    Meadows made clear in his own testimony at last week’s hearing that Trump viewed the false electors as a significant part of his strategy to remain in power. He said he sent an email pushing the campaign to assemble those slates because he feared a tongue-lashing from Trump.

    “What I didn’t want to happen was for the campaign to prevail in court action and not have this” lined up, he said.

    “Why?” prosecutor Anna Cross asked him.

    “Because I knew I’d be yelled at by the president of the United States,” he said.

    Yeah…great reason to try to upend democracy, Mark.

      At first I was mad at Mark Meadows for trying to destroy American democracy and rob me of my freedom, but, gosh if he faced the possibility of being yelled at, I guess he didn’t have any choice. So brave.

      I’m so confused why anyone would be intimidated by traitor orange. The fuckin guy is a short fat turd who wears makeup and not in the cool way people wear makeup.

        More accurate to say most are intimidated by drumpf’s base. Not getting votes after he is no longer an option, getting death threats, etc. No one is actually intimidated by him personally.

        Except for Mark Meadows, Chief Pussy.

      I was thinking he has less guts and integrity than the average four year old sneaking cookies before dinner.
