Well, Look Who Just Got Dragged Into Trump's Criminal Nightmare

[Jilly_in_VA]

Mark Meadows just got pulled into former President Donald Trump’s legal drama in Georgia.

Meadows, Trump’s final White House chief of staff, is being summoned to testify next month in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ criminal investigation into Trump allies’ attempts to flip the 2020 election.

Willis also wants to hear from pro-Trump “Kraken” lawyer Sidney Powell, Meadows contact Army Col. James “Phil” Waldron, and former Trump campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn, according to court filings released Thursday afternoon.

The attempt to compel testimony from some of Trump’s closest advisers is further evidence that Willis’ probe is looking in every corner of Trumpworld in a strikingly thorough investigation, legal experts said. Willis’ filing describes Meadows as a “material witness” to her investigation.

“The subpoena [for Meadows] tells us that the DA may be closing in on Trump and other big fish in this scandal,” Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond School of Law, told VICE News.

Meadows participated in the infamous phone call that Trump held with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021 in which Trump told Raffensperger he wanted to “find” enough votes to allow him to carry Georgia. President Joe Biden won Georgia by a wafer-thin margin of 11,779 votes.

I keep saying it--Fani Willis don't play!

[dchill]

1. So, Mark, can I call you Mark? Listen, buddy...

...I really don't think she's bluffing!

[Joinfortmill]

15. LOL

[calimary]

27. Nope. She's as serious as an undertaker.

[PCIntern]

2. It's always "wafer-thin" when Dems win:

“A clear and convincing win” if Rethugs do, or the margin of victory, if it could be described as “wafer-thin” is ignored and not spoken of.

[allegorical oracle]

12. There was only one "wafer thin" election that I can recall. It occurred in 2000 when Al Gore lost

Florida by 537 votes and a ballot recount was stopped by the SCOTUS (after Fla's Supreme Court ordered it to continue). So Gore didn't "lose" -- the election was nullified. Often wonder what in Gawd's name DJT would've done if THAT had happened to him.

[Meadowoak]

36. And when they actually counted all the votes, Al Gore had won

By 1million votes, but W was already sworn in and about 1 year into his 1st term.

[triron]

38. Popular votes? Entire US?

[Meadowoak]

39. Both, if the USSC hadn't gotten involved, Florida would gone

To Al Gore by over a million votes. I believe it was the Miami Herald newspaper that finished the count. Bush and Gore were tied at 269 electoral votes. With 270 needed to win.

[carpetbagger]

40. I thought the Herald said Bush would have narrowly won the recount under most standards.

[Meadowoak]

41. That article was dated April 3, 2001. It was almost a year later

They found more uncounted votes. At final count, Al Gore had won by roughly 1 million votes.

[questionseverything]

42. It was in the overvotes

Especially in black precincts, they would fill in the bubble by gore’s name and then also write in his name on the write in line

The machines didn’t record those votes but a full hand count would discover the voters intent

[whopis01]

47. That's quite an exaggeration or a misstatement.

“Florida would gone To Al Gore by over a million votes”

There were less than 6 million votes cast in Florida in 2000. No recount was ever going to find that Gore won by over a million in Florida.

[OMGWTF]

23. Biden beat Traitor Tot by the exact same number of Electoral College votes

that TT beat Hillary with, yet his "win" was a blow-out and Biden's was barely there.

[PCIntern]

29. Ex-actly!!!

[CentralMass]

3. When are they going to get thst weasel Lindsey Graham to show ?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

5. Did Rudy show yet?

[mtngirl47]

8. Yes, he testified for up to 6 hours

On 8/17/22. Trump should be scared

[Hassin Bin Sober]

30. Thanks!

[soldierant]

44. 6 hours of mostly Fifth Amendment, was it?

[H2O Man]

4. Recommended.

Fani Willis has a background in RICO cases. I think that is important to keep in mind. I know that those attempting to resist testifying are aware of it.

[mjvpi]

11. Thanks for pointing that out. Will have to read more about her.

DA Willis is my sentimental favorite to scour through the Teflon. A woman of color. Pure Karma.

