why did they want to make jeffrey clark attorney general, what did he think about the letter that jeffrey clark cwas proposing to send to state legislators in georgia. why were fox news hosts texting him telling him that they needed to get the president out to stop this. why did they think the president was those who could stop this. many of those people are saying, gosh, this was just tourists. or this was a false flag operation, another person on fox news has claimed. >> clearly they have a lot of questions for the former chief of staff, and if he was to cooperate or continue to engage, he would be such a critical witness for their investigation. but they continue to proceed with this criminal contempt. it's unlikely that they will hear from mark meadows. the other outstanding question is whether this goes to the justice department, if attorney general merrick garland will proceed with the prosecution against meadows. they have of course been prosecuting another trump ally, steve bannon. this case is different for several reasons. meadows was a top official at the white house on january

president trump intended to appoint jeffrey clark as attorney general. in part so that mr. clark could alter the department of justice's conclusions regarding the election. mr. clark has now informed this committee that he anticipated criminal prosecution related to these matters and therefore intends an upcoming testimony to invoke his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination. as mr. meadows' nonprivileged texts reveal, he communicated multiple times with another member of this body working with mr. clark. mr. meadows has no basis to refuse to testify regarding those communications. he is in contempt. january 6th was without precedent. there has been no stronger case in our nation's history for a congressional investigation into the actions of a former president. this body must investigate the facts and detail and we are entitled to ask mr. meadows about the non-privileged materials he has produced to us. i'm sure you'll hear my colleagues this afternoon say there are privilege issues here that must be resolved before we can move forward. any argument that the

harry, let me start with you on what jeffrey clark is doing. on the precipice of being referred for criminal referral he says i will come but i am going to take the fifth. >> give me another chance to make a record so i don't get indicted for criminal contempt. instead of all the half baked privilege claims i am going to take the fifth amendment. adam schiff says, he's a former prosecutor, well and good, but you have to do it question by question. they will sit him down, he will raise his hand, were you working a the department of justice in december of 2020. on advice of counsel, i respectfully decline to answer that question. >> schiff will then try to probe other questions say to him you can't do it in a wholesale way. but the ultimate audience here, nicolle s merrick garland. if he continues to do it generically, schiff and the committee will be apoplectic, but will that make it harder to have a referral and make it look like he acted with criminal intent? i think it will. i think this is kind of a game, unpleasant for both, but especially

look, jeffrey clark should be referred for contempt, and contempt should be actually the least of jeffrey clark's worries. let's remember who this guy is. he was a high-ranking official at doj. he committed a fraud inside the justice department. he wrote a letter to the state of georgia saying, we, the doj, have identified potential widespread election fraud and you, state of georgia, you need to call a special session and apoint new electors. he should be held in contempt if he continues to defy the committee, and he may have bigger problems as well. >> elie, thank you so much, sir. appreciate it. >>> with all of this going on, the gop is having an absolute meltdown. the qanon congresswoman publicly and repeatedly slamming a colleague in her own party for opposing hate and bigotry, and from the leaders of the gop, crickets. really make my dry skin healthier in one day? it's true jen. really?! this nourishing prebiotic oat formula moisturizes to help prevent dry skin. one day? for real! wow! aveeno® healthy. it's our nature.™ i gotta say i'm still impressed. very impressed. new daily m
