67. A lot of people here don't understand how this works either

Navarro was easy: he balked from Day 1, citing privilege, which he himself waived by telling all in a book and in TV interviews. THAT'S why he was indicted. HE didn't even hint at cooperating.

Meadows and Sciavino cooperated - up to a point. They didn't shove their middle finger into the J6 committee's faces from the start. Plus, no one here knows whether they are making a deal with the DOJ to flip and give up the orange motherfucker himself. That is a possibility. Wouldn't you much rather see the orange motherfucker go to prison than Meadows be indicted for contempt? I sure would.

The J6 committee is pissed off whenever anybody defies them, and justifiably so. However, all you people jumping to the worst possible conclusions need to step back and see what develops. These two won't get away scot-free. They may right now be giving up a much bigger fish. And I'd much rather see that than for them to be prosecuted right now for what is essentially a parking ticket compared to the much larger crimes all of them committed.
