joining us now, democratic congresswoman pramila jayapal of washington. chair of the congressional progressive caucus. thank you so much for joining us. do you believe these charges that we're learning the january 6 select committee is considering asking the justice department to pursue, do you believe they go far enough in your view and do you think that the justice department will actually move forward with these charges and eventually be able to prove them? >> wolf, it is good to see you. i think the january 6 committee has done a thorough job and the charges that they will ultimately refer in the report will be charged that they feel they really have the evidence to back up. i think that what they're looking at, you know, and there are a couple of different options here, obviously obstruction, conspiracy to defraud the government, these are things that are critically important and think what the committee has been focused on is really targeting the ringleaders and major actors who have so far escaped prosecution. and need to be held accountable if we
