Shit Meadows, just go all in. There was no gallows. No one died. The Capitol suffered no damage. It was a peaceful protest.

Why half-ass your presentation?

Is Meadows asking to be a witness under oath?

ETA: If not, he can STFU.

“He didn’t delay at all, and so for them to put forth this narrative that’s not based on fact is a sad day,” Meadows said

This reminds me of the time during W’s 2004 campaign when the man at the rally broke the stick on his 3 yo daughters flag and blamed it on lefties while standing there with his daughter bawling and a glum, sad look on his face.

Fucking professional victims.

Of course the impeachment managers put forth a timeline that is supported by everybody’s memory and contemporary reporting, and Meadows has no evidence, but he appeared of Fox News so who are you going to believe?

I wish there was some way to stop the blatant lies on Fox News.

Is Meadows really this dumb or simply afraid that he may be assassinated at the behest of Trump just like former Chief Toady Pence was? Underwear poisoning is a thing, of course.

If you’re not lying you’re not talking.

Come again, Mark?

On that same day [Jan. 5], former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller issued a memo to the secretary of the Army placing some extremely unusual limits on National Guard forces for that event. It’s not a to-do list. It’s a list of thou shalt nots. A long list. A list that says guard forces can’t arrest any of the pro-Trump protesters, or search them, or even touch them. And that’s just for starters.

The full memo shows that the D.C. Guard did receive a request from D.C. government for guard presence during the Jan. 6 event. Miller responds promptly to go ahead, so long as the soldiers are given no weapons, no body armor, and no helmets. They can bring agents like pepper spray or flashbangs. They can’t share any gear with Capitol Police or Metro D.C. Police. They can’t … really do much of anything.

Meadows tells lies with such ease. That, among other things, makes him a die-hard, corrupt Trumper.

Fox News is merely responding to the demand side of the business. They have an audience that is receptive to what they are pushing. If you discovered 10 million people were clamoring to eat dog shit you’d buy 50 acres of land and a few thousands dogs and go about counting your money.

Mark Meadows has never been trustworthy. He lives in his own dishonest bubble.

He didn’t delay, he watched TV to assess the

Came in with the “Tea Party,” as I recall.

Sort of put an upper limit on my expectations!

Mark Meadows is desperately trying to stay relevant but the reality is that he was never in charge of the coup or the plot to attack Mike Pence.

Iwanka, Don Jr., Rudy Giuliani, Jared and other conspirators had taken over the operational aspects of targeting and ensuring that Mike Pence and his family were attacked at the Capitol so that he could not certify the election. Many have suggested that the Trump Family had plotted his murder because Skanky, Don Jr., Iwanka and others repeatedly targeted Pence at that rally. Jared was seen seeking funding for the coup and negotiating the quid pro quo from the Saudis and Emiratis prior to the coup.

I wish…that would truly be wonderful, but 74,000,000 people just voted for Trump. The power of long-term lying by the Republican Party, FOX network, and conservative radio. I don’t know if those who supported Trump are truly that incapable of reasoning and thinking or truly just care about themselves at the expense of everyone else and our future as a nation.
