on the Capitol? Does he even know her?

The line of investigation - as detailed by Cheney and admired by most of us - is to prove that Trump was behind staying in office. It was him calling governors and secretaries of states to change electors. He was the one telling Pence to not count the votes. It was Trump calling on his supporters to march to the capitol and it was him refusing to send the National Guards.

Yes, she "urged" Meadows to do something but why should Meadows listen to her? She was not his boss.
