Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake makes only one appearance in the 2,319 text messages former President Trump’s last chief of staff Mark Meadows provided to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.
However, Lake’s cameo provides an especially vivid example of how the challenge to Trump’s 2020 loss helped spur the creation of a new political movement that remains a force in American politics. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/kari-l…
So, one of the previously unreported messages in our latest #TheMeadowsTexts drop is from Rudy's reported girlfriend, Maria Ryan, who says Trump "asked for some talking points" ahead of a rally speech in January 2021. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/meadow…
The talking points Rudy's girlfriend crafted for Trump were a 1,429-word rant arguing the electjon was "a direct assault on the American people.” talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/meadow…
Maria Ryan, Rudy Giuliani's reported girlfriend, seems to have accidentally sent Mark Meadows this massive screed several times in a row. It came in two texts that sprawled to over 5,000 words.

The texts provide a dramatic illustration of how Giuliani’s team was consumed by election conspiracy theories. They also show how Giuliani was both a key player in the former president’s push to reverse his election loss and a divisive figure in Trump’s world 🧵
Meadows’ messages also include multiple instances of the Giuliani team asking for payment for its services.
In previously unreported texts, @MoBrooks sent Mark Meadows claims that @replouiegohmert and @RepRickAllen were warned "ANTIFI" had been in the 1/6 crowd. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/meadow…

Mo Brooks, who has since had something of a falling out with Trump, told @JoshKovensky “right-wing militia groups hijacked what was otherwise going to be a lawful assertion of First Amendment rights" and, "yes, antifa played a role, but it was very minor.” talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/meadow…

Within 2 hours of protesters breaking the first barricades at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, right-wing politicians and media figures were already texting Mark Meadows to lay blame on “antifa” agitators. The first message to mention the group came from Fox New host Laura Ingraham 🧵
“He is destroying his legacy and playing into every stereotype … we lose all credibility against the BLM/Antifa crowd if things go South,” Ingraham wrote.

The text messages Mark Meadows turned over to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack show how frantically former President Trump and his allies worked to reverse the results in the 2020 election.
🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
In at least four cases, the text messages show political allies explicitly mixed requests for presidential pardons with help on the election efforts that were so important to Trump. Let's dig in. ⬇️
Rep. Rick Allen in #TheMeadowsTexts: "The source that is feeding my source some voter fraud information contacted me directly." talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/rep-ri…
The information from @RepRickAllen's "source" seemed to be an evidence-free YouTube video from Romania and a news article from 2005. Still, Allen's ideas made their way directly to Trump's Twitter account during the 2020 Georgia runoff. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/rep-ri…
Rep. Rick Allen on January 8 in #TheMeadowsTexts: "Our Nation is at war, it is a Spiritual War at the highest level. This is not a war that can be fought conventionally, this is God’s battle." talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/rep-ri…
