Donald Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows has been subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating the former president and his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s office is seeking documents and testimony related to January 6, and Meadows received the subpoena sometime in January, the source said. An attorney for Meadows declined to comment.

The Justice Department did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on the subpoena.

The move to subpoena one of Trump’s most senior aides – in addition to the recent subpoena of former Vice President Mike Pence, as CNN reported last week – marks the latest significant step in the special counsel’s investigation into Trump’s role in seeking to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.

3. Was that meeting on the golf course designed to sow confusion?

Seems to me confusion's all they got left, and that is a risky wager

6. If everybody tells a different tale

good luck to prosecutors trying to sort it out.

5. When did Meadows' name become Matt Gaetz.

Get back to me when Gaetz gets subpoenaed.

[Fiendish Thingy]

9. You think Gaetz is a more important J6 witness than Meadows?

Get back to me when you’re better informed.

[agingdem]

11. thank you...

I think Meadows is more important than Pence...Meadows was the coup conduit..

[Joinfortmill]

20. Coup Conduit. Love that.

12. That wasn't the point, right?

The point is the inability to make potential crimes actually stick, to anyone, even pedophiles for trafficking.

Not that hard to figure out what the poster meant.

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. Duolingo doesn't offer courses in gibberish or word salad

So it was hard to decipher what that poster’s actual point was.

As far as your point- it is indeed a tragedy that the only witnesses (in particular, Greenberg) to Gaetz’ alleged crimes had previously falsely claimed that other co-conspirators involved in their past crimes had also engaged in child trafficking.

How do you think that would unfold on the witness stand?

[TeamProg]

18. The prosecution decided not to charge Matt gates due to

The credibility of the witnesses.


The witnesses were either criminals themselves or victims, whose stories were questionable.

Remember?

13. WTH are you going on about? The OP I responded to was about Gaetz...

not Meadows. There are quite a few issues going on but the Gaetz and Meadows ones are not the same thing.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. Scroll up to the top of the page and reread the OP

It’s about Meadows, not Gaetz.

I think you’re confused.

[brush]

16. OK, confused one. Below is what's at the top of the post I responded to.

" I learn something new every time I watch her show.

I learned a lot today about DOJ not indicting Matt Gaetz. The presiding judge said that in his 22 years on the bench no one has given up more information than Joel Greenberg. Also, if it was too tough to indict Gaetz for sex trafficking there were several other crimes he could have been indicted for. Also, Nicolle asked the question, why did Gaetz ask for a pardon? Matt Gaetz thought he was guilty."

Also see post 12 on the thread. It's not rocket science.

8. Mark Meadows? Phew! Small fish. Low hanging fruit.

I will believe it when I see Mike Pence subpoenaed!

Oh wait...

23. Andrew Weisman-DOJ policy suggests that Mark Meadows means he is not a target of grand jury

25. Maybe not at this particular moment

But if he lies during his sworn testimony, which Jack Smith will know right away, he certainly will become one. And if he doesn't lie, Trump will become one.

Smith is cornering Meadows: it is either Meadows' ass or Trump's. The testimony will determine which one it is, and on what charges.

[Ford_Prefect]

24. No executive privilege for Mark.

[Bayard]

26. Place your bets

Who will take the deal and flip on trump, Meadows or Pence?

I'm thinking Meadows. Pence still thinks he'll run for office.
