This AMA is a “free-for-all,” meaning you can ask any question, on any subject, and I’ll answer it as honestly as I can. Feel free to test this axiom by asking non-political questions that you think I won’t be willing to answer.
Use the comment section below to submit your questions. I’ll get to as many questions as I can before my fingers give out. I’ll let everyone know—in an update to this post—when that happens.
UPDATE (7:15PM ET): Okay, I think that’s it for now! We’ve gone 75 minutes, and my fingers are starting to hurt (I type with two fingers—as some of you may know—but just extremely fast). I hope to do this again soon! 45 days was too long a hiatus, I think.
Okay, I've updated the post above (see the bolded text). Thanks so much to everyone for the questions!
On March 24, the Times reported that the Capitol Police "had opened an investigation into whether members of Congress inappropriately gave visitors access to the Capitol" in the days before the insurrection "after several lawmakers raised concerns that their own colleagues might have allowed members of a pro-Trump mob inside". Do you know anything about this investigation, wouldn't the existence of numerous security cameras make this a fairly easy thing to investigate, and do you think anything will come of it?
