After months of back-and-forth over whether he would voluntarily share records and testimony with the congressional Jan. 6 Committee’s investigation into the Capitol attack, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows indicated Wednesday that he has decided to go back to stonewalling the committee.
I guess he heard that Hair Furor was pissed about his book, so he’s desperate to try and get back into good graces…
A question to the lawyers and other Constitutional scholars here, instead of just the criminal referral to DOJ, why isn’t the Committee asking for habeas corpus?
Sure would be interesting to see a record of Meadows’ phone calls and emails, just to see who bribed and/or threatened him to stop cooperating. The news last week was that he would cooperate, so I really have no doubt that someone got in touch to make sure that he stopped doing that. Interfering with a witness is, of course, a felony, and all of this is really a conspiracy, so they have a huge amount of exposure.
And, we’ll learn the truth eventually…Marc Short, one of Pence’s people, was in the room for most of the events and will testify, and he’s not the only one. It’s only a matter of time before people like Meadows flip, or end up in jail for contempt and under investigation for their role in the copy attempt.
The @$$hole is trying to run out the clock, when they come around to to vote on contempt he will say that will cooperate and when the time comes to testify he will again come up with a BS reason no to. The committee should takes off the gloves and hold him contempt now.
Why would he cooperate? Look at Bannon–roaming free, still raising gobs of cash and fomenting insurrection. Facing a modest fine and at most a year club fed. Meadows is probably looking at Bannon and thinking–like Bannon–he can just wait this out till the GOP gets the house. He wants in on the grift
Back to " stone braining" the comittee…there has got to be so much on the line if they come clean…nobody could be this stupid …of course,thus far the consequences for these criminals have been nil.
Whatever he said in his book isn’t testimony, and he can’t be charged with lying to congress for it. Unless it’s false and he then tells the committee, “yup, it’s real”.
As it is I refuse to spend paper money with Mnuchin’s signature on them. I take that cash to the bank and exchange it for someone else’s autograph. The tellers have come to expect it of me now. My personal boycott.
Oh yes…‘patriots’ all. Let’s ‘stonewall’ ANYTHING that might help us understand American citizens ATTACKING OUR CAPITOL and to stop it in the future. What a bunch of trash the former guy’s administration was and continues to be.
