Last night, Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA02) talked to Rachel Maddow about the reported disabling of the Russian ship “Moskva,” as well as the work of the 1/6/21 committee. According to Rep. Luria:
- “I think the impact of it, either way…is going to have huge impacts for Russia’s ability to control its forces, the other ships that it has within the Black Sea…These things appear to continue to disable and remove some of Russia’s ability to continue this onslaught against Ukraine…It would be…encouraging to know that they’ve lost this capability.”
- On the 1/6 committee: “There are some people who are close…to the former president…think they’re above the law…but the truth is, we’re getting a massive amount of information and facts from those who are cooperating.”
- “I think that the committee is getting the information we need to paint a very thorough picture of everything that led up to January 6, that happened on that day…to provide recommendations so something like this – an attempted coup, an insurrection – can never happen again in the future.”
- “The purpose of this investigation is to truly share this information with the public so everyone can understand all the events that transpired, the dangers they pose for the future. And we are still aiming toward potentially late May, early June as the time frame we’re looking at to begin those hearings.”
Those who have come forward to the @January6thCmte committee have chosen to do the right thing by showing up, speaking to Congress, and providing information.
There is no one above the law, and we continue to gather information and facts about the events of January 6th. pic.twitter.com/Kj6oUuXT6x
