in the coming days? i would expect to see more from jack smith s office. he is towards the top, he is potentially the most important or one of the most important witnesses to what happened on january 6th. both at the white house and then eventually at the capitol. but there are tougher nuts to crack, one might say, in terms of trying to get up there and talk to president trump, talk to people who were in the white house while mike pence was essentially running for his life in the capital. and just to pick up on an earlier point, the tougher nuts to crack, and also the different components of the subpoena issue here. what is the expectation that trump s own legal team is going to dive in here and say no, this stuff is protected by executive privilege, you cannot, mike pence, talk to special counsel. that would be a violation of that executive privilege that we are talking about. i think it was close to her percent chance that is exactly
