DOJ/Jack Smith Investigation into Trump and Election Interference, January 6th Insurrection (Re-Indicted August 27, 2024)

I also find the apparent absence of Mark Meadows as a co-conspirator interesting, especially since he’s sort of disappeared from view. I wonder if he’s been singing like a canary in order to save himself.

I try to rarely toot my own horn, but I was pretty sure this was the case a year ago. From the ‘F Merrick Garland’ thread from July 2022:

@Aspenglow

Again, DOJ has had Mark Meadows’ and other top administration officials’ phone information since April. Long before the Committee’s hearings got underway. They haven’t been knitting booties over there.

@Aspenglow

Between two far-ranging investigations, it is not at all surprising that each entity – the Committee and the DOJ – have different evidence and witnesses. You and others have hung your hats on the notion that the DOJ was “blindsided” by the Cassidy Hutchinson testimony. It’s one witness. DOJ has Mark Meadows. Presumably, they don’t need Cassidy Hutchinson if they have Mark Meadows.

@Aspenglow

Meadows and his counsel have gone dead silent. This usually means negotiations with prosecutors, looking for a deal in exchange for testimony against a higher-up. Who could be higher up than Meadows in this scheme?

Meadows is going to be one of Smith’s star witnesses, I am quite sure.
