12. it's complicated. He may be right that Meadows isn't a target

...there are several reasons he may have been subpoenaed at this point.

They may want testimony, they may be seeking documents he's withholding under privilege claims.

DOJ may already have him in some sort of cooperation agreement where he's unwilling to voluntarily offer up some portion of evidence claiming some privilege, and they offer him cover, or use the GJ under threat of him becoming a target to compel testimony.

Or something else...

Weissmann's blanket statement was false, though, and gives the wrong impression about the likely state of Meadows' jeopardy or cooperation with DOJ, whatever the case may be. We just have no way of knowing unless Meadows or someone associated with him reveals something in public.
