I suspect they'll all throw Meadows under the bus

Not that he isn't incredibly culpable by his own actions, but I'll bet all of the top names will conspire to throw him under the bus.

Except maybe for Rudy. He may be too dumb to play along.

WHEN I said nobody high up will even be indicted let alone convicted. I so badly want to be wrong.

The one thing I am not wrong about, unfortunately, is if some high up Democrat or high profile liberal person doesn't go on MSM and RAISE HOLY HELL about the coming nightmare in Nov. we are all in trouble.

2. Day 169 since the Mark Meadows criminal referral.

Meadows is too high up to be thrown under the bus, he was relaying communications to and from Trump on 1/6. It takes effort though since they used encryption and burner phones.

5. Deals are most likely being cut right now.

The GOP knows half of their congressional members were involved in 1/6.

There is no way they are going to let the DOJ take down that many people, and there is no way the DOJ wants to take down half of the US congress.

This is how Washington DC works: when a crisis occurs, behind the scenes, quiet negotiations take place amongst the major power brokers.

Some sacrificial lambs will be offered up, promises made, deals cut.

Then the public kabuki theater takes place.

7. Yeah, and he's going to drag at least some of them under it with him.

There is no honor among thieves. They're all going to turn on each other, in order to try to save their own asses. Meadows isn't going to let himself take the fall alone. Even Jabba the Gut isn't safe.

8. I agree they'll all point to each other in order to save their own asses

But if everyone points at Meadows, who does Meadows point at?

I suppose I wouldn't mind too much if they all cut deals where they all point to the orange motherfcuker and he goes to prison. But I really want it all. I want all of those motherfuckers to rot in prison.

Fall Guy. Who will play John Dean in this 21st century remake of All the President's Men? Barr and McGahn presumably got out before they became mortally involved... maybe. They'll make important witnesses nevertheless. But who was in the thick of the plot? Meadows. He'll squeal for a deal.
