Former President Trump's election fraud enablers don't know which way is up. It all feels very desperate.
Not to mention the fact that one cannot invoke executive privilege to cover up one’s own crimes or the crimes of the president. And Meadows has revealed much about his conversations and interactions with Trump in his recently published book. The law generally deems that a public disclosure of information waives any legal privilege that information might otherwise enjoy.
Meadows isn’t the only one struggling with what course to chart through the congressional contempt waters. Jeffrey Clark, one of Trump’s former DOJ officials who provided election officials in battleground states with a blueprint to overturn the election results, went from saying he will cooperate with the committee to storming out of the committee hearing without announcing his intention to invoke his Fifth Amendment right.
One thing seems tragically clear: The Bannons, Meadows, Clarks and Eastmans of this shameful national saga seem motivated by everything and anything other than a desire to tell the truth about what they know regarding an unprecedented attack on our U.S. Capitol, our legislators and our democracy.
