Newsweek: Mark Meadows Flipping on Donald Trump Is 'Game Over'--Legal Expert

(This is all speculation @ this point but Jack Smith flat out "has the goods" on Meadows.
Meadows has to be asking himself now if he wants to die in prison for Trump. Look @ the
time Elmer Rhodes just got and the time Trump Lawyer John Eastmen will most likely get.
See story @ the bottom of my post. Meadows was burning his papers right after a meeting
with a 2020 election outcome doubter Scott Perry and the FBI took Perry's phone.)


Donald Trump would be in serious legal trouble if speculation that his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, is co-operating with Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation turned out to be correct, a legal expert has said.

Former Defense Department special counsel Ryan Goodman was reacting to a CNN report on how Meadows is continuing to work his influence in Washington D.C., including by advising GOP lawmakers on the ongoing debt-ceiling negotiation.

The report adds that Meadows is no longer in communication with the former president, even though he is considered a key figure in Smith's criminal probe into Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.

Meadows was with Trump on January 6 as the insurrection was unfolding and he was said to be a key figure in the post-2020 election events.

Meadows was also said to have been in direct communication with organizers of "stop the steal" protest, which took place in D.C. on January 6 in 2021, prior to the riot.

Meadows burned papers after meeting with Scott Perry, Jan. 6 panel told

The unusual move came after a meeting between then-President Donald Trump’s then-chief of staff and the Pennsylvania Republican, according to recent testimony.

Then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows burned papers in his office after meeting with a House Republican who was working to challenge the 2020 election, according to testimony the Jan. 6 select committee has heard from one of his former aides.

Cassidy Hutchinson, who worked under Meadows when he was former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, told the panel investigating the Capitol attack that she saw Meadows incinerate documents after a meeting in his office with Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). A person familiar with the testimony described it on condition of anonymity.

And Jack Smith is a lawnmower.

He and TIFG forget that Jack Smith prosecuted hardened WAR CRIMINALS at the Hague. That is BIG TIME.

Meadows and TIFG are small fish in comparison.
