Garland sure knows how to keep people guessing.

(15,568 posts)Delaying Meadows indictment is the smart strategic move:
https://www.emptywheel.net/2022/02/07/why-to-delay-a-mark-meadows-indictment-bannon-is-using-his-contempt-prosecution-to-monitor-the-ongoing-january-6-investigation/
If Meadows was indicted now for contempt, he could use the discovery process to get information for himself and other defendants about other potential charges, as Bannon is doing (but Meadows, as WH COS, has far more exposure, and much more evidence subject to discovery).
Delaying indictment for contempt when, in all likelihood, Meadows will eventually receive a superseding, more serious felony indictment, is a very smart move on Garlands/DOJs part.
That requires no guesswork at all.
