investigate the capitol attack. it is going to get worse, because it always does with trump and his henchmen and women. many of us hoped after trump left office that democracy could breathe a sigh of relief. that the attacks were over. but we must still be vigilant, because he is still attacking democracy from the outside. and we re still learning about all the attacks that he made from the inside. joining us now, democratic congressman jim himes of connecticut. he s a member of the house intelligence committee. and as of now, we don t believe, you are a target, unless that s changed? on this investigation. well, we don t know, ali. right now i can t find an email. believe it or, not they let us know by email. i can t find a email in my scrambled from apple. at this point, i don t know. but again, i know you asked i m speaking tongue-in-cheek. we don t begin to know how wide this goes. we ve asked the justice department for a complete list of who was subpoenaed, whose
