Surely Meadows cannot claim Executive privilege or immunity from this. If you have already passed over 9K exhibits then you cannot claim it isn't in the public interest.

Surfer 1,547 Posted December 17, 2021 Three threads to the Trump story - Insurrection, fraud and sabotaging Covid response. In a properly run country any one of those three would result in conviction, in the US the Republican Party is doubling down on each one of those confident a complaint media will let them get away with it.

A Load of Squit 5,164 Posted December 19, 2021 Maria likes Trump, but even she isn't accepting this BS. https://www.mediaite.com/trump/foxs-maria-bartiromo-exasperatedly-shuts-down-trumps-praise-of-chinese-president-xi-hes-a-killer/ During a conversation with the former president on Sunday Morning Futures, Bartiromo asked about U.S. relations with China. As part of his response, Trump delivered a glowing assessment of his rapport with China’s President, Xi Jinping. “You know, I had a great relationship with President Xi,” Trump said. “I really believe he liked me, and I like him. I had a great relationship—” An exasperated Bartiromo cut Trump off. “He’s a killer!” Bartiromo said, throwing up her arms in frustration. “He is a killer,” Trump replied. “But I had a great relationship with him.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It started with the “Tea Party” which led to a joke called Sarah Palin who encouraged Donald Trump who begat “Q” ….. A similar thing is happening with the Tories and Brexit. The constant lying eventually consumes the original leaders as the temptation to lie at ever greater frequency and outrageousness undermines any desire by those being lied to to accept what is true. History has shown it all too often needs an outside force to shock these societies into a hard reset, but unfortunately such a reset all too often is to a new authoritarian state that very few want.

I his latest interview, not the one where the hostess just agreed with him, the questions were put to him about his tax returns. Illegal he said. You aren't the POTUS anymore. Even though he hasn't been in power for a year its still down to him the US has done better than anyone else in the pandemic. But the US has had more deaths. Lies. Fake. I know most about everything than anybody else was one of his mantras. Do you denounce QAnon? I don't know anything about it but I denounce Antifa. And on and on it went. Don't give the pirck oxygen. Starve him of his only ploy. Telling the World how marvellous he is. Show him the video where he says if Biden beats him, you will never here from him again.
