That 38-slide Powerpoint show “Election Fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 Jan" was actually a 56 1/2 slide show, but 18 1/2 of the slides were missing.
The Republicans who absolutely lost their shit about Hillary’s emails will have absolutely no problem whatsoever if Trump used a private email server with no security at all that was owned by mobsters funded by Russia. Not a single problem with that.
A reminder that 1) Trump’s precious phone was considered a massive security risk as it was easily hackable, and 2) Jared did use a private email server for government business, and nobody cared.
I think it was more a voice of “Holy shit, these assholes you’ve unleashed are going to kill people, and then the shit will hit the fan and I will lose my power to grift the rubes!”
Looks like contempt charges now for Meadows. The Committee can’t allow him to delay like Bannon; they need him in front of the cameras while this issue is hot.
One of the unnamed lawmakers apologized the day after the Capitol riot for failing to stop the counting of electoral votes in key states Trump lost.
“We tried everything we could in our objection to the six states,” they told Meadows, according to a message read by Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat on the committee. “I am sorry nothing worked.”
Another lawmaker texted Meadows before January 6 insisting then-Vice President Mike Pence reject electoral votes, repeating back to the White House the proposal that was reportedly put forward in a much-discussed 38-page power point presentation that was seen as a recipe for a coup.
“On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all,” the lawmaker told Meadows, according to the committee.
