So now we know. Mark Meadows has complied with Jan 6th Committee subpoena (although initially resisting it) and has turned over all materials requested by Jan 6th, also handed all that to DOJ. & apparently has also testified to Jan 6th (we will soon see)
Meadows Flip Thread 2/
You might think this is a big deal. Trump's former White House Chief Of Staff flipping against Trump. Sure. It is. But it is WAY WAY WAY more than you probably noticed
Let's do a Thread about it. Remember Meadows only served in White House for last year
Meadows Flip Thread 3/
After the Nov 2020 election, Trump led the largest criminal conspiracy in US history, an attempted coup d'etat for Jan 6th. He intended to end US democracy, make Trump the ruler, a king, exactly as despotic & tyrannical as Putin, but as vindictive as Trump
Meadows Flip Thread 4/
I've explored the core team of about 2 dozen who built that plot in December 2020, long before any airhead Boeberts or Ginnis, or lunatic Senators like Hawley or Cruz got into this gambit. Mark Meadows was there on Day One of plot
Jan 6th was the largest criminal conspiracy on a crime that ultimately failed
We have just in the past month, witnessed the largest crime ever COMMITTED by a US President. Trump stole 325 classified documents for the purpose of selling them: espionage
Meadows Flip Thread 6/
We do not yet know when Trump COMMENCED the crime of stealing 325 classified documents & taking those to Florida. We know he COMPLETED that theft by Jan 20, 2021. He very likely started planning it in July 2020
Mark Meadows was with Trump all that time
Meadows Flip Thread 7/
In addition to these two massive criminal conspiracies, Trump committed countless other crimes
We just learned two hours ago, that the state of Georgia has already identified 17 criminal targets in the attempt to commit election fraud in Georgia
Meadows Flip Thread 8/
When that election fraud project was run by Giuliani, it involved Trump too, you remember the infamous telephone call where Trump demanded they somehow 'find' him 11,780 votes that were in reality votes for Joe Biden. This was again during Meadows period
Meadows Flip Thread 9/
And let me add just one more. There is a criminal investigation into Trump defrauding $500 million dollars from Maganutter voters, into Trump fraudulent election campaign AFTER Nov 2020, to pay Trump legal fees, & pay Trump interest to his bankers, etc.
Meadows Flip Thread 10/
This whole financial fraud, half a BILLION dollars scammed in past two years, was developed during the time of Mark Meadows, and about $250 million of that had been collected by the time Trump left office on 20 Jan, 2021
Mark Meadows knows ALL THIS
Meadows Flip Thread 11/
Any one of these 4 major crimes puts Trump into prison for decades. 3 of the 4 put him in prison for life. And Georgia crimes are STATE crimes, that no future Republican President could even pardon, to take Trump out of prison (also true of NY taxes etc)
Meadows Flip Thread 12/
Meadows can put Trump away on all four of those crimes. Him ALONE is not certain to get a conviction. But Dept of Justice has COUNTLESS others who witnessed parts of those crimes, who can testify to them. And DOJ has TONS of evidence, implicating Trump
Meadows Flip Thread 13/
Let's take Jan 6th. Mark Meadows was at the FOUNDING meeting of the plot of Jan 6th, on 18 Dec, 2020. The meeting of the Kraken lady & the Russian General Flynn & Buttdial McRudypants. That meeting. The one where Patsy Baloney objected to this coup d'etat
Meadows Flip Thread 14/
Meadows was in on the second meeting, the one with the 11 corrupt Republican congressmen like Gym Jordan, Paul Gosar, Scott Perry, Mo Brooks etc. The one that Marjorie Traitor-Geene so proudly proclaimed she too attended. The meeting where Pence objected
Meadows Flip Thread 15/
Only Trump, Giuliani and Meadows attended BOTH of those first 2 meetings. And Rudy would be a rogue circus clown on the witness stand, declaring the Truth isn't the truth, a crime isn't a crime, prison isn't prison, and hairdye isn't hairdye
Meadows Flip Thread 16/
If you want the least nutty witness against Trump, of the original plotters who went along with the plot, and who attended both first 2 planning meatings - that is Mark Meadows
For Jan 6th, there is no more damaging witness against Trump, than Meadows
Meadows Flip Thread 17/
For a President who does not read. And certainly does not write; any written communications of those sensitive plotting meetings - would be done by Meadows. Follow ups, notes, plans, schedules, budgets. This is likely part of what Mark BURNED in last days
Meadows Flip Thread 18/
Remember Meadows was handing text messages to Jan 6th Cttee but suddenly stopped doing so? WHY would you STOP showing messages you had sent or received? Because you understood, these messages will INCRIMINATE yourself. Mark KNEW he was cooked
Meadows Flip Thread 19/
The ONLY reason for Meadows to STOP giving some messages suddenly to Jan 6th, was because they exposed crimes Mark was committing. That is the only reason
And NOW we KNOW Mark has given those messages both to Jan 6th & FBI. He HAS made a plea bargain
Meadows Flip Thread 20/
So espionage. It's IMPOSSIBLE for Trump to sell govenment secret documents, unless he first STEALS them
But Trump is an imbecile, he cannot comprehend what he reads. He told us 'yesterday is a hard word' for him, the 'stable genius' who 'knows all words'
Meadows Flip Thread 21/
Trump could not COMMENCE the crime of espionage, as President, unless he first committed theft of the 325 classified documents. How can Trump possibly know which document to steal - they are not STORED in the White House. They have to be fetched for him
Meadows Flip Thread 22/
Someone in the White House has to REQUEST a given document, or given briefing. I want to know about Israel's nuclear capability. Or I want an update about our intelligence assets (spies) in Moscow. That kind of requests, perfectly valid for a US President
Meadows Flip Thread 23/
Trump also PLANTED Trump's own crooked pals to various departments to search for classified documents that Trump could use to sell, like Corey Lewandowski sent to Dept of Defense or Christina Bobb(lehead) over at Dept of Homeland Security
Meadows Flip Thread 24/
While Mark Meadows was not NOW in Florida for the late stage of the espionage crimes, Meadows was White House Chief of Staff at the start when Trump was stealing documents. Mark KNEW (& arranged) what meetings & briefings Trump held where documents stolen
Meadows Flip Thread 25/
And many of Trump's espionage crooks were installed in the last year, typically in Autumn of 2020, even after he lost the election, to those departments from where Trump then stole classified documents. Mark Meadows had to IMPLEMENT those appointments
Meadows Flip Thread 26/
Meadows was not necessarily himself involved in (any attempted or completed) SALES of US secrets to foreign countries. But he was personally involved in the THEFT of those documents, so that Trump could then sell them (via say golf tournaments to Saudis)
Meadows Flip Thread 27/
Why would Meadows commit such blatant, obscene crimes, right at the end of Trump Presidency when Mark HAD to know these crimes will fail?
