Rut Roh: National Archives: Meadows may not have stored all Trump-era records 'properly'

[634-5789]

Mark Meadows and the National Archives are in talks over potential records he did “not properly” turn over from his personal phone and email account, Politico reports.
Meadows, in recent legal filings, indicated he shared 6,800 pages of emails and more than 2,300 text messages with the Jan. 6 committee in an initial bid to cooperate. But members of the committee raised alarms about Meadows’ claim that some of his private records were shielded by executive privilege. If that’s the case, they said, those records should likely have been turned over to the National Archives as part of official government business.

5. When even Politico says a Republican apparatchik is in trouble

I'm guessing that the end game for Meadows is that he'll insist on an executive (closed) session of the committee, bring a bucket of yellow paint, and sing like a canary.

And then he'll find out that the security of an executive session is not as tight as he might have hoped.

6. Nothing to worry about, they're on his personal server. "But his emails!"
