“Those witnesses aren’t here, Mr. Chairman,” Jordan responded before the committee devolved into verbal squabbling. “We eviscerated the very process here that would ... protect the integrity of this hearing, to elicit the truth,” Lynch said. “At 1 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal. We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections,”Under questioning from Wasserman-Schultz, Sauer acknowledged he had attended RAGA meetings.
