The Georgia investigation: Trump's point man/secretary/errand boy, is a big, big, target.

[fightforfreedom]

For months I have been focused on Meadow's for good reasons. He was involved in everything. He did what ever Trump told him to do.

In late December, Meadow's made a unexpected visit to Georgia.

Meadow's trip set in motion a series of meetings, phone calls, which ended on Jan. 2nd with trump's infamous, criminal phone call to the SOS of Georgia, a recorded phone call. Meadow's kicked off Trump's phone call by introducing the 8 people involved in the call.

When Meadow's arrived in Georgia, he was barred by the office of SOS from entering the room where absentee ballots were being counted. Meadow's later pressed Georgia officials to give him access to private voter information. It was denied.

Meadow's gathered contact information form top Georgia officials. He turned that information over to Trump. The next day Trump starting calling them, pressuring them to find fraud.

Trump's infamous phone call was the last of 18 phone calls attempted to the office of the SOS.

57 minutes into Trump's phone call, Meadow's pressured the counsel for The SOS to give Trump voter data so they could investigate for fraud. Meadow's was told it's against state law. Meadow's pressured the counsel again.

Pay attention to the Georgia election. A special grand jury is being put in place this May. I have no doubt Meadow's is going to be a big target. The AG heading the investigating seems confident she can prove crimes were committed under Georgia state law. Everyone involved in Trump's infamous phone call will be subpoenaed by the grand jury.

1. Boom!

Maybe...

[calimary]

2. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be on the receiving end

of those trump phone calls.

And knowing the power he was willing to use while still occupying the Oval Office.

[gab13by13]

11. Absolutely, a very astute observation.

I was elected to borough council back in the 70's when I was a whipper snapper. My claim to fame was that I took on the mafia-like family that ran our town who wanted to strip coal on our pristine watershed and build a coal cleaning plant in a flood plain. My town is like 3,000 people and I spent many sleepless nights. A friend of mine argued at a hearing and shot down all of the coal people's data.
My friend told me that he got death threats, that they were going to kill him and his family. The coal strippers always brought a contingent of goons to the council meeting and they sat right behind me. We won, we protected our water, no coal cleaning plant, so I can imagine the pressure that Trump put on people because I got a small taste of it.

[calimary]

14. And he doesn't give up. We're STILL seeing that TODAY.

Because he won’t give up, WE CAN’T GIVE UP!!!!

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

48. Trump the POS will be a troublemaker and a thorn in America's side

until his dying day.

[calimary]

50. I think you're right, Professor.

His ego won’t let him fade into the background like all the other ex-presidents have (especially the ones who were driven by out after only one term).

He’s gotta be the center of attention everywhere. At all times. With and from everybody. My guess is it’s some deep-seated personality flaw or thereabouts. I’m no shrink but this is one SERIOUSLY screwed-up individual. I bet there’ll eventually be libraries full of books written just about the inner demons of the donald.

I’ve already said this elsewhere here: we are not going to be rid of him. Not anytime soon. First, because he simply refuses to go away, or fade away gracefully like so many other ex-presidents have (both those who didn’t make it past one term and others who did but recognized distinguished retirement status when it was their time to be escorted back out to the private sector).

He’s too much of an attention whore to fade away gracefully. He’s too prideful and has spent too much of his snakey life to accept the solid, provable reality of his own defeat. He’s spent too many decades building this facade and myth of invincibility (“I never lose”) to step to the side now, even after the most high-level, most intensely covered, and most public loss.

Nope. He HAS TO try to spin it or bend it to his wishes to keep being perceived as a life-long never-failed undefeated demigod. No matter how many lies he’s told or how many people he’s destroyed along the way.

I wish he’d retire to Mar-a-Lago and have somebody write his books for him. He won’t do that. Especially after he’s had an actual taste of it (however dubious because he cheated) and is desperately hungry for more.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

51. Good points and I agree.

Plus, he is making big-time bank off of this Big Lie B.S.

[Evolve Dammit]

57. Agree with you and the Professor

[NJCher]

60. He can't give up, either

It’s prison for him if he does and he knows it.

