on the accountability side, what do you think the chance is that the outcome of your efforts and the committee s efforts will be anything more than what we ve seen in the past when it comes to try to hold trump and his people to account? well, let s see. let s start with the trials. i mean, in the second impeachment trial, we had concurrent robust bipartisan majorities in the house and senate declaring as a fact that trump incited a violent insurrection against the union. it s true he beat the constitutional spread of two-thirds, so he wasn t convicted. but you had an overwhelming majority of both the house and senate declaring that he did it. so, we established that. but that s just about one guy. what we re working on now in the select committee is trying to determine what was the pattern of relationships among the trump entourage and all of his political june e kis with the oath keepers and the violent groups surrounding the political coup. and we usually think of
