Meadows graduated with an Associates degree in business and has dabbled in a restaurant business, real estate and construction. He failed in all of them so he became a politician. He was hardly qualified to be the Chief of Staff for the POTUS, but Trump was hardly qualified to be the President or a leader of ANYTHING. They are a matched set. Both ignorant ego-maniacs whose primary “skills” are cunning and avarice. Neither are worthy of the air they breath or the space they take up. They should become cellmates someday soon.

Since when can private citizens claim executive privilege?
Plans to … became “has” …
Now the question is “next move?”

For many years, Meadows presented that as a genuine Bachelors degree … until he got called out on it …

He may still have to appear in person?

They can assert that the executive has stated he considers his interactions with that citizen while he was president and the citizen was a member of the executive branch to be privileged.
He does. Eastman isn’t very good on how the law actually works. Word class wishcaster, though.

But showing contempt for Congress and authority to please his orange daddy figure was the point for Lil Markie Mark.
Private citizens do not have executive privilege. End.
Things need to come to a crushing conclusion for the people in office / in staff positions … that supported, planned & are concealing this insurrection… the intent was to kill & kill many…

I would think so. The committee can also work with the DoJ to immunize him from prosecution and make him talk.

There is nothing “cunning” about Mark Meadows. I own spoons sharper than him.

I’d love to see him immunized and then prosecuted for the subsequent perjury.

Just finished Rucker & Leonnig’s book and Meadows certainly comes across as an all-star bootlicker and bumwiper.

Eastman is such an unrepentant contrary asshole that even if given immunity, he would probably refuse to talk. Eastman is not really employing the 5th because he fears the risks of having to implicate himself … he is doing it as a way to say F-you to the committee. He is a litigation suicide-bombing terrorist.
There will never be an admission of a truthful nature to come out of Eastman.
Eastman is a deranged zealot of many colors
- a zealot who is fixated on the idea that a powerful oligarchy of men who think like him would be the best way to operate a country …
- a zealot who stridently adheres to the idea that lying, fabricating, stealing is all acceptable in pursuit of what he deems to be the correct path to make the nation follow
- a zealot who sees no reason to have any women involved in government
- a zealot who believes that “majority rule” should be iron-fisted … from the ground up and he exclusively sees only the males of a white -fundamentalist- Christian “majority” as being worthy of “ruling” - and all other voices should be put on mute.
Eastman reflexively behaves like a child with unhinged Oppositional Defiant Disorder - he will not “read the room” - he will openly defy societal norms and standards of decency - he will intentionally express himself in ways that border on the gratuitously crude, abrasive, racist and vulgar and offensive - for the shock value - and to get attention … and simply to offend (because the bastard gets off on offending people)
Eastman loves Trump … and Trump embraced Eastman - because they both hate the fundamental “Equality … and …Freedom, Justice and Liberty for All” premises of the United States of America - and would destroy it in a heartbeat & declare dominion over the rubble - and install some “Southern Plantation / Moscow Mafia” flavored brand of oligarchy if they had the slightest opportunity.

I think all that the “metaphorical” thing ever meant is that tfg knew he was lying when he said he would go with his followers.He was always intending to send them out as cannon fodder.

I certainly don’t know, but I have to wonder if this is part and parcel of the Beltway insider world. Yes Democrats do way better things than Republicans do, but many politicians and their associates are living in a bubble of political power that is inextricably tied to the overall power structure of corporatism, including the mainstream media, as well as elite schools etc.
