I love it when a plan comes together. A couple of weeks ago, long before anybody else was making a peep, I warned all y’all to keep an eye on The Meadows Factor. Remember. I posited that neither Trump nor pretty much anybody around him was capable of pulling something like this together, so Meadows had to be the mastermind. And seemingly all of the important texts were going through him.
Do me a favor. Don’t get all up in Merrick Garland’s face over the delay in indicting Meadows for Contempt of Congress. After all, neither the FBI nor the DOJ makes a habit of sending a subject or target running for cover by indicting him on a nuisance charge. And right now, I find it inconceivable that Meadows isn’t one or the other.
Today’s dump of another tranche of 2000 Meadows text messages has him in dire straits. They show him in frequent text contact with GOP miscreants like Laborious MTG, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, and Jim Jordan, discussing various harebrained schemes to keep Trump in office, despite the election outcome. His replies are brutal. Things like, We’re working on that, I’ve brought it up, we’re talking about it at the highest levels, I’m on that. Considering the fact that all of the options, up to and including the imposition of martial law, that makes Meadows a co-conspirator in overturning a free and fair election.
But what really stuck with me was another set of texts that dealt with a totally separate issue. It is almost insane to see how many people texted Meadows on January 6th with one specific message. Tell Trump to cut this shit out! Everybody from Don Jr., to Reince Priebus, to Mick Mulvaney, to Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, including even little miss martial law MTG, petitioned Meadows to stop the madness. Because they all realized where the ultimate responsibility lay.
The implication is clear. Trump has spent his entire career as a micromanager. Michael Cohen said in testimony that a secretary didn’t order staples without Trump’s approval. Why would Trump run the Oval Office any differently? And more damning, Trump’s own White House Counsel, Pat Cipollone testified that he had personally told Trump that both the alternate electoral slate theory, as well as Pence refusing to certify the election, were both illegal and unconstitutional. But Trump went on anyway.
The rocks in the dam are already crumbling. Some of the information that the J6 committee has already received is from staff aides and assistants to people like Meadows and other higher ups, who were present for conversations, and told the truth. They’re not going down for His Lowness. But one can only wonder what else the committee has on tap that hasn’t been selectively leaked in court filings.
My personal feelings are that Mark Meadows is going to find himself facing multiple charges. But every time we turn around, we keep seeing more and more evidence that Trump personally was advised by legal experts that the path he was choosing was both illegal as well as unconstitutional. To my mind, that shows clear cut criminal intent. Don’t touch that dial.
Seems obvious to me that they are pressuring Meadows to get him to flip. Next stop: Trump himself. And the really fun part is how he’s far from the only member of the inner circle who is vulnerable. For instance, Roger Stone, who has at least one key underling who HAS flipped, would like to skip the virtual life sentence of ten years in prison.
Trump is the most aggressive micromanager in the history of the Oval Office

I like the way you framed your opening statement. It’s good to see that kind of stuff. Being blessed to blend his name into a charging statement. Good job! Now we just need some convictions.
The only reason Monotonous MTG freaked out was because she was terrified she might get shot. She was sure the bad guys were Antifa(,who have been cleared by the F.B.I. of involvement )and BLM (ditto) and they aren’t fond of the dingbat.
Trump, besides being a micro-manager, is probably the dumbest idiot ever elected to the Office and is definitely the most criminal.
The big fat lying, over-irradiated, dumber than a mule, twice impeached, one term resident of the oval office must be eliminated from all media sources ASAP!! That way, we can begin to collect our common senses, and our national sanity to restore our bruised and misled country!
