Speaker 0: I guess as a follow-up on Scott's question, you're sitting in these hearings with, prosecutors and judges at the courthouse down the street. They're increasingly expressing concerns about the upcoming transfer of power and potential danger of another January 6th. Do you share those concerns at all?
Speaker 1: I think our prosecutions have made clear what we think about people who try to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power, which is essential and fundamental element of our democracy. I quibble about whether we have 1500 or slightly less than 1500, but we have way more than 1400 now, prosecutions. We have a substantial number of convictions. I think that's shown to everybody how seriously we take an effort to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power, the last January 6th, the coming January 6th, and every January 6th after that. I wanna make clear to anybody who is thinking about interfering with that.
They can see what we've done with respect to the January 6th prosecutions, and the justice department will continue to protect our democracy.
