missionary. let s turn to the january 6 committee. i want to take a listen to what president biden said on friday. what s your mressage to peope who defy congressional subpoenas? i hope the committee goes after them and holds them accountable. should they be prosecuted? yes. the justice department later clarified that they would make their decisions based only on the law and on the facts. do you think it s appropriate for president biden to say that? does it make your job on the committee more difficult? i think it s appropriate. the president has every right to signal. i think he has every right to make it clear where the administration stands. god knows, the prior administration every two hours was trying to signal to the justice department. that had to do with other pretty horrific things. i think the president has made it clear we need answers to this.
