Seems appropriate that a ppt deck is used to bring down the US.

Uh-oh. Shades of the GW Bush Word doc, prepare for proof to come out that the guy never met with Meadows, followed by your Republican friends forever declaring the entire January 6 uprising a hoax :frowning:

According to the Post, Waldron said that he contributed claims of foreign interference in the vote to the presentation, and brought up those same claims during his discussions with the White House.

Where are the claims? Obviously, they weren’t credible enough to convince anyone. And he sounds absolutely unapologetic. What a nutcase. What a fine representative of the US Army.

Ugh.

I am firewalled from WaPo. Is it in their post, what evidence he was claiming PROVED foreign interference (if this is the goddam CHINESE BAMBOO that is all over ‘some’ mail-in votes I will scream to the heavens) and I woud appreciate knowing what this man’s expertise is in the realm of ‘intelligence.’

Waldron recalled Meadows indicating that he would pass the list on to then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, but was unsure whether Meadows followed through on delivering it, according to the Post. A spokesman for Ratcliffe denied receiving the document to the Post.

But if nothing is true, how can claims that the election was stolen be true?

OK…I’m confused. So there IS a PP circulating however Meadows was just the ‘receiver’ of the presentation? We’ve got Larry Sabato calling BS on this…or is it just the Meadows WROTE it? The rest is ‘true’ ad why did this Army Colonel come forward a year later?

It’s brought down many a project and company, so why not (especially if the old mantra of ‘the country needs to be run like a business’ is in place)?
