joining us now is my colleague and host of the beat, ar melber, who in addition to his copious and important hostin duties, has also written a forward on the coup conspiracy for the harvard collin generous sixth report. we re also happy to have wit us the great barbara quaid former u.s. attorney our, barb, thanks for joinin me, and all of us on this nigh when we see how the committe wraps it up with the bow ari, i think it is indicativ of the way in which this investigation has captured the public s imagination the fact that you are coauthor, a named author on copy of the report that s bein put out by her pro collins for public consumption let s do a little before, you, know how it started, how it going on the january 6th committee, which is, you know, how did this work teache expected shoveled was possible it s a quick question because that s how we re all
gucci quote that is explaining what s happening in this report but i m gonna ask you about point where trying to explor the end of that script, whic is, we know fani willis, the fulton county d.a. and she s launched her own investigation. she subpoenaed a lot of thes names that are in the coming s report i think even new ticking which may be one of the people she spent. why is there not - why is there not more stat level investigation into a least the fake electors aspect of the january 6th insurrectio and it seems like there is a real case to be made that frau was committed at the state level given what we know about the trump campaign and the trump white house outreach t state level elections official and of course the fake elector themselves right, i think it was seven states that had very similar types of experiences, where th electors were approached by th trump campaign and asked t sign their names to these, now calling the fake slates of electors they may have seen it as a pro
