THERES A LONG WINDING LEGAL
ROAD STILL AHEAD, STEPHANIE.
>> FRANK, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
CONTINUES TO PRAISE MANY OF
THESE PEOPLE, TO DOUBLE DOWN ON
HIS BIG LIE.
WE KNOW THAT OFFICER DUNN SAID
CAPITOL POLICE WERENT PREPARED
ON JANUARY 6th.
NOW, THE NEW CHIEF SAYS THEYRE
IN A BETTER SPOT, BUT LOOK AT
THE CALENDAR.
WE ARE JUST DAYS AWAY FROM THIS
RIDICULOUS RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY
THEORY, THIS IDEA THAT TRUMP IS
GOING TO BE BACK IN OFFICE IN
AUGUST.
THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT TRUE, BUT
ARE WE PREPARED FOR THE THREAT
FROM THESE TYPES OF PEOPLE WHEN
IT DOESNT BECOME A REALITY?
>> YEAH, THERES A CULT-LIKE --
THOSE THAT STUDY CULTS HAVE
SOMETHING CALLED FORCING THE
END, WHICH IS WHEN WHAT YOU WANT
TO HAPPEN, WHAT YOUR LEADER HAS
TOLD YOU WILL HAPPEN NEVER
HAPPENS, AND THEN YOU MAKE IT
HAPPEN YOURSELF.
I THINK THATS THE GREATEST
THREAT OF ALL REGARDING THIS
NONSENSE INVOLVING COMING BACK
AND BEING REINSTATED IN AUGUST.
TO YOUR QUESTION, I STILL DONT
SEE WHAT HAS CHANGED
SIGNIFICANTLY ABOUT THE SECURITY
POSTURE IN AND AROUND THE
CAPITOL THATS GOING TO BE ABLE
TO PUSH BACK AND REPEL A FORCE
LIKE WE SAW ON JANUARY 6th.
I DONT SEE CHANGES IN RULES, I
DONT SEE CHANGES IN STAFFING,
IM NOT HEARING ABOUT A ROVING
FORCE THAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO
PROTECT THE WHOLE CAPITOL REGION
AND I DEFINITELY DONT SEE RULES
CHANGED AT FDI THAT ALLOW THEM
TO GET OUT AHEAD OF THE
INTELLIGENCE AND PREVENT
SOMETHING FROM HAPPENING.
>> MITCH MCCONNELL SAID HE WAS
TOO BUSY WORKING TO EVEN WATCH
THE TESTIMONY.
OFFICER JONES, WE HEARD ONE
OFFICER SAY THAT HE WAS CALLED
THE "N" WORD OVER AND OVER
DURING THE RIOT.
THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO
DO WITH TRUMP LOSING THE
ELECTION.
THERE WAS VERY CLEARLY A WHITE
NATIONAL MOVEMENT TIED TO ALL OF
THIS.
HOW DO WE HANDLE IT?
>> FIRST WE HAVE TO GET THE
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ONLINE, WE
HAVE TO GET THE REPUBLICANS
ONLINE.
AND WE, THE PEOPLE, AS THE
CONSTITUTION STATES, HAVE TO BE
ABLE TO FORCE OUR MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS TO DO THE RIGHT THING,
UNTIL WE MAKE CONGRESS
ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED ON
JANUARY 6th, WE WILL NEVER FIND
OUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON
JANUARY 6th.
AND FOR THEM OFFICERS ITS A
SLAP IN THE FACE.
>> MORE THAN A SLAP IN THE FACE.
GARRETT, BESIDES SOME
REPUBLICANS NOT WATCHING THE
HEARING, IT HAS ONLY BEEN A
MONTH SINCE 21 REPUBLICANS VOTED
AGAINST A BILL TO HONOR THOSE
VERY FIRST RESPONDERS.
DID ANY OF THOSE LAWMAKERS FEEL
ANY DIFFERENT THAFRAFTER WHAT WE
HEARD?
HAVE THEY MADE ANY PUBLIC
STATEMENTS?
>> Reporter: IVE NOT SEEN ANY
STATEMENTS WITH LAWMAKERS
CHANGING THEIR TUNE.
ITS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT
THE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WERENT
THE INTENDED AUDIENCE, ITS THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND
PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO MIGHT
HAVE HEARD A REWRITING OF
HISTORY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
MONTHS ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY DID
HAPPEN ON JANUARY 6th.
IF THEY WATCHED YESTERDAY, NOW
THEY KNOW.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE CONTENTS
OF THAT HEARING DID SPILL OUT
INTO OTHER HEARINGS, INCLUDING
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WHEN
CONGRESSMAN JAMIE RASKIN PRESSED
ANDREW CLYDE, A REPUBLICAN OF
GEORGIA WHO SAID IF YOU DIDNT
KNOW IT WAS JANUARY 6th, THE
IMAGES OF STATUARY HALL LOOKED
LIKE A NORMAL TOURIST VISIT.
RASKIN ASKED HIM IF HE STILL
FELT THAT WAY AFTER WHAT HE
HEARD AND HERES THAT EXCHANGE.
>> YOU KNOW, IF YOU DIDNT KNOW
THE TV FOOTAGE WAS A VIDEO FROM
JANUARY 6th, YOU WOULD ACTUALLY
THINK IT WAS A NORMAL TOURIST
VISIT.
THOSE ARE YOUR WORDS.
>> AND I STAND BY THAT EXACT
STATEMENT AS I SAID IT.
>> Reporter: SO, STEPHANIE, I
THINK THE POLITICAL
RAMIFICATIONS AND THE WAY IN
WHICH HOUSE REPUBLICANS, AT
LEAST SOME OF THEM, I SHOULD BE
CLEAR NOT TO SPEAK FOR ALL OF
THEM, BUT SOME OF THEM TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY
6th WILL REMAIN THE SAME, AT
LEAST FOR NOW.
>> BUTCH, HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU
FEEL?
YOU WATCHED YOUR GUYS TESTIFY,
SPEAK ABOUT THE HORRORS THEY
FACED IN DEFENDING LAWMAKERS.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HEAR THOSE
VERY SAME LAWMAKERS COMPLETELY
DISMISS WHAT THEIR TESTIMONY
WAS?
>> I THINK THIS IS AN
EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR COUNTRY,
NUMBER ONE.
NUMBER TWO, IS THAT IM
SURPRISED, LIKE MITCH MCCONNELL,
ALL OF THEM HAD 24/7 POLICE
PROTECTION.
HOW CAN THEY FACE THEM EVERY DAY
AND SAY THAT IT WAS JUST A
NORMAL DAY?
IM APPALLED THAT THEY ARE
TREATING CAPITOL POLICE THE WAY
THEY ARE.
NUMBER ONE, JANUARY THE 6th,
THEY PROTECTED CONGRESS.
THEY ALLOWED THEM TO GO HOME
THAT NIGHT AND TO TURN THEIR
BACKS ON THEM THE WAY THEY HAVE
DONE SINCE JANUARY THE 6th IS A
