We speak with Chairman Bennie Thompson, who endured racial terrorism as he grew up in a small town in Mississippi; Rep. Jamie Raskin, who has logged 25 years as a law professor at American University to give him a deep Constitutional framing of the investigation,  and finally, former GOP Representative Adam Kinzinger, who has endured death threats as a result of joining the January 6th committee. We learn from all these legislators what it took to meet this moment in history."}
