(21,299 posts)Just maybe this is why DOJ is sitting on the Meadow's criminal referral(Day 42) maybe DOJ is going to charge Medows for more than ignoring a subpoena. Hey, I can hope.

(21,299 posts)It usually takes 8 days for similar referrals. It took 22 days for Steve Bannon's referral. There is no guarantee that DOJ will send Meadows to a grand jury, it may drop the referral.

(21,425 posts)They don't think over there that Trump's support is diminishing as much as some media are reporting. They gave his AZ rally as an example of how the fascists (and they are not afraid to use that word) are both recruiting and upping the calls for violence.

(9,090 posts)coordination. without limbaugh the unified central messaging that he was point man for is breaking up and a lot of that extremism is stimulated by the fear of that disunity and lack of leadership. and a lot of the extremists are going to lose cred as 'leaders' as these investigations ramp up and people they were influencing start to back up. i'll bet they will get more and more marginalized - and what would help that along a lot would be more exposure of russian influence in US media. we know about social media but rw radio/limbaugh has been a major putin tool too.

(32,628 posts)... but it's not likely he's ever had a conversation with Meadows' staffers. That's why Meadows clammed up, but the aide is free to do the talking. This could be a very good thing.

(13,435 posts)Whats the math on how many questions might have been asked during that period if every one was answered, after a quick lean to hear the lawyers whispers, with an on advice of counsel, I respectfully invoke my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution on the grounds that answering questions may incriminate me."
