Dick Durbin: “If this is worse than Watergate, as some senators have…”

“A Republican majority wants to hear hearing after hearing of what's wrong with Jack Smith and the one person they should ask that of directly, Jack Smith. They won't call before this committee. What are we waiting for? If this is worse than Watergate, as some senators have asserted, isn't it about time that we get to the primary source? Jack Smith under oath under penalty of criminal perjury or perjury if he fails to testify. I don't get it. What are they waiting for? They'd rather have the hearings than have the answers.” (03:39–03:46)
