"SNIP.......

Donald Trump’s inner circle suspects that former chief of staff Mark Meadows is cooperating with federal investigators in the various cases against Trump, Rolling Stone reports.

Meadows himself has stayed mostly silent, cutting off contact with the former president after initially sticking by him following his 2020 election loss.

Yep I know the word “Rat” is often used but let’s all have a BIGGER heart and call Meadows something that doesn’t disparage our animal friends.

Rats are known to be of huge intelligence.

He cut a deal with Jack Smith to plead to several smaller charges in exchange for his testimony. It was all over the news. And they just SUSPECT he's the rat? Not real bright. I knew Meadows flipped on him WEEKS ago.
