morning. we had an officer killed beyond that day on good friday. pelosi would only let us have the scope this far. mr. leader, speaker pelosi didn t actually enumerate her objections in rejecting your members she did to me. that s what i was going to say. the objections are republican members were photographed with someone who was here and broke into the capitol on january 6th she never said nothing about that. okay. this is something that we re being told. she said her members didn t want her to put these people on. could you speak to that idea, though, that members i don t know what you re talking. i don t know what you re talking about. the idea that some of your words about needing an investigation into last summer s protests no, let me be clear. let me be clear. they shouldn t object to that. if they want a 9/11 commission, the 9/11 commission looked at september 11th, but they looked at what built up and caused
establish the purpose of what we are setting out to do, to make sure that this never happens again. i just put out a press release so you have the names of the members on the committee. again it was our hope we could have done this with a bipartisan outside commission, maybe one day that will be possible. it took 14 1/2 months for the 9/11 commission to be signed into law. perhaps this is on the horizon. in the meantime then and meantime now it will be a congressional investigation. then i happened to be co-chair of that investigation bipartisan and bicameral. it may be hard to do bicameral as they limit what we can do on
to make sure that this never happens again. i just put out a press release so you have the fames of the members on the committee. again it was our hope that we could have done this with a bipartisan outside commission. maybe one day that will be possible. it took 14 and a half months for the 9/11 commission to be signed into law. perhaps this is on the horizon. but in the meantime, then and in the meantime now, it is going to be congressional investigation. then i happen to be a co-chair of that investigation, and that t was bipartisan and bicammeral. its hard to do bicammeral since they limit the investigation on their side as to what we could look into. but i m very proud. and as i say, decisions are liberating. they enable you to go to the next step.
over, again. you are asking for either a select or special committee or a special prosecutor? well, you know, we ve spent the last two months talking about a commission around january 6th. i was there on january 6th. i was, very much, at risk on january 6th. but if you asked me to choose, between a commission to figure out exactly what happened on january 6th and january 5th and january 7th. or a commission that would look at the abuse of the state department, which, of course, got donald trump impeached the first time. the abuse of the doj. and what else happened out there? i would choose the second. i would like to know, from soup to nuts, because we know that this president had every opportunity. used the tools of the american public, the the federal government for his own, personal gain. i want to know where that stopped and that that that may go beyond a select committee. so, as we played at the top
interviewed and interrogated, you know, hundreds of people. he shows, like, every one of the signs of deception, in that answer. so, no, i don t take him at his word. director, how much faith do you put in this doj inspector-general investigation? well, i think, i i kind of agree with congressman himes. i think it s bigger than just doj and, of course, the the we re talking about the inspector general of the department of justice. and i think this is probably going to turn out to be far farther reaching than just one department of the government. i think we are going to find other examples of abuse like this. i think congressman himes had a great idea, although probably never happen, is some sort of outside commission. director james clapper, andrew mccabe, i thank you both for this. appreciate it. thanks, john. more on this investigation, in just a moment. and the comparisons that were almost immediately made between trump and another president, with an enemies list.
