committees body of work. i think you re seeing most members get tired of the which hansen the games, let s focus on policies that affect everyday families right now, instead of these partners in witchhunts that they will keep going along. liz cheney who is one of the committees to republican making her case to her fellow lawmakers for their case against men. i ve heard from a number of my colleagues in the last several days, who say they quote, just don t want to target on their back. they are just trying to keep their heads down. they don t want to anger kevin mccarthy. i asked each one of you to step back from the brink, i urge you to do what you know is right. think about how you will answer when history asks, what did you do when congress was attacked? should the full house find bannon in contempt, the speaker must then referred the matter to the justice department for possible prosecution. questions about how attorney general merrick garland intends to handle the
