jenna ellis who, very out in the open on television, at press conferences, pushed their election fraud allegations. is this and since they criticized the press coverage, is it an element of payback here? i just think they were critical players in this operation, the january 6th operation, and we need to know all about what they did those days leading up to it, the day of it and, yes, i mean, i would only just say that they are critical players, and we need to know everything that they were doing. and i think that s why there s a lot of interest in it in the press. if we find out there were other people involved through these communications and texts, i think we ll also be zeroing in on their actions. it s like any sort of investigation, covering a trial, etc. howard: all right. you have to follow each incental stage, the information incremental stage and not make conclusions along the way. howard: i ve got just a few seconds for a final point. yeah. you want to report every s