[H2O Man]

13. When I was young,

listening to Arlo Guthrie's introduction to "The Pause of Mr. Claus" was a giggle. He talked about "the last guy." In my humble opinion, DA Willis is the last human being that Trump & Co want investigating their effort to overturn the election.

[mountain grammy]

22. Love it!

That Santa 🎅. He’s a Commie 🤣🤣🤣

[70sEraVet]

24. Thanks. I always liked the airplane story.

[burrowowl]

48. Love it!

[Joinfortmill]

16. A thing of beauty, isn't it?

[Eyeball_Kid]

34. And the DOJ ALSO has background in RICO cases.

And my guess is that they're writing drafts right now to include most of the Trump White House staff as co-conspirators in the looting of the US government of national security documents.

Oh, yeah. Some of the staffers OBJECTED to Trump's thefts. But they said NOTHING to the DOJ about it. Thus, they were complacent enablers/co-conspirators. They are REQUIRED to report crimes to the DOJ. They took an oath to do so. Yet they sat by while Trump stole documents. They watched him do it, and some even helped him with the thefts.

[malaise]

6. Let's mow the Meadows

😀😀

[Joinfortmill]

17. LOL

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. There be weeds and ticks!

[Stuart G]

7. More to come...Just the 2nd Act in a 4 Act Play..!!!

[Joinfortmill]

18. Yup, more shockers on the way. Hang on.

[calimary]

25. And who sings next?

And I’m not talking about the proverbial “fat lady.”

[jmbar2]

9. Fani Willis should be nominated for the Supreme Court after this

She is doing more to protect democracy than just about anyone else in the US right now.

[Traildogbob]

20. "What chu talkin bout Willis"

Justice, that’s what. Justice, law and order, and consequences. F**k around, find out!
Lindsey, get off the damn couch, put down the pearls and get your ass in my court. Everything trump touches….and his prints are all over you. The coat tail ride is taking you where trump is going. Shoulda jumped off.

[gab13by13]

10. Go get em Fani,

I think Jenna Ellis already testified.

I'm hoping that Fani goes by the rule, if you're not on the ballot you must come on down to the grand jury.

[Joinfortmill]

14. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

[Stuart G]

19. You just saved...."The Best For Last"...Thank You

[Eliot Rosewater]

21. Meadows Giuliani Graham etal are just waiting

For the Nazi party, the former republican party, to take over the House so they can bombard the department of justice with God knows what and somehow interfere with Georgia, maybe someone here who knows the law can explain it but that’s what they’re waiting for.

Sick.

[Eyeball_Kid]

35. They shouldn't be holding their collective breath.

They likely won't get a House majority. Not now. They're trying to buck the Roe-Dobbs decision, the J6C's business, and the coming indictments-- all of it spells defeat for the GOP.

[elleng]

28. Fani Willis is a s/hero!!!

[Warpy]

31. Meadows has been in the middle of everything

to the point I often think he's being set up as the fall guy.

I also think it's not going to work, not this time.

[czarjak]

32. Marc Short too. He's a guilty little rat-fucker if anyone ever was and there was was there!

[agingdem]

33. Meadows was the go-to guy for

all-things election tampering and failed coup...I'm thinking he and the DOJ have had multiple sit-downs re: coup co-conspirator (sedition, insurrection)...but Meadow's foray into election tampering, that's a different kind of felony..

My prediction: it just a matter of time before the DOJ ties Meadows to the Trump's document grab...he was, after all, Trump's chief of staff and more than likely "helped" with the packing up

[Evolve Dammit]

37. May Fani fry his ass with searing flame. Legally or otherewise..

[calimary]

43. Enjoy the ride, Mark.

You paid for it. Bigtime.

[Better Days Ahoy]

45. Maybe she can find that $5000 bottle of booze

That Meadows stole, too. I wonder what foreign g(r)ifts Markie Boy has hidden at home.

[Skittles]

46. FUCK HIM

FUCK EVERYONE WHO COLLABORATED WITH THAT TRAITOR
