NEW More Meadows texts: A Plot To Overturn An American Election (Talking Points Memo)

12. It is. And they are. Because as the reps of The People they're supposed to make all of it public.

But we don't know if the Committee has these texts. If they did, I doubt they would be the leakers. Some other third party has done this, and probably not in good faith.

Regardless, when the public evidence comes out that the Jan 6 Committee does have, it's registered in the court of public opinion. And when their criminal referrals go to the DOJ, the Jan 6 Committee's evidence becomes legal evidence used to prosecute for justice. There's no contradiction in how the evidence is used per branch of government.

But if these are leaks of info they don't have, then the DOJ won't want this to be politicized and/or undermine its credibility. Meadows is the only holdout for a reason. As with the Jan 6 Committee, we've yet to know what the DOJ has on him.

During the hearings, however, the naming of names without presenting all the evidence was probably the committee's decision to not open themselves up to defamation suits, and leave their colleagues to be appropriately dealt with by the DOJ. Once it's in DOJ hands, no such claims or suits can be brought.

Which is why their only recourse right now is vengeful investigations and impeachment. They think they've got evidence, once in the majority, but they've really got nothing but the same kinds of empty, failed claims they brought to 60+ courts and circuits over 2020 election results. Their congressional activity is going to be a shitshow.
