If Scavino and Meadows are free and clear... Why the silence from them and rightwing media?

Even as the rightwing media is gearing up to declare the public hearing 'fake news', 'a witch hunt' and a 'hoax', I'm not seeing any mention of either of these turds. Where is the victory lap?

Am I the only one who finds that... Odd?

Hmm. Good question. Normally, RW media would be screeching that they'd been "exonerated". n/t Mister Ed Jun 2022 #3

(I know you know what I mean, and I know what you meant )

Short answer:

Meadows and Scavino aren’t as stupid as Navarro, and aren’t about to go on FOX the week of the Public hearings and shoot of their mouths…

"Notice that Navarro got taken away in handcuffs. Meadows and Scavinos are free. What's the diff? Navarro wouldn't testify for us. Don't be like Navarro."

silence. Not a peep on major issues. Truth hurts the wealth class media owners. IMO.

Scavino and Meadows know their asses are on fire and they are reluctantly waiting for the next DoJ bomb to land in their laps and explode.

So hubris might be the wrong approach at this juncture. Checking the pantry for the proper condiments might be in order for these two. Garland will likely be serving up a big portion - they will soon be eating crow for their pivotal involvement in the trDUMP J/6 Coup d'etat.

If justice speaks louder than these fucking Fascists the fed. pen. warden should be their bestest bud for the next ten years.

Immediately and loudly yelling "EXONERATED!" at any possible opportunity is a big part of the right-wing media playbook, and you'd think that Scavino and Meadows would DEFINITELY be on every Fox News show fielding questions about the "partisan witch-hunt" right about now. The fact that they're not, does seem significant.

It's speculation like all the rest, but I'd like to believe that they are cooperating with the Justice Department, which is why they weren't indicted in the first place, and why they're not speaking out now.

The new seditious conspiracy charges against Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys may also be relevant... perhaps Scavino and Meadows see what's coming and are doing what they can to get clear (whereas Navarro is just a loon who has no clue how much trouble he's in, which is why he didn't cooperate).
