Obviously, Jim Jordan was in contact with him. But I don't think that's who was on the phone with him when he was in the car, shutting out Hutchinson. I think it was someone that wanted more secrecy. Because this was a military style operation, I know Flynn had to be within whiffing distance. I don't think it was Trump, since Trump had no reason to speak to Meadows since he was Master of his own reality show.
So, I'm thinking that in the car, Meadows was talking to someone who could explain to him why everything was getting out of hand. He didn't need to be updated by Hutchinson, because Meadows already had eyes everywhere. Jim Jordan was probably giving him updates from inside the Capitol. It's possible that Meadows may have tried to find out how far they were planning to go, before finally stepping in because he knew he was going to be held accountable for not doing anything, if everything went to shit.
So, the question is, was Flynn behind the military "strategerizing"? Sure did look like Cheney wanted to make sure his name was brought into the hearing, possibly to lay the groundwork for the next hearing or two?
I don't think Ginni Thomas would have been involved at this point, but I hope they find her text messages in Meadows phone records, which would provide the cause her lawyer needs to bring her in too.

(3,310 posts)I remember during the war/Kent State protests, Nixon decided he was going to the Lincoln Memorial and mingle with the protesters. It was really crazy.
Trump sounds like he was similarly delusional, like physically invulnerable, at least if the secret service agents were going to be there to take bullets for him.

(42,572 posts)It didn't get as much attention as ketchup on the wall or Donny grabbing the wheel, but it's just as remarkable. Things are going to hell in a handbag and Meadows is sitting in a vehicle having at least two phone conversations he doesn't want anyone else to hear. Makes me want to know who was on the other end of that call. Makes me hope the J6 committee already knows, or at least suspects.

(13,776 posts)She was there for everything else he did, according to people who worked in the White House.
And he kept her away for 20-25 minutes knowing she wanted to tell him something. Thats a long long time to keep a trusted person waiting outside a car.
