Meadows and Cipollone probably have a week or so to make a decision?

[kentuck]

Do they go in and answer questions for the Committee or do they wait for their subpoena from the Grand Jury and the OIG?

After all, if they are not hesitant about search warrants and subpoenas from the OIG and the Grand Jury, then they may want to talk to Jeffrey Clark and John Eastman.

Since the Committee will probably be off for a couple of weeks, they may have blown their chance to talk to the Committee?

There is still a lot of evidence to uncover.

1. If I were Meadows, I'd be at DOJ-- trying to cut a deal.

Cipollone probably doesn't have criminal exposure-- surely he was a savvy enough attorney to make sure of that-- but he is going to have to end up testifying to the committee at least. If he refuses a subpoena, he could then be in legal trouble.

Notice that the aides who tried in whatever way to stop Trump were lower-level-- Hutchison, the ss agents, the counsels.

Only really Pence and maybe the acting AG among the VIPs did much to stop this.

Meadows seems to have gone kind of catatonic, in fact.

Something that came up with all this talk of pardons-- I bet he "pocket pardoned" Meadows and Rudy and others. Pocket pardons have never been a thing (and can't be legal?), but I can see him doing that to keep them quiet. And he can still hold it over them now. Maybe that's why they haven't been indicted, because they've told the DOJ they have a pardon?

3. Meadows has always been a weasel. I want his face to be firmly placed and deeply rubbed

Into all of the sh!t he's guilty of. He's a disgrace.

[viva la]

4. I remember someone who knew him in Congress said he cried a lot

I'm kinda hankering to see ol' Marky weeping his face off soon.

5. He did it several times. Remember when he got on his knees to beg forgiveness from Speaker Boehner?

He's spineless and despicable. He's what my grandmother would call a puke. It's a southern expression and it's not a compliment.

2. I think the chair offered anyone willing, the opportunity to search again for the presence of

Balls and reconsider their current stance on the matter. What doesn't exist is difficult to detect. I'm only hopeful that they continue to make the biggest mistakes of their lives and "stay the course" to coin a phrase.
