Peace process, but leaving the specifics up in the air. Why does it matter . Think back to how this year has unfolded. Powell positioned herself, when she came in, part of that wing or faction in the white house. Jared kushner, ivanka trump, but since then working to build rips with people like h. R. Mcmaster is someone that the president trusts and looks to in some of these big settings and high profile moments. And she has influence here in the west wing. That said there have also been questions about her own sort of positioning or the rumors or speculation of where she wanted to end up. She was widely rumored to have wanted to get back to new york. Her family is still there. Which is obviously potentially part of what plays into this. But i would note just a couple things here. Number one this may be just the start of what were now seeing

it s unclear the mike pence would agree to talk to the kple voluntary or if they would consider issuing a subpoena. he was one of the few people with security detail and the agents can provide more information about what the white house knew about the threat of violence. perhaps most importantly shs pence can also answer questions about conversations he had with donald trump in the days leading up to the insurrection. we know from extensive media reporting trump pressured pence to enable his coup plot but throwing out million of voefts and handing the election to trump. pence was the one man who may have most prevented many the final moment donald trump from destroying american democracy on the day an angry mob was looking to hang him and told him so. down playing january 6th as just another day. just another day where they were
anything related to attempts to undermine the election results without an assertion of executive privilege mucking it up. that s what s happened over the last couple of years with the attempts to get to the bottom of things, for example, in the impeachment hearing. we don t have that now. that really eases the way for this committee to subpoena folks, including people with the president on january 6th as this was all happening who can maybe tell us the reason why help wasn t sent immediately. one of the talking points that republicans, not those two on the committee but those who are not including kevin mccarthy keeps saying is this is nancy pelosi kple and she doesn t waunts to find out why the capitol was vulnerable that day. she s not going to let them find out why the capitol was vulnerable. that s what we wanted. obvious they will answer that question. isn t that one of the pressing questions of why was the capitol vulnerable? is that an off limits question?
