WHEN "ALL IN" STARTS RIGHT NOW.
>>> GOOD EVENING FROM
WASHINGTON, D.C.
IM ZERLINA MAXWELL IN FOR CHRIS
HAYES.
>>> EVEN THOUGH BOTH DEMOCRATS
AND REPUBLICANS WERE ALL THERE
TOGETHER WHEN HUNDREDS AND
HUNDREDS OF TRUMP RIOTERS
ATTACKED THE CAPITOL IN ATTEMPT
TO OVERTURN THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION, WITH EACH PASSING DAY,
MORE AND MORE REPUBLICAN
SENATORS ARE COMING OUT AGAINST
THE BIPARTISAN JANUARY 6th
COMMISSION.
INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY ADDRESSING
THE BIPARTISAN CONTENT OF THE
BILL, FLORIDA SENATOR MARCO
RUBIO WONDERED IF DEMOCRATS WANT
TO TURN THE COMMISSION INTO A
POLITICAL WEAPON.
>> THIS IS ABOUT POLITICS.
HERES HOW.
THEY HAVE THIS THING THAT SAYS,
WELL, IN ORDER TO ISSUE A
SUBPOENA, YOU NEED BOTH A
REPUBLICAN AND A DEMOCRATIC
SIDE, EVENLY DIVIDED, TO AGREE
TO IT.
THATS NOT THE POINT FOR
POLITICS.
YOU DONT ACTUALLY NEED THE
SUBPOENA.
ALL YOU NEED IS A STORY OUT
THERE SAYING, CONGRESSMAN
SO-AND-SO, THEY WANT TO SUBPOENA
HIM OR HER.
BUT THEY CANT BECAUSE THE
REPUBLICANS ARE BLOCKING IT.
>> ACCORDING TO MARCO RUBIO, THE
BIPARTISAN COMMISSION IS BACK.
BECAUSE MEMBERS WILL USE IT TO
SUBPOENA PEOPLE AND EMBARRASS
THEM.
FOR CONTEXT, REMEMBER WHAT A BIG
DEAL REPUBLICANS MADE ABOUT
BENGHAZI?
HOUSE REPUBLICANS CONDUCTED SIX
DIFFERENT INVESTIGATIONS AND
THEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER
FIVE REPUBLICAN-LED HOUSE
COMMITTEES RELEASED A 43-PAGE
REPORT SPECIFICALLY FAULTING THE
STATE DEPARTMENT FOR THE 2012
BENGHAZI ATTACK, SENATOR MARCO
RUBIO RAN AN OP-ED DEMANDING
MORE INVESTIGATIONS AND
COMPLAINING, NO ONE HAS YET BEEN
HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
AND THEN THEY MADE HILLARY
CLINTON TESTIFY FOR 11 STRAIGHT
HOURS.
YOU REMEMBER THAT.
AND SENATOR MARCO RUBIO WAS SO
UPSET, HE JUST HAD TO HAVE A
SENATE HEARING WITH A WOMAN WHO
JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE WOMAN
WHO WOULD BE THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT.
>> MADAM SECRETARY, WE ALL WISH
THAT THAT THIS HAD NEVER
HAPPENED SO THIS HEARING WOULD
NEVER HAVE HAD TO HAPPEN.
BEFORE THE ATTACK ON BENGHAZI,
WHAT HAD WE DONE SPECIFICALLY TO
HELP THEM BUILD THEIR SECURITY
CAPACITIES?
>> WELL, THERES A LONG LIST AND
ILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT TO
YOU.
>> SENATOR RUBIO IS MORE
CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE
SECRETARY OF STATE RESPONDED IN
LIBYA THAN HOW PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP RESPONDED DURING AN
INSURRECTION RIGHT HERE IN
AMERICA.
HE THINKS DEMOCRATS WANT TO USE
THIS BIPARTISAN COMMITTEE FOR
POLITICAL PURPOSES, JUST LIKE
THEY DID WITH BENGHAZI.
AND WE KNOW THATS HOW
REPUBLICANS VIEWED THE EDED THE
HEARINGS.
>> EVERYBODY THOUGHT HILLARY
CLINTON WAS UNBEATABLE.
WE PUT TOGETHER A BENGHAZI
SPECIAL COMMITTEE, A SELECT
COMMITTEE.
WHAT ARE HER NUMBERS TODAY?
HER NUMBERS ARE DROPPING.
WHY?
BECAUSE SHES UNTRUSTABLE.
BUT NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ANY
OF THAT HAD HAPPENED HAD WE --
>> I AGREE.
>> THIS IS WHY A COMMISSION
LOOKING INTO THE JANUARY 6th
INSURRECTION IS TOO MUCH FOR
THEM.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS
THAT STILL NEED TO BE ANSWERED.
QUESTIONS THAT REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSMAN JOHN CONTACT CO, YOU
KNOW, THE GUY WHO HELPED DESIGN
THE COMMISSION, HIGHLIGHTED TWO
DAYS AGO ON THE HOUSE FLOOR.
>> WE MUST FIND ANSWERS TO THE
MANY QUESTIONS SURROUNDING THAT
DAY.
WHAT INFORMATION WAS KNOWN
LEADING UP TO JANUARY 6 IN THIS
WHY WAS THAT INFORMATION NOT
SHARED WITH THE PROPER ENTITIES?
WHY WERE CAPITOL POLICE OFFICERS
LEFT SO UNPREPARED?
WHO DETAILED TO PROVIDE THEM
WITH SUPPORT?
WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR
REINFORCEMENTS TO COME TO THEIR
AID?
HOW CAN WE APPROVE THE
DECISION-MAKING AND BUREAUCRACY
THAT IS CLEARLY HAM TEARING THE
CAPITOL POLICE AND SECURITY OF
THE CAPITOL POLICE?
HOW CAN WE ENSURE THAT THE
CAPITOL, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS,
AND OUR STAFFS ARE SECURE FROM
ATTACKS?
AND HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT THIS
IS A SAFER PLACE FOR MEMBERS OF
THE CAPITOL POLICE FORCE, WHO
RISK THEIR LIVES EVERY DAY TO
PROTECT US?
>> THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
POLITICAL ABOUT THOSE QUESTIONS.
