i want to play what the chairman of the house oversight committee told jake tapper yesterday. >> we just want equal treatment here with respect to how both former president trump and current president biden are being treated with the document issue. >> words like double standard being used as applied to these two situations and words like hypocrisy like kevin mccarthy uses. what is the role of congress in this since it is in the hands of two different special counsels. >> look, from a logical point of view it is hard to justify investigating just one of the document scandals but not the other. but this is congress. they are political. republicans have taken over. majority rules. i expect them to dig in. but there is one line in the sand here. doj could not answer questions about specific ongoing investigations. because if they do that, that is going to set a very dangerous precedent. so if they try to get merrick garland to testify about the specifics of other case, he needs to say absolutely not and if if lands him in contempt, so be it. >> it is good to see you, thank you. great report
