So that's a great question.
Most people focus in on the FBI.
I'm of the argument that based on the legal framework of the legislative branch and the Capitol, the jurisdiction itself, there's a statute called 2 U.S.C.
1967B sub 1 lays out the jurisdiction of the U.S.
Capitol Police.
And they have primacy over the Capitol buildings and then by extension the Capitol grounds along with MPD.
For the FBI to have a role in the Fed's erection, if you will,
they had to have operated under the jurisdiction of the U.S.
Capitol Police.
Now, I'm not disagreeing with you that there were 274 out there.
That's what Kash Patel released out there.
But in order to get to the totality of that Fed's direction, it starts with the legislative branch.
And downstream from that, you had DHS potentially, MPD undercovers, FBI undercovers, CHSs, and then affiliates.
And so I always say that it starts with the legislative branch, which cannot be FOIAed, which cannot be
Brady requested through a judicial process because it's co-equal branch and they're going to hide behind that essentially praetorian guard of information to disclose it.
That's why I say the only solution to get to the FBI's role and the legislative branch's role and the U.S.
Capitol Police's role
and the capitol police boards role and as well as the political leadership role of the bicameral bipartisan leadership of the legislative branch is you have to look into the senior lawyers work product to be able to expose all of it and that name is tad tobias thomas aquinas tobias
And the only person that can compel that is currently the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, by ordering his House Sergeant-at-Arms, which as of January 3rd through the next year, is the Chairman of the Capitol Police Board.
That is the political solution, and I think that's the immediate response.
