Hmm. Makes it sound like they’d been deleted in violation of the Presidential Records Act or something. Of course, neither Dr. Cadet Toadglans mit der Bone Spurs von Queens or his henchmen would ever do anything like that.

Most. Transparent. malAdministration. Ever. LOL

Does anyone know if there’s anything in this that’s indictable?
It’d be satisfying to see Meadows go down, a possibility that’d only be made brighter by the prospect of his flipping on Mango Mussolini.

Is this finally enough to impeach the motherfucker? Asking for @tena.

Meadows’ angle here was not to actually get the DOJ to reverse anything (it can’t), but just to create a buzz that legitimizes the idea of election fraud.

“Meadows’ efforts to undermine the 2020 presidential election results have been well-documented. He was also involved in Trump’s now infamous phone call pressing Georgia’s secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to “find” the votes to overturn Biden’s win in the state.”

If any of the Sunday morning circle smirks had even a picogram of decency, they’d treat Meadows – and every other traitor guilty of attempted America murder – as utterly radioactive.

(Of course, the smart money’s on production assistants negotiating the interviews even as we type.)

"Among the mythology seized upon in the request for further inquiry was a theory that people in Italy had used military technology and satellites to remotely switch votes for Trump to votes for President Joe Biden”

People in Italy? Satellite vote switching? The desperate grasps at the most outlandish fantasies would shame a grade school child. How dare these people call themselves adults.

On the upside, it could set the stage for a good old-fashioned butt punching®. I haven’t seen one of those in a while.

People like Meadows, pillow guy Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, and all the others who believe and are acting on Trump’s Big Lie, and especially the people conducting the Fraudit in Arizona are the perfect examples of the real "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

If they keep projecting like that we ought to demand to audit all the states the MFWWNBN won. I have grave doubts over that 74 million votes figure.

This is just complete insanity and goes along with Sidney Powell’s crazed ramblings. I am sure there is more of this that will continue to be revealed. Meadows should be banned from holding any government position anywhere.

Let us know if there’s an amusing ramp or any Nazi runes involved.

It really is extraordinary that nothing has happened yet, politically or judicially, in the aftermath of a gangster administration that incited a coup. No investigations, no arrests, no political rhetoric, no legislation, no consequences of any kind. You’d never know anything was amiss.

There have been over 500 arrests. So far.
