Mark Meadows will stop cooperating with Jan. 6 panel, attorney says

Source: Axios

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows will no longer cooperate with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, his attorney told Fox News Tuesday.

Why it matters: Meadows, who failed to appear before the panel last month, is believed to have insight into former President Trump's role in efforts to stop the certification of President Biden's election win.

Last week, the committee and Meadows' attorney, George Terwilliger, said the parties had reached an understanding on how to exchange information.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

If someone near the top would be indicted, convicted and go to prison, I might find a little hope.

They do not want to get to the bottom of it because they're guilty as sin. This here is a game of dashed expectations.

And they are traitors, every last one of them.

and they really ARE going to prosecute (successfully) any (ex President) Senators, Congress People, even down to local levels and IF any are convicted, then those will be ineligible to run for office regardless of gerrymandering or appointments by Fascist Governors. What a thing that would be after the primaries next year or in 2024!

If the Fascists were smart (sorry!) they would dump those that they know would be compromised and start with new blood to avoid a rout.

I hope that would happen, but then again, I always believed in Santa Claus.

Laws mean nothing to the connected. We're just realizing what the rest of America has been saying all along. There are at least two justice systems. One that you and I have to abide by and another for the true criminals, the politically connected.

FUCK!!!!!

I'm starting to think that one of their angles is to refuse to cooperate, so when the J6 Committee actually starts enforcing the subpoenas, they can start acting like it's some sort of dictatorial, authoritarian overreach.

And use that to raise more money.

If he's still worried about more coming out. Probably poor sales anyway.

He's seeing that Bannon hasn't been locked up, so what the hell.
