question has been asked and answered about six times now.
Mr. Schiff. Well, then—
The Witness. If I had a transcript, I could count them.
Mr. Schiff. Then do you abject to our asking you questions today about January 6th?
The Witness. We've already answered that question. We think—
Mr. Schiff. So then you're refusing to answer questions today. Just want to establish a very clean record. You're refusing to answer any questions today about January 6th?
The Witness. We think that you need to have a dialogue with Mr. MacDougald about that before that proceeds.
Mr. Schiff. So—
Mr. MacDougald. You can take that up if the scope is narrowed. But, as we sit, the scope is not narrowed.
Mr. Schiff. Well, counsel, this would be an opportunity for you to narrow the scope and answer questions—
Mr. MacDougald. It's not for me to narrow the scope.
Mr. Schiff. Answer questions that you believe are within the scope and refuse, and then we can decide what repercussion from that refusal. But, today, you are refusing to answer any questions whether they're within your perceived idea of the scope of the committee or not. Is that correct?
Mr. MacDougald. We have asserted our position that we're not answering questions today. We've invited the committee to engage in a dialogue with us about narrowing the scope. That invitation remains open.
Mr. Schiff. Well—
