SUMMARY: This week on Mississippi Insight, Richard Lake examines political tensions as Donald Trump calls for January 6th committee members to be indicted, potentially targeting Mississippi Congressman Benny Thompson. Analyst Eric Schmidt discusses historical uses of law enforcement against political opponents.
