we're going to have to wait a little bit longer for klay thompson to return to the warriors.ld play in a game is december 28th now against nuggets at chase center, and that 28th date would be the best-case scenario. mid january is more likely for return. thompson hasn't played in a nba game for over two years after tearing his acl and then achilles tendon. >> we can't wait to get him back. >>> brady tenell hopes to return to the olympic games with a fairy tale ending. >> reporter: when asked what does it mean to make the olympics, she said everything. >> she was absolutely brilliant. >> i'm brady tanell, i'm a figure skater and i'm from chicago. >> perfectly clean. >> my mom has been my rock. she's been my biggest supporter throughout my entire life. she often works two jobs to support my brothers and i. i kind of call her like my super hero, because who matter what she had going on with herself, she always put us first. i feel so lucky that i had a mom like that. >> what a performance for brady tanell. >> as a kid, my hair was down to about here. >> how old were you the firs

i want to get out of here so you talk to bennie thompson and liz cheney. go. >> thank you. tonight mark meadows became the second white house chief of staff in history to be accused of a crime. before mark meadows, the first and only white house chief of staff accused of a crime was also a republican. in 1974 president nixon's criminal chief of staff bob haldeman, was charged with conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. he was convicted and sentenced to federal prison. mark meadows was a years old during the first criminal prosecution of a white house chief of staff. so mark meadows learned nothing from the example of bob haldeman. and so tonight a second republican white house chief of staff stands accused of a crime. >> mark meadows has committed a crime, in this case a premeditated one. he thought carefully about his actions and actively chose to stonewall, which you can clearly see in his back and forth with the select committee. >> the house select committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capitol agreed tonight that mark meadows committed the crime

thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize the life and legacy of pat dock erty, a pillar -- dockerty, a pillar of the community. he was a mentor to many, a friend to all, and a champion to our community. sadly, pat passed away on november 7, at the age of 75. while his absence have been felt by friends, family, and loved ones, the outpouring of antidotes and stories of those who have known pat over the years is illustrated as a life well lived. pat first arrived in state college in the 1960's during his first year at penn state university. he was a two-time graduate of the university with a bachelor's and master's degree in civil engineering. pat, like many students, worked an offcampus job. pat's place of employment was the historic inn turned restaurant called the tavern. it would only be a few years later pat would return to the tavern, this time as its owner. for the next 40 years, pat welcomed students, staff, and the penn state nation and visitors of all kind to his restaurant. always

based on what liz cheney has said, thompson has said, and just the evidence.big, big difference between that and whether the department of justice will go there. that's going to be a royal headache for merrick garland, but the committee, i think, is really flexing its muscles and showing it's not afraid to go to the upper echelon of things that has to include trump and if the evidence is, and we already saw all the texts to meadows and the like that seemed to be ginning it up, trying to put pressure on pence, if that's where the evidence is, a referral would, i think, be very much in line with what they've done to date, and it's easy enough for them to do the referral, right, alisyn? then it gets dumped on to the lap of doj, and it becomes merrick garland's problem and not a small one. >> yeah. >> but i think that's the noises they're making. >> okay, that leads me to my next question. wasn't it interesting, harry, to hear these two trump-appointed attorneys on tuesday reject the arguments of the capitol rioters who were saying, we're the same as the people wh
