Comedian and host Bill Maher urges the attorney general to put Jan. 6 insurrectionists in jail before the midterms.
In Friday’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, the host spoke with former Sen. Doug Jones and MSNBC host Ali Velshi about the glacial pace of the investigations into the Jan. 6 insurrections at the U.S. Capitol Building, with Maher urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to act fast and imprison insurrectionists before a midterm defeat can change the political landscape.
Jones said that the Jan. 6 investigating committee’s goal is not to put people in jail or to indict former President Donald Trump, but to let people know what happened with the attacks.