[Ilsa]

56. Even Gov. Kemp was discontented with Trump's harassment. nt

[Walleye]

3. I remember Arizona's Secretary of State, I think it was, rejecting a phone call from Trump

It was pretty funny because the ringtone played the first few notes of “Hail to the Chief” and he quickly I dismissed the call. That was probably pretty smart on his part

[kairos12]

6. Actually, the Guv did this.

[Walleye]

8. That's right. Thanks for the clarification. A very wise move on his part

[JustAnotherGen]

4. In D.A. Willis I trust

No joke. She's got these traitors. I'm more focused on GA than I am the 1/6 Committee

[fightforfreedom]

24. The Georgia case could be a precursor to Garlands federal investigation.

Everything is tied to the larger conspiracy.

[JustAnotherGen]

31. ITA

The second case I'm watching - is AG James (NY). Out of that - Bragg can form a criminal case.

Also - a GOP President can't pardon folks for state convictions.

I would love nothing more than to see some of Trump's inner circle in the Georgia Penal System.

[lastlib]

35. I don't care what penal system they wind up in, as long as they're in one.

I would prefer a VERY harsh one (a gulag would please me), but I'll take whatever we can get.

[JustAnotherGen]

37. Georgia's is rough

That's Aubery's one murder tried to enter a plea deal- it would have taken him out of the Georgia prison system.

[Dan]

38. There are different standards of prison care, based on the State where you are imprisoned.

Southern care, prison care is probably pretty bad.

But, maybe Trump might end up on a chain gang.

[ShazzieB]

53. Pretty sure chain gangs don't exist anymore.

But there are other forms of prison slave labor. Maybe he could make license plates.

[Dan]

55. I suspect that they do, just under a different name....

[Leghorn21]

5. Many thanks for this great summation/recap, fightfor!!

Also, I totally didn’t know about Meadows’ *major* role in this travesty — he’s a very special kind of craven sad sack, and thanks to this post, I now have a better idea of how scared and paralyzed this pitiful little scumbucket must be every second/every day, and I am LOVIN IT!!!

[NJCher]

62. how scared and paralyzed

I like to think of them as I sink into my comfy, warm, cozy bed at night. I think how nice it is that I can get up the next day and do what I want to. I don’t have to be flying around to meet with investigators whose questioning might put me in a cell with five other other people and with only an inch thick mattress in which to sleep.

The truth of the matter is that their every day and night is a living hell for them. Their hopes for an end to the threat via a Republican victory in the senate and house means little when there are looming state prosecutions.

RID. Rest in distress.

[GB_RN]

7. It's Been Pointed Out Elsewhere That Not Only Does Meadows Have Legal Exposure...

But so does "Lying Lindsey" Graham (R-Fabulous!) for his illegal phone call to Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad "I Suppress the Black Vote" Raffensperger (R-Not A Hero).

[NoMoreRepugs]

9. The amount of wood being added daily to the SlobFather's bonfire is incredible. This pursuit for

justice isn't going away UNLESS the Reputinicans can steal every branch of the government, that concerns me.

[ECL213]

10. apostrophes matter

[Glorfindel]

13. I have almost reached the point where I agree with George Bernard Shaw

"kill the apostrophe." It is pretty much always misused nowadays.

https://www.killtheapostrophe.com/

[lagomorph777]

15. It grates on me over and over in that OP.

I tried to restrain myself, but here I am, agreeing with you.

[gristy]

17. Yes

While reading, I spent most of my attention looking for an apostrophe used correctly.

[niyad]

22. Thank you!

To be fair though, some stupid spell-check programs do that. They also cannot distinguish between words such as well and we'll, I'll and ill, etc. Stupid programs.

[soldierant]

45. There are reasons why it's often called "autocorrupt."

[niyad]

47. Sadly true.

[wnylib]

59. Yes, my autocorrect makes more mistakes

than I do in my original text. Sometimes it connects two words next to each other to make a new word that is meaningless in context.

[Pinback]

26. Yes, apostrophe's do matter.

[Carlitos Brigante]

41. Oh you bastard!!!! I see what you did there.... ;-)

[L. Coyote]

28. Agreed.

The difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit matters. Fani knows her shit, and Mark Meadow, you're a shit.

CNN's Sara Murray looks at Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani T. Willis' probe investigating Donald Trump's efforts to overturn Georgia's election results.

