Breaking- Mark Meadows ordered to testify in Trump investigation

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/29/mark-meadows-ordered-to-testify-in-trump-investigation-00071232


South Carolina’s Supreme Court has ordered former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to testify to an Atlanta-area grand jury investigating Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the election in Georgia.

“We have reviewed the arguments raised by Appellant and find them to be manifestly without merit,” South Carolina’s Supreme Court justices wrote.

J6 got the ball rolling and uncovered a lot. But glad we're in the court system now!

The verdict against Rhodes and Meggs and the lesser charges against all 5 defendants will be a huge blow against these traitors.

and state and local prosecutions and investigations might blow up the suspected Federal-level deal: sacrifice Trump and some minions to conceal the collaboration of some Capitol Police, military, secret service, and a large fraction of Congress in attempting to overthrow the government.

Trump is too incompetent to organize. He is a usefull idiot.

Note that Cheney is trying to confine the final J6 report to Trump. Sacrifice a pawn in hopes of a future right-wing recovery. But State and local govts might not be in the deal.

Cough it up.

He’s not gonna help you, Meadows. Not one but interested in that. He’s busy trying to make sure he’s safely beyond the reach of the “long arm of the law.” You’re just road kill after he ran his race car over you.

You’re just another casualty of trump’s multi-headed war.

Plead the 5th whenever you need to, that would probably be right after you state you name.

Ah:

The fight over the Meadows’ subpoena wound up before the South Carolina courts under procedures many states have agreed on to enforce court orders for testimony issued by courts in another state. To compel testimony from out-of-state residents, Willis must first get the approval of local courts. Meadows is a resident of South Carolina.
