[Rhiannon12866]

Former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi and former Congresswoman Donna Edwards share their opinions on what the Jan 6th select committee’s next steps should be and how the committee can ensure it gets all the information needed to investigate the January 6th insurrection. Aired on 08/24/2021.

1. Absolutely!

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I'm hoping that Adam Schiff is on MSNBC tonight, he'd be the one to ask about this

[SheltieLover]

4. For sure!

Fingers crossed! 🤞🤞🤞

I adore Schiff!

[Ilsa]

3. I'm waiting to hear from carriers,

plausibly, that they no longer have the data on those individuals.

[Grasswire2]

5. yep

Seven stinking months.

[onecaliberal]

6. Day 1. Should have happened.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. When the committee was first formed, Adam Schiff said definitively that this was the plan

I agree, this should have been their first priority.

8. I hope they start moving on it.

If the republicans win back the senate they will get rid of the filibuster and blow up the two remaining grains of democracy. There honestly cannot be a person alive with a beating heart that believes otherwise.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. After the well publicized launch of the Committee

Which included the choice of members and the harrowing testimony of the Capitol officers, we haven't heard much. I can understand not giving out sensitive information about the investigation to the press or the public, but Adam Schiff initially said there would be subpoenas, so what are they doing??

[Evolve Dammit]

10. It is almost eerily quiet, isn't it? Only a few know what they are doing (or not doing). Schiff

seems a bit rattled in the last few interviews; not himself. Makes you wonder what is going on.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. You're right, I've seen that, too.

And he's not easily flustered, he led the first impeachment hearing. And they got off to a promising start, solid membership and the compelling testimony of the Capitol officers. It sounded like they were off and running. I'm wondering, too. *sigh*

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Something is up. And we're left to guess as usual. Perhaps evidence is really disturbing like Iraq

torture hearings where Senators who were shown video evidence emerged from hearings very disturbed and visibly shaken (Feinstein was one). Time may tell. Maybe.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Well, you know they keep making public more video footage from January 6th

These idiots filmed themselves and each other breaking and entering, doing untold amounts of damage and engaging in some horrible acts, especially towards Capitol Police. And what we've seen is disturbing enough, so I can't imagine what the committee has seen that we haven't.

[Evolve Dammit]

17. good point

[onecaliberal]

12. I'm asking that question about so many things they said they would do.

I know there is obstruction but I can’t see anything happening. I know there are investigations.
People that went to the capitol on Jan 6th with the intention of preventing the peaceful transfer of power, after a fair election with historical turnout are getting a slap on the wrist.
All of the things I figured would happen with an independent Justice Department are not really happening. Whatever happened to election tampering with the phone call between Trump and republican sos in Georgia? It’s one gigantic steaming pile.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. There is already evidence that members of Congress were complicit

Members have said that staff were disturbed about "tour groups" in areas where the public isn't allowed. This is what they need to find out, not to mention the involvement of TFG.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. I wonder if "the real owners" and their "Big Club" as Carlin put it simply pull the strings to keep

us in the dark intentionally and for as long as they want to. If they feel a threat, it is immediately quashed and buried. JFK RFK MLK and all the CIA NSA crap we will never know about. And I am not a conspiracy person, but there is a shitload we don't know. I met some military IT people at a conference and they literally said, "You think you're free? You ain't free." "If you knew the truth you'd dig a hole and crawl in."
