Meadows might miss out on immunity, but could still have a shot at a plea deal. Anyone who pleads guilty to a federal crime typically gets a lower sentence than someone who goes to trial.

At this point, it seems that Meadows and the rest of the subpoena deniers think they can skate without any criminal charges other than contempt if they just continue to stonewall.

With the release of the power point and other documents, I think we are seeing that enough evidence exists for likely criminal referrals to DOJ. The names of the congress people Meadows was texting are due to be released soon, and they may also be candidates for flipping on the coup architects.

I think Pence’s COS Marc Short will be a key witness- I would think he was completely in the loop information-wise, but not necessarily coup-wise, as he served Pence, not Trump.
