Little bit. Jeffery rosen is going to testify tomorrow. Hes going to testify this. I quote him. The department had been presented with no evidence of widespread voter spread at a scale sufficient to change the outcome of the 2020 election. No evidence. No evidence of a stolen election. Just to be clear rosen was doing was reaffirming what chris wray said and what more than across the Country Courts have said. Steve scalise voted to remove liz cheney, telling cnn it is not about right or wrong, it is about the focus of our conference and focusing back on the agenda thats pushed by the Biden Administration. I want to take this into two parts. The basic thing right there that i said, this is not right or wrong.

As of this hour federal Officials Say theyve tracked down and charged more than 200 people for their roles in the insurrection. While theres more to find and hold accountable, republicans are still evading accountability. Democrats vow to keep that from happening, and are trying to deliver a gut punch to republicans through the official record, by recounting their stories of survival as extremist stormed the capitol.
