talk to us about this new development as it relates to the january 6th committee and this intent to respond to this doj request for transcripts. it was something the department of justice had to ask for twice to this point. yeah, had to ask for twice. and you saw in the letter that came yesterday, as hearings were ongoing, that the justice department said that by not having this, it could also be hampering some of the investigations that they are already ongoing with. that s something that i posed to chairman bennie thompson yesterday after the hearings were over. he said, basically, it wasn t a question of if they were going to comply, but went. although, now, we do have a better sense that that compliance is happening. i can throw up for you on the screen there a statement from a committee spokesperson who says, the select committee is engaged in a cooperative process to address the needs of the department of justice. they re not inclined to share the details of that publ
speech. i assume you ve stepped outside to be able to chat with us. any headlines so far or not so much? so the president is speaking right now, in fact. and he is saying that the committee s work is a sham. he s been particularly insulting of individual members of the committee. he described adam schiff, as having a watermelon head, so that s one small headline. but he also has said that the committee, their work has been edited, selectively edited that paints him in the worst possible light. so seven, eight, nine-hour depositions according to trump have been edited down to 5, 10, 15-second little snippets that the public is seeing and not really capturing the full scope of what witnesses are saying. so he is contending that this is a one-sided process. the committee is not giving him a fair shake. and he is very angry and a lot of his speech is about him going off the teleprompter and really
normal. as we learned last night, wihat the doj did was nearly unprecedented in who it targeted. nor, is this normal. as congressman schiff was being investigated, fruitlessly, it seems, the nation s chief executive was conducting a public vendetta against him, which continued straight through the end of his term. little, pencil-neck adam schiff. he s got the smallest, thinnest neck i have ever seen. i saw little shifty schiff, yesterday. you shifty schiff. how did you do it? shifty schiff. okay. you know, the world s most dishonest politician. adam schiff, the watermelon head, right? he is not a long-ball hitter. call him shifty schiff. we don t call him shifty schiff for nothing. he is a shifty, dishonest guy. and when you see little adam schiff go out and lie and lie and stand at the mic. smart guy, by the way. you, little pencil neck.
