TFG's attempt to rewrite history just took a big hit

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The news that former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is now cooperating with the House's January 6 select committee investigation represents a clear and present danger to the former president and his attempts to rewrite the history of that fateful day.

"He has produced records to the committee and will soon appear for an initial deposition," committee chair Bennie Thompson told CNN of Meadows. "The Select Committee expects all witnesses, including Mr. Meadows, to provide all information requested and that the Select Committee is lawfully entitled to receive. The Committee will continue to assess his degree of compliance with our subpoena after the deposition."

Meadows' cooperation marks a serious reversal from his stance earlier this month when he failed to heed a congressional subpoena to appear for a deposition about what he knew and when -- both during the January 6 riot and in the days leading up to it.

What changed his mind? It's impossible to know for sure, but the Department of Justice's decision to bring criminal contempt charges against former Trump White House political guru Steve Bannon -- the same day that Meadows no-showed for his deposition -- for refusing to cooperate with the committee could have something to do with it.

1. "Cooperating" is a vague, abstract term. Meadows is a seditious loaf of dog shit and

I’ll be shocked if even a scintilla of useful information comes to light.

3. Yeah, the cooperation is...

..minimal and more of a stall tactic against the contempt charge. He obviously hasn't given them the smoking gun or else they wouldn't keep dicking around with him. He's also supposed to testify...we'll see how that turns out. But rest assured, he's hoping for a pass via privilege.

2. Jeffrey Clark went before the committee and refused to answer.

Meadows will probably do the same.

Nothing is a "big hit" until the SCOTUS finally shoots down his privilege claim, which is when? Never? The day after Trump is re-inaugurated?