[fightforfreedom]

33. Oh no, I have been caught. It's apostrophegate

I better lawyer up, Take the 5th.

[Escurumbele]

40. I hope you are not offended, don't lawyer up, no need to...

I don't write very well, so I am not someone who can teach anyone how to be a good writer, it was just an observation, maybe because it was used so many times that it caught the Felix Unger in us...

And as I said, it was a great post, your observations on Meadows' conduct is right on target.

[fightforfreedom]

43. I'm not offended, I did get carried away with check spelling.

Lol!

[ECL213]

64. s'hame, s'hame, s'hame

I was just making a joke. I assumed it was a spell-check error. It always insists I'm trying to say He'll, and it drives me crazy.

[Escurumbele]

39. I am glad I was not the only one bothered by the misuse of the apostrophe.

Meadows...

I felt like Felix Unger (The Odd Couple) there for a moment...

Having said all that, the post is excellent...

[fightforfreedom]

44. What's an apostrophe?

Just kidding.

[Carlitos Brigante]

42. That's the French spelling......

[gab13by13]

12. Meadows was one of the people who kept Trump's hands clean.

He was the go between.

[lagomorph777]

16. Not really - gave phone numbers to Turd, who immediately made illegal calls.

[turbinetree]

18. So Meadows you intentionally made trying to be a shake down artist for your criminal boss

to eventually use your tactic to blackmail the voters of Georgia...that kicked your boss ass down the street and elected two men to be senators....and some food for thought Meadows you and your gang should think of this law for bed time stories...here I will make it real simple.....Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)


https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/content/rico-act.html

[Manfred Arcane]

19. And there's this call to GA investigator Frances Watson...

https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/president-donald-trump-called-state-investigator-and-urged-her-to-find-fraudulent-votes

Frances Watson is not an elected official, just a GA state employee. I've long wondered how Trump even got her phone number. But now it is clear that Meadows met with Frances Watson on Dec. 22nd in GA the day before this phone call occurred.

[fightforfreedom]

23. That is correct.

All of these phone calls, meetings, will be investigated by the special grand jury. The AG in Georgia has a very good case. The evidence is documented, recorded, can be easily verified through witnesses testimony. You do not have to be Columbo to figure this case out.

[badgolfer]

21. Freedom Caucus

The Freedom Caucus was formed by Meadows, Jordan, and Gov DeSantis to stymie Obama's agenda.

I'm betting these three are major forces behind the January 6 insurrection.

[housecat]

25. All the more reason to act on his refusal to appear before the committee

[fightforfreedom]

29. Not so fast.

We don't know what Garland is up to when it comes to the contempt charge.

[housecat]

49. What do you think Garland is waiting for? Patience is not my strong suit.

[fightforfreedom]

54. Investigations like this take a long time.

Garland is very secretive and he doesn't appear on TV too often. That's testing our patience. We don't know what's going on. I feel your agony, believe me. We have no choice but to be patient.

[CaptainTruth]

27. Good analysis! Meadows is neck deep in Trump's cesspool.

[kentuck]

30. Maybe that is why Garland has not acted on Meadows yet?

He is involved in the GA case.

[fightforfreedom]

36. Could be, nobody knows.

Garland is sneaky.

[Joinfortmill]

32. Good. These criminals need to be held accountable

[Botany]

34. They also have tape of TFG telling the counsel for Georgia's Sec. of State:

TFG, "Big things are going to be happening on January 6th."

Does Fani look like she is playing around?

[empedocles]

61. TY

[Snackshack]

46. My Question...

This phone call where DT said on tape that he needed 11,780 votes happened over a year ago.... yet a grand jury cannot be empaneled until... May?

Its easy to think that several actionable items of law enforcement by several agencies are being slow walked either avoid being the 1st one to take action against DT and face the mean statements that would naturally follow or in hopes that the J6 committee does it 1st...

[Emile]

52. This is what TFG did, he had his flunkies do his dirty work. Reminds

me of a crime boss.

[nvme]

58. I am so impatient.

[OldBaldy1701E]

63. Be still my heart!

PLEASE PLEASE tell me that we will get to see that smug face on the perp walk! PLEASE!

[Baitball Blogger]

65. Turns my stomach knowing that this battle ramming process goes on at the local

and state level for the kind of things that are supported by the private business organizations.
