As a prosecutor, here's the difference. These crimes happened in front of our very eyes.

Watergate happened in the secrecy of the Oval Office. It was only a year later when we found out about tapes and then eventually obtained the tapes, that we knew that there was planning in the White House.

We know it now. We've heard conversations in Georgia where the president tried to stop the counting

and get a fraudulent vote declared.

This is happening in front of our very eyes,

and that's why people are so insistent on a quicker outcome than we had.

It was fast during Watergate, but not as fast as we need in this time.

This is an existential threat to our democracy and that we must resolve it before this Congress ends its term.

Because if in the horrible possibility that the Democrats lose control,

this investigation will be shut down.

And one of the other things that was so important in Watergate

was the Senate hearings that were in public.

It brought people into the picture. Viewers could see it

happening. They got to understand the crimes that were committed and what the evidence actually was.

So I think one of the most important things is for the committee, the January 6th committee,

to start public hearings where people will be able

to see what the evidence is.

And that maybe even those Republicans who are on the edge may come along to see that violence

is not the answer ever.
