52. Oh ye of little faith. Dems have

the WH, Congress, and a new AG. I have faith in the committee and its commitment to get to the bottom of this. I have faith in their determination to hold people accountable and their willingness to enforce subpoenas with the constitutionally legal tools that they have - arrest, imprisonment, and fines. These committee members were there on Jan 6. They feared for their lives. They have the deep commitment of empowered former victims.
