'Bring it': Jan. 6 committee Republican threatens to tell all if Trump prosecutes him

Raw Story  

A former Republican lawmaker who has been thought by some to be a target of Donald Trump has two words for the president elect: "Bring it." Former "Tea Party" Republican Rep.

On Saturday, he appeared on MSNBC, where he was asked about Trump telling NBC News that Jan. 6 committee members should go to jail. There are people who I think might get a conditional pardon but as for people like me, the senior technical advisor and the person who looked at all the data, it might get to me but there are other people who should be more worried."
