So now let's bring in Patty Vasquez. So Patty I got to tell you this is quite an indictment.

You know before we had this indictment come out I think we were on your radio show talking

about how frustrated a lot of your

listeners were with you know the Justice Department of Merrick Garland and they

felt like they weren't doing anything at all. Oh yeah no I mean you know if you listen to my station

WCPT in Chicago I mean Jonas Bazito especially is so frustrated with

Garland and the DOJ and people feel like you know are they just gonna roll

over because you know is this their way of thinking, well, what's better if we heal? We don't cause more division. I think that's what people were starting to just go, fine, nothing's going to happen. And you had all these folks who are like, well, if it was an

insurrection, where are the charges? So this helps, certainly. I think people are feeling a little better this week.

You know, it's interesting. If you had asked me when I was interviewed on your when you

interviewed me on your show a week ago whenever it was and you said what are your
