THERE'S NOTHING THAT NECESSARILY
IS AUTOMATICALLY APP LICK TO
BELIEVE THIS VERY UNIQUE AND
PRETTY AWFUL SITUATION WE SAW ON
JANUARY 6th.
>> IT'S BARBARA McWADE WHO
TAUGHT ME THERE ARE TWO FEDERAL
STATUTES THAT ARE APPLICABLE,
BUT THEY DO HAVE TO PUT IT TOGETHER TO APPLY THE STATUTE.
TOGETHER TO APPLY THE STATUTE. YOU BETTER THAN ANYONE VL
FOLLOWING THERE WAS A LOT OF NEW
VIDEO EVIDENCE, BUT WAS THERE
ANY THAT YOU HAD NEVER SEEN
BEFORE?
>> YOU KNOW, THERE WAS ACTUALLY
SOME VIDEO EVIDENCE.
-- ALL THIS VIDEO, THE CAPITOL
AND SOME OF THAT HAD NEVER BEEN
SEEN BEFORE.
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF BODY WORN
CLIPS, AND CERTAINLY THEY HAD
THAT FOOTAGE BY THE
DOCUMENTARIAN.
SO THERE DEFINITELY WERE SOME
NEW SCENES THERE, AND IT'S
SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
USING TO COMPILE FOR USE AGAINST
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ALREADY
BEEN IDENTIFIED AND USED TO
IDENTIFY NEW INDIVIDUALS.
I'M ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN
SEEING IN THE FUTURE HEARINGS
WHEN THE COMMITTEE EXPLAINED WHY
THESE INDIVIDUALS DID WHAT THEY
DID AND USES THEIR OWN WORDS TO
SHOW THE CONNECTION BETWEEN
DONALD TRUMP'S WORDS AND THE
VIOLENT ACTIONS WE SAW ON
JANUARY 6th.
WE SAW A LITTLE BIT OF A PREVIEW
OF THAT IN THE HEARING YESTERDAY
AS WELL AS THE HEARING LAST
WEEKEND.
SOME OF THE OFFICIALS ARE ON THE
FBI LIST AND HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED BUT NOT CHARKED YET.
THERE'S ALSO PEOPLE WHO DID
VIOLENT ACTS.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE FEATURED IN
THE VIDEO YESTERDAY HAS BEEN
IDENTIFIED BUT HAS NOT BEEN
ARRESTED YET.
AFTER HE DID THAT INTERVIEW,
WENT ON TO COMMIT VIOLENCE BY
SMACKING A PRIFR WITH A FLAG
POLE AS SEEN ON VIDEO.
I THINK WE COULD SEE SOME OF
THOSE VICTIMS WHO PLAYED A
STARRING ROLE IN THE JANUARY 6th
COMMITTEES GETTING CHARGED IN
THE FUTURE.
>> THAT IS FASCINATING, THAT
LITTLE NEWS NUGGET THERE.
IN TERMS OF LINKING ALL THE
EVIDENCE SO FAR BACK TO DONALD
TRUMP, IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT
THE COMMITTEE IS MAKING A
CONCERTED EFFORT TO DO THAT.
HOW DO YOU READ THEIR
UTILIZATION OF THE EVIDENCE AND
TAKING EACH AND EVERY SINGLE
PIECE AND LINKING IT DIRECTLY
BACK TO DONALD TRUMP?
>> I THINK THAT IT -- YOU KNOW,
WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS REALLY
FOCUSED ON IS PROVING THIS
ELEMENT THAT WOULD BE VERY
IMPORTANT IF THE PROSECUTION OF
DONALD TRUMP WAS TO GO FORWARD,
WHICH IS WHAT WAS HIS KNOWLEDGE,
RIGHT?
AND HE HAD BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY
BY A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT
THIS WAS NONSENSE.
I DO THINK IF THAT'S GOING TO
PLAY A ROLE IN ANY PROSECUTION
GOING FORWARD, THERE'S SOME
DISAGREEMENT ON HIS ACTUAL STATE
OF MIND, IF HE ACTUALLY BELIEVED
THE LIES.
BUT IT CERTAINLY WOULD PLAY A
ROLE IN ANY PROSECUTION GETTING
AT HIS MIND SET.
BRINGING OUT THE EVIDENCE THAT
HE WAS TOLD BY PEOPLE IN HIS
ADMINISTRATION AND PEOPLE WHO
WERE INTO THE DETAILS OF THIS
INVESTIGATION THAT THIS WAS ALL
NONSENSE OR BS AS WILLIAM BARR
PUT IT IS PRETTY CRIMINAL.
JUST EXPOSING THAT EVIDENCE TO
THE PUBLIC AND BRINGING IT OUT
IN A USABLE FORM AS THIS JANUARY
6th COMMITTEE IS DOING IS VERY
VALUED TO ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE
PROSECUTION.
>> WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT ONE MORE
MINUTE HERE, BUT THE COMMITTEE
HAS POSTPONED A HEARING TO
THURSDAY NOW, WHICH IS SUPPOSED
TO FOCUS ON WHAT WAS HAPPENING
AT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WITH
TRUMP'S PRESSURE TO CLAIM FRAUD
AND TRY TO OVERTURN THE
ELECTIONS.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE
DELAY, IF THERE'S ANY REPORTING
AROUND THAT, FORTHAT'S NOT EVEN
NEWS WORTHY, WHAT THE COMMITTEE
IS ANTICIPATED FOCUSSING ON IN
THURSDAY'S HEARING?
>> YEAH WITH P WHAT WE HEARD
FROM A MEMBER THIS MORNING WAS
BASICALLY A CAPACITY ISSUE.
COMMITTEES HAD SCHEDULED THREE
PEOPLE FOR THIS WEEK.
YESTERDAY, WE SAW AN INSTANCE
WHERE ONE OF THE WITNESSES HAD
THE BAIL OUT BECAUSE HIS WIFE
WENT INTO LABOR, SO THAT CAUSED
A BIT OF A SCRAMBLE BEHIND THE
SCENES.
SO IT SEEMS LIKE FROM WHAT THE
COMMITTEE IS SUGGESTING IS THIS
IS JUST A CAPACITY ISSUE AND GOT
AHEAD OF THEMSELVES SCHEDULING
THAT MANY MEETINGS IN ONE WEEK,
SO ONE IS GOING TO BE DELAYED
UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
THEY'RE GOING TO DOMINATE THE
CONVERSATION FOR CERTAINLY THIS
WEEK INTO NEXT WEEK AND THE
FOLLOWING WEEK.
SO JUNE IS GOING TO BE PACKED
WITH THESE HEARINGS, SO WE'LL