The Giuliani gambit! Trump PROMISED Meadows, Trump would pardon Mark (& like with Rudy, Trump betrayed that promise)
Meadows Flip Thread 28/
How did Trump try to make amends for his broken promise? A bribe of course. Trump paid Meadows one million dollars to buy Mark's silence in lieu of the pardon. That will not do Mark any good, Mark now goes to prison. But it tells us price of Trump pardon
Meadows Flip Thread 29/
Take Jan 6th. On the FIRST meeting there were 3 White House attorneys present, listening to Russian General Flynn & the Diet Dutchess of Dr Pepper make their lunatic pitch: Why not just end American democracy & make Trump a dictator? King Donald the Worst
Meadows Flip Thread 30/
If you have Pat Cipollone plus 2 more White House attorneys - who all vehemently objected to this lunatic plan to try a coup d'etat - testify truthfully to a court of law, it is pretty near slam dunk right there. Add Meadows testifying against Trump: done
Meadows Flip Thread 31/
The second meeting with 11 crooked Congressmen? The animatronic wax doll and part time hanging target, Mike Pence OBJECTED to the planned coup d'etat. In court he will tell the truth of what happened. If Meadows ALSO says the same: they'd need just 1 flip
Meadows Flip Thread 32/
Now lets move to Espionage-a-Lago. The DOJ told us through court filings BEFORE Aug search of Mar-A-Lago that they have MULTIPLE informants (who will testify against Trump). Add Meadows, this case becomes a slam dunk. Of the INTENT already by Jan 20, 2021
Meadows Flip Thread 33/
There really is nobody who can put more prison time on Trump than Mark Meadows. He can be the ultimate witness closing both Jan 6th and the theft half of the espionage crimes - largest crime ever attempted by US President, & largest crime committed by one
Meadows Flip Thread 34/
Meadows also will be able to testify about MANY other Trump crimes during last year of Trump presidency
Will he tell the truth? Who the f*ck cares? If Mark tells only SMALL part of the truth, and gives PART of the evidence, Trump is deepfried & refried
Meadows Flip Thread 35/
If Meadows hides ONE crime, or lies about ONE crime, all his 6 months of plea bargaining is WASTED and Meadows gets several Life Without Parole sentences, potentially even death sentence (the espionage crimes). He'd be an idiot to not spill EVERYTHING
Meadows Flip Thread 36/
Meadows was FAR too late in the Grand #Flippathon, ratting out Trump NOW, in August, when DOJ had MULTIPLE witnesses against Trump. The best deals are gone. Meadows gets AT LEAST a decade in prison. At least, AFTER the plea bargain deal
Meadows Flip Thread 37/
Do we have proof Meadows flipped? Of course not. It is ALWAYS impossible to know who flipped, until the trial. Prosecutors WILL NOT REVEAL
But Meadows behavior suggested he was flipping. Trump attorneys said so. Now his behavior tells us, he has flipped
Meadows Flip Thread 38/
If you could have 1 person flip against Trump, Meadows is more damaging to total Trump prison time than anyone else, incl Giuliani, Ivanka, Bill Barr, Don Jr; anyone. This is the mother load
& we have him
And throughout the land there was much rejoicing

On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'
Let's do a Thread
GAG ORDER THREAD/2
Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST
GAG ORDER THREAD/3
Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY
But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me
We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate
FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice
The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six..
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT
Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime
Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart
Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid
General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot
Next...
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:
VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron
Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is
Let's do a Thread
New York New York Thread /2
So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was
New York New York Thread /3
Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie
What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker
DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker
BUT DEMs could make a deal
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker
Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney
Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now
This is the deal I suggest:
DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week
With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump
Flipper Thread/2
Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason
So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr
Flipper Thread/3
Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal
