Meadows, Patel Have 'Engaged' With Jan. 6 Probe, Committee Member Says - All In - MSNBC



“Mr. Meadows and Mr. Patel have engaged with the committee, so we have had conversations with their counsel,” says Jan. 6 committee member Rep. Pete Aguilar. “Nobody is openly defying a subpoena like Bannon, and that’s why it’s forcing this unprecedented step of the full House vote.” Aired on 10/20/2021.

You know, acting like they are cooperating with the investigation, but in actuality fully collaborating with the traitors.

My question for Patel would be if there were efforts to move military assets in preparation of Trump implementing the Insurrection Act, since it is likely there would have been widespread resistance had the Republicans been successful on Jan 6th.

But would the military have cooperated in committing treason? It's not like TFG supported/protected our military. There was his refusal to honor our military dead at the D-Day commemoration ceremony in France - let alone his ignoring the intelligence that Russia offered Afghan militants bounties to kill U.S. troops...

That they were hearing about things Trump was doing/planning to do from colleagues still in the chain of command.

Lets be honest - there are plenty of MAGATS in the military.

And of course you're right. These days, those in the military choose to be there, there's no longer a draft.
