CHUCK TODD:
So if the Democrats maintain the Senate although, you’ll know this in December? If Democrats maintain the Senate or if Democrats lose the Home, do you ship your investigative supplies over to the Judiciary Committee and Dick Durbin?
REP. JAMIE RASKIN:
Properly, we’re going to make it possible for our investigative supplies are made public and can be found for the longer term. And we’re going to protect them. We’re not going to permit them to be destroyed.
CHUCK TODD:
But it surely’s my understanding, the investigation, I’m advised you’ve acquired a lot proof you can’t end this up by the top of the calendar yr. You do want extra time. The president might create a committee by government order to complete this job. And Liz Cheney’s not going to be in Congress, possibly she’s one of many co-chairs. Do you do this to protect this investigation?
REP. JAMIE RASKIN:
Look. It might have been loads higher, had Donald Trump primarily not gotten the Republicans within the Home to veto the creation of an unbiased, 9/11-style fee. However we’re going to make it possible for the entire proof is preserved. However the primary factor is that this coming Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. And in our report, we would like America to grasp there was a premeditated and deliberate hit on American democracy in try and override the desire of the individuals. And the forces that supported which might be nonetheless on the market and would gladly do it once more. And a whole lot of them are working for prime places of work, like Mastriano in Pennsylvania. These are people who find themselves election-deniers who’re dedicated mainly to their celebration successful, no matter who truly gained the election.
Shedding the Home may not be the top of the 1/6 investigation. Biden might create a committee to maintain the work going, and if Democrats preserve the Senate, they might use the proof to proceed or develop on the Home investigation.
Home Republicans declare that they will examine the investigation in the event that they win the bulk, however that effort will seemingly acquire little or no traction with the press and the general public as latest years have demonstrated a basic skepticism towards the blatantly partisan investigations that Republicans used to run within the Home like Benghazi.
The unhealthy information for Trump and his co-conspirators is that even when Republicans win management of the Home, the investigations aren’t going to cease, and the muse that has been set by the 1/6 Committee often is the foundation for future probes.
