off the tong go ahead uh over the weekend uh Donald Trump said in an interview that members of the January 6 select committee like Senator ship sh should go to jail your reaction to that and should President Biden consider preemptive pardons for anyone Trump may go after look the bottom line is we all know that Senator Schiff did a very very good job on the hearings he broke no laws.

whatsoever and uh the truth stands for itself yes the ndaa came out of the rules committee with a number of prif Provisions conscious protection provisions Democrats have said in the past that these are poison pills what are you going to do we’re going to wait and see what the house does first how long do you want a CR to go until in fact pass CR next week well um look it was no secret that on this side most of us wanted an Omnibus.

uh we didn’t the house uh speaker insisted he couldn’t do an Omnibus given his situation in the house and so we’re trying to get it got uh the CR to go as long as possible I think it’ll land somewhere in the middle of March how do you see the path to getting a government funding deal in the first 100 days of Donald Trump.

what’s going to be different and can we get a senator Chef’s response his question well the bottom line is very simple and that is that we Democrats are going to uh try to work with the Republicans when we can in a bipartisan way but we’re going to stand by our principles and we’re not going to let crucial programs uh be decimated we’re going to do everything we can to stop that from happening Senator shiff go ahead I I don’t think the incoming President should be threatening his political opponents with jail time uh that’s not the kind of talk we should hear from a president in a democracy uh nor do I think uh that a pardon is necessary for the members of the January 6 committee um we’re proud of the work we did on that committee it was a fundamental oversight obligation to investigate the first attempt to interfere with a peaceful transfer of power in our history uh many of you were here in this building uh during that violent attack uh and we’re proud of the work we did to expose what went into that uh once in history effort to interfere with the transition of power he did a great job and that’ll stand for itself thank you everybody com on.
