Makes me wonder if Meadows or Pence told them in witness statements they have all the evidence they need and more from DMs in there to secure conviction.

Unsent tweets/videos etc.

Given the amount of peril he's in, it's a fair bet that Meadows has voluntarily handed over his texts and Twitter/WhatsApp DM's in an attempt to try and secure himself a better deal. He's screwed either way, because I still think he's going to do some serious prison time, deal or not.

From Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony to the House committee alone, you could see was in the absolute thick of it in the lead up to, and throughout the whole of Jan 6th and beyond. Meadows appears to have been the central hub of communications for all involved, including the Proud, Boys, the Oath Keepers, Flynn, Giuliani and the members of the Senate who voted against certifying the election results (Cruze, Hawley, Brooks, Gomhert, and others).

I have this image in my head of Musk telling Trump there's too much stuff to delete in the time he asked for.

I think even Musk knows they would have forensic auditors all over that data dump.

In a Newsmax interview aired last night Trump repeated his Big Lie that the 2020 election was rigged and he won it. After the interview Newsmax issued a disclaimer. Host Eric Bolling said "Now just a note. Newsmax has accepted the election results as legal and final".

When a right wing news station calls bullshit on Trump's lies he has nowhere to hide.

Newsmax haven't got much of a choice these days. They can't afford another law suit.

Very true. It's a kind of plausible deniability but hopefully it may also be a sign of reality dawning.

I was watching a pod cast last night that was about a year old and said that Trump’s “stolen election” fund had taken in over $500m, he’s basically using this money as a piggy bank and hence why he keeps repeating the lie. What’s also a tad scary is the fact that 60% of Republicans firmly believe Trumps lies even though in reality Biden won the popular vote by 7 million votes. 81m to 74m, so that’s approx 45 million gun toting right wing nutters ready for action. Anyone else would be in prison, but unless Biden wants a civil war he needs to tread carefully.

Absolutely the wrong way to look at it.

Biden has followed the constitution to the letter in the separation of powers clause. He has kept his nose well clear of the DoJ. In fact, I don't think he's publicly commented on the ongoing investigations, other than to acknowledge their existence. Had this situation been reversed, there is absolutely NO WAY Trump wouldn't be able to keep his nose out.

It is Trump and the Republican party who need to tread VERY carefully. Biden needs to be prepared to react accordingly in order to protect national and domestic security, but that is it. He is completely hands off, and rightly so.

Often when they ask for stuff they already have it. They ask to see if it will be handed over or if they will try to hide and therefore add obstruction of justice to the list. And in knowing this the defense hands over everything including stuff the prosecution doesn't have.

Like a snowball rolling down a hill.

Sorry thought that was exactly what I said. The GOP are an insurgency , but a bloody dangerous one. That was my point.
