Meadows' involvement in the events leading to Jan 6 isn't up for debate. Our investigation found that, without a doubt, he asked Acting AG Rosen to initiate baseless election fraud investigations on behalf of Trump—and this "Big Lie" helped incite the insurrection.

KEY POINTS ⬇️
.@JudiciaryDems found that from 12/29-1/11, Meadows asked DOJ to:

1) Investigate various discredited claims of election fraud in Georgia that the Trump campaign was unsuccessfully pursuing in court;
2) Investigate false claims of “signature match anomalies” in Fulton County, Georgia, even though Republican state elections officials had made clear “there has been no evidence presented of any issues with the signature matching process.”
3) Investigate a theory known as “Italygate,” promoted by a Rudy Giuliani ally, which held that the CIA and an Italian IT contractor used military satellites to manipulate voting machines and change Trump votes to Biden votes. Meadows also asked DOJ to meet with Giuliani.
4) Investigate a series of claims of election fraud in New Mexico that had been widely refuted and in some cases rejected by the courts, including a claim that Dominion Voting Systems machines caused late-night “vote dumps” for Democratic candidates.

🚨 POTENTIAL KASH PATEL PERJURY 🚨

Kash Patel may have committed PERJURY before Congress, per breaking whistleblower reports.

It fits into a pattern of behavior that shows Kash Patel is not fit to be entrusted with government authority.

Here’s how. A THREAD. Image
JANUARY 29, 2025

DOJ-FBI leadership meet, and notes from that morning meeting read: “KP wants movement at FBI, reciprocal actions for DOJ.”

This was the day before Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing.
At that same meeting, Emil Bove—the Acting Deputy Attorney General—said that he’d received multiple phone calls the night before from Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff.

We have grave concerns with Kash Patel’s nomination, especially given developments during and after his hearing.

Republicans *must* schedule an additional hearing to thoroughly examine serious questions.

Here’s why. A THREAD. Image
Kash Patel gave misleading testimony regarding his role in producing a recording for a “choir” of violent January 6th insurrectionists.

He testified under oath that he “didn’t have anything to do” with it, but he had many times before literally taken credit for producing it.
Kash Patel testified he couldn’t recall “off the top of [his] head” who Holocaust denier Stew Peters is, despite appearing on his podcast 8 times.

Stew Peters himself refuted this, revealing they directly text via personal cell phones.

This suggests Kash Patel lied under oath.
