have on special counsel jack smith sweeping investigation, and the second question is, jack smith sat in on mike pence s testimony before the january 6th grand jury. why would he do that? so number one, yes, very important, especially the conviction of irrigate theriot who is not physically present at the capitol. i think that should embolden jack smith to consider charging other people, even if they were not at the capitol. and to, why would he sit and listen to that testimony? i think because i see it as pivotal and he wanted to hear it firsthand. hearing the inflections in the voice, the body language, can be more important than reading the word on the page. and so, it strikes me as he found that important to any charging decision he might make down the road. all right, barbara mcquade, thank you very much. as always, for coming to the saturday show. thank you, jonathan. up next, my conversation with john legend on his new documentary, home free, about the oscars nichols re
