Is Mark Meadows the First of Many to Come?

So, he has agreed to come in and chat with the January 6 Committee. Maybe he has finally figured out that Trump is loyal to nobody, but expects everybody to be loyal to him. Trouble is, loyalty to TFG can mean jail time for those who exhibit that loyalty and refuse to cooperate with Congress.

So here's some questions for TFG:

How loyal do you think people are going to be to you if that loyalty might end up with them going to jail?
Why should anyone be loyal to you in the first place, when your history of throwing people under the bus is legendary?
How does loyalty to you benefit anyone, really?
Are you ready to go to prison yet, because loyalty is a scarce commodity when it's not reciprocated.

He's trying to find out how much he can get away with and delay as long as possible without going to prison. The attorneys arguing fg 'executive privilege' nonsense will barely be paid. That argument won't go very far.

for refusing to cooperate. I suspect we're going to see a bunch of Trumpers cave when there is a real disincentive for keeping silent.

Loyalty to Trump may not be as solid as he thinks.

Did he actually cooperated and provided useful information? Nope.

Just because he agreed to show up doesn't mean he will dish everything about Trump.....
