Meadows says 1/6 panel has sought to publicly 'vilify' him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows accused the congressional committee investigating last year's attack on the U.S. Capitol of leaking all of the text messages he provided to the panel in what he says was an effort to vilify him publicly.

The argument was made in a filing Friday in Washington's federal court, where Meadows sued in December to invalidate subpoenas issued to him for his testimony and to Verizon for his cell phone records.

In the latest filing, lawyers for Meadows asked a judge to reject the committee's request for an expedited ruling in its favor that would force Meadows to comply with the subpoenas. The committee requested an expedited briefing schedule Wednesday after filing its motion the previous week.

The lawyers say Meadows deserves a chance through the fact-gathering process known as discovery to take depositions and gather other information relevant to questions that are in dispute, such as the committee's claims that former President Donald Trump did not actually invoke executive privilege over the items subpoenaed by the panel.

1. If the shoe fits, MARK............

[dchill]

2. He doesn't want to be vilified. He wants to be mollified.

Based on his behavior, that's not in the cards.

[leftyladyfrommo]

3. I never realized how awful he is. nt

[gratuitous]

4. Gee Mark, what part of "illegal" has you confused?

If you and your corrupt regime hadn't been breaking rules and laws right and left, there'd be nothing to "vilify" you for.

Asswipe.

[onecaliberal]

5. Criminals gonna crime. You're mad that you were caught. You thought the coup would work.

You did ALL you could to overturn a historic free and fair election.

[Faux pas]

6. Oh

boo-effing-hoo! Always the victims

[Thomas Hurt]

7. Imagine that, vilifying a villain. Stop being a corrupt and treasonous a hole.

[Thunderbeast]

8. The man has the perfect forum to clear his name.

Testify!

[bucolic_frolic]

9. So, so trodden upon. Maybe he can sell pity party kits.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Why are the worst people in the world always playing victim?

It must be something in their nature. They never take responsibility for the consequences of their own actions. Even Hitler felt he was a victim. And of course there is the greatest victim of all times, TFG. It's so weak and pathetic.

I hope he rots in hell.

[Deuxcents]

11. Self inflected. Just a perfect stooge for tfg

Looser

[malaise]

12. Advice for the soon to be mowed Meadows

Don’t be involved in coups if you don’t want to be vilified. Hope he ends up in prison.

[Lovie777]

13. Here we go again . . ..

victimhood.

[Iggo]

14. Villains get vilified.

That’s life, motherfucker.

[kentuck]

15. So he thinks he is not worthy of vilification?

It could be worse.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Wrong, Markie-Boy!

His actions vilify him. The committee is just making those actions public.
Would Meadows have allowed Frank Columbo to conduct discovery before he obeyed a Senate subpoena? I think not. I mean, if Columbo had nothing to hide.....

[Novara]

17. Hey motherfucker Meadows! You did that all by yourself!

You don't want negative shit to come out publicly? THEN DON'T DO NEGATIVE SHIT!

Not the sharpest tool in the toolshed.

[bluestarone]

18. These fools start by saying, I did nothing wrong. THEN

When they get caught they say, YOU'RE PICKING ON ME. FUCKING CRIMINALS!
