He's a lying sack of shit. For years he lied about getting a college degree, then claimed it was a clerical error that reported he'd earned a BA, when he didn't even have an AA. And then there's the lying about his residence and voter registration, not to mention the crimes he's just gotten immunity for. He will be a problem witness, but will still provide useful information and also corroborate other testimony, according to Adam Schiff in an interview.

Here are some highlights and a link to Meadows Wikipedia page, just to remind folks who he is. He was neither born nor raised in NC.

"A Tea Party Republican, Meadows was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus. During his time in Congress, he was one of the most conservative Republican lawmakers and played an important part of the United States federal government shutdown of 2013. He also sought to remove John Boehner as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives...

On December 14, 2021, Meadows was held in criminal contempt of Congress[9] for refusing to cooperate with the January 6 Select Committee. He is the first White House chief of staff since the Watergate scandal and first former member of Congress to have been held in contempt of Congress.[10][11] The contempt charge was referred to the Justice Department, which declined to prosecute him.[12]

On October 26, 2022, a South Carolina circuit judge ordered Meadows to testify before a Georgia grand jury investigating Republican efforts to reverse the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. The grand jury was empaneled by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who said the inquiry is examining "the multistate, coordinated efforts to influence the results of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere."[13] On August 14, 2023, he was indicted along with 18 other people in the prosecution related to the 2020 election in Georgia; Meadows is the second White House Chief of Staff to face criminal charges, after H. R. Haldeman.[14]

I've lived in western NC for 20 years. Meadows and cawthorne were elected in my district, but I never called them my congressmen. A big part of me hates it here because of the political climate. This area is very red, 60/40, but the state overall is close to 50/50. That's how I convince myself to stay. The christian missions and questionable morals I found here inspired my DU name.
My Mission is to oppose their mission!
