Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans for Thursday July 21st, 2022. Today Rudy Giuliani is ordered to comply with a subpoena from the Fountain County District Attorney after failing to appear for a hearing in New York.

The Secret Service provided one text message in response to the January 6th Committee's subpoena.

Donald personally called a Wisconsin Republican to try and force the desertification of the 2020 election results and a bipartisan group of 16 senators unveils the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Act.

I'm Allison Gill and I'm Dana Goldberg.

Hi Dana, hello. Hi A.G. You are as people are listening in DC. I am and I will be in the room live tweeting the hearing tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern time from my Twitter account at Mullershey wrote.

And for those playing a quantus Camisa's it was three shirts again today for Steve Bannon. Is it the same three shirts do we know it looked like the same three shirts.

Oh gross. I know. Jane Lynch said I wonder if him going to prison is going to get him clean and sober. And I was like have you seen him it's going to take him more than getting sober to ever get clean.

Maybe you're forced to take showers. I don't know like the prisoners are complaining. But the prosecution rested today they call just two witnesses. They were like yeah he defied the subpoena. Here's the subpoena. Here's how he defied it.

And yeah that's that's pretty much the long and short of it. And then of course the defense was like aren't you in a book club and the lady is like this she's a lead counsel for the one six committee she's like yeah what do you do fiction or nonfiction she's like mostly fiction.

Do what do you talk about the book. My god. Absolutely ridiculous. I think we've all had enough of Bannon's shit so to speak. And Merrick Garland is sick of your shit take a listen to this clip.

But January says question. You have said time and time again that your approach is to move from the bottom up and to go where the evidence leads you recently people have.

And positive alternatively going about this one of them is called the hub and spoke no shan and sort of targeting people around president Trump and then considering the rioters is one one spoke and also looking at the the electric scenes and other spoke.

Can you just explain to us if there was a decision point early on in which you decided to go the way that you did why you rejected these other potential paths and and as a follow.

Have you seen anything either coming out of Fulton County in Georgia or anything have the January six committee that has moved the investigation in a new direction.

And there are a number of assumptions based into the eating question.

I'm very familiar with this former trial lawyer but there is a lot of speculation about what the Justice Department is doing what it's not doing what our theories are.

And there will continue to be that speculation that's because a central tenant of the way in which the Justice Department investigates a central tenant of the rule of law is that we do not do our investigations in public.

This is the most wide waging investigation and the most important investigation that the Justice Department has ever entered and we have done so because this this effort to up end a legitimate election transferring power from one administration to another cuts at the fundamental of American democracy.

We have to get this right and for people who are concerned as I think every American should be about protecting democracy.
