Meadows is in serious trouble. We now know Garland is investigating Trumps inner circle.

The testimony of his aide today could expose more crimes committed by Meadows and others. It is fair to say Garland is investigating Meadows. Meadows knows everything. From the very beginning I have said Meadows is someone who would turn on his own mother in an attempt to save his ass.

It will be interesting to see if Meadows aide will talk about the threats she has received. Does she know what documents Meadows destroyed? Did she and her new lawyer approach the committee asking to testify in public?

Not being indicted by DoJ does not mean one is off the hook. Mark Meadows could be in very serious legal jeopardy.

We have no idea how long it has been since Garland started investigating Trump's inner circle. Meadows could have been in serious trouble months ago.

Saying Meadows is in serious trouble is not a prediction. It's stating the obvious.

I also said in the past Trumps inner circle would be investigated by Garland. That was not a prediction, It was stating the obvious.

Garland confirmed this when he said that the transcripts from the J6 committee hearings "“may contain information relevant to a criminal investigation we are conducting,” (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/justice-department-jan-6-criminal-investigation-1354929/)

Meadows being in trouble is not a prediction either. It's more like an informed opinion.

to raid Meadows home and seize phones/electronic devices...I'm sure he's scrubbed plenty, changed phones/laptops but he did send and receive calls, emails, and texts and I'm betting the J6 committee has them..

Cassidy has to know her "life" is over...she is the new Monica Lewinsky...

How many presidential dalliances have never seen the light of day? Linda Tripp spilled the beans on Monica Lewinsky. It is possible that if she didn't get involved we may never have known.

Anyway, Cassidy Hutchinson may be the new John Dean, depending on what she tells us.

It is possible she's being investigated by the DOJ and testifying in public may be part of a deal.

and Tripp more than Monica. She didn't take down a president Might have screwed his marriage up, embarrassed him publicly. Slick Willy survived relatively unscathed. Hutchinson could be important in taking down an entire insurrection. I don't see how the 2 could be compared at all.

My take on Meadows is that he knows how to cheat, and does. Like most dishonest people he spends more time being a cheat than studying how to not get caught. He is low on the intelligence scale and therefore does not interact with people that are bright enough to help him. I am an Aging DEm too---at age 76 have watched people like Meadows in business. They always screw up and can't keep their lies straight.

the Chief of Staff gig gave Meadow a seat at the big boys table..and he was going to make himself indispensable to Trump as Coup Central, the guy who mechanized Trump's coup, and pacifying the oh shit crowd terrified the plot would fail

a White House intern...as for Cassidy, her testimony was invaluable but she's still worked for Scalise, a far right asshole congressman, and Mark Meadows, the double talking chief of staff to a vengeful, depraved narcissist sociopath, and until January 6 she was ok with the filth that was Trump...separating families, babies in cages, the muslim ban, Russian interference, Ukraine coercion/extortion, sucking up to despots, downplaying a global pandemic, disappearing 300,000 covid deaths, "prescribing" Clorox as a covid cure-all, replacing career scientist with quacks, shit hole countries, abandoning global agreements/treaties, sexual assault, a racist/antisemite, 30,000 lies, refusing to concede after losing an election, orchestrating a coup, but inciting a riot, throwing dishes...a bridge too far...

I'd bet money that POS attorney Passantino was probably pulling mob shit on her like having thuggy looking fuckers follow her around or hanging out near her home. You know, the shit the mob does to intimidate witnesses in your favorite Scorsese mob flick. Thats how those dRumph assholes roll.

District 11 in NC should be Charged with attempting to end democracy, and too illiterate to have representation. Sorry to my fellow 11 libs. And if you have seen or heard Cawthorn’s replacement, from a very famous GQP speech, worth $60,000, “ The Best is Yet To Come.”
Anyone notice how easy and deliberate it is to silence a Member of GQP when they speak against them. Cawthorn’s mouth has been zipped and super glued shut. Before, his shit was all day every day. You can scream all the ignorant bull shit you want against libs with GQP support, but diss GQP🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗. I am embarrassed, but God, Guns, Dollar Stores and Meth have a strangle hold on this place. If you wonder how Dollar Store applies, Google Art Pope. Our very own Koch. He told GQP to shut down Maddie, now he is done.
