More Evidence of Trump's Election Conspiracy; Meadows Changes his Tune, Cooperates w/House Committee
Two big stories just broke on the legal front: according to reporting in the Guardian, Trump called his "lieutenants" at the Willard Hotel shortly before the attack on the Capitol, expressed his concern that Mike Pence was not coming through for him, and asked how else they could block the certification of Joe Biden's election win. This is yet additional evidence of Trump participation in a robust conspiracy to corruptly overturn the election results.
In a second story, the New York Times reported that Mark Meadows has done an abrupt about face and is now cooperating with the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack. This change of heart by Meadows is a tribute to the power of prosecution. With Steve Bannon being criminally prosecuted for HIS contempt of Congress, Meadows likely did not want to suffer the same fate and decided to cooperate with Congress.

Jan. 6 panel recommends contempt charges for Trump DOJ official
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol voted Wednesday night to refer Trump Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark for prosecution by the very agency where he once worked, the second such censure by the panel.
The unanimous vote comes as the committee is now planning to convene a second hearing for Clark this coming Saturday, following a note at 8 p.m. Tuesday from his lawyer asking for a change to plead his fifth amendment right for protection against self incrimination before the committee.
The vote will continue the contempt process, with Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) calling the move a “last-ditch attempt to delay the Select Committee’s proceedings” noting that the committee would still forward the matter for consideration by the full House, while the Saturday meeting will allow Clark the plead the fifth on the question-by-question basis.
Clark, a mid-level attorney at DOJ, became a central figure in former President Trump’s quest to have the Justice Department investigate his baseless claims of voter fraud, with Clark pushing superiors to send a letter encouraging states to delay certification of their election results. Trump weighed installing him as acting attorney general as other DOJ officials resisted his efforts.
In a contempt of Congress report released Tuesday, the committee released a transcript of its brief Nov. 5 deposition with Clark who, alongside his attorney, largely refused to answer the committee’s questions.
They have argued that the DOJ official should be exempt from responding due to executive privilege concerns – an assertion former President Trump himself has not made in regards to Clark.
But the committee said Clark’s behavior is willful defiance of its subpoena, which sought information on a wide range of topics, including other ways Trump may have planned to overturn the election.
“If you want to know what contempt of Congress really looks like, read the transcript of Mr. Clark’s deposition and his attorney’s correspondence with the Select Committee. Because what you find there is contempt for Congress and for the American people.… Faced with specific questions, he refused to offer any specific claim of privilege that could shield him from answering. Instead, he hid. Again and again and again. Behind his attorney’s 12-page letter and vague claims of privilege. Then he said, and I’m quoting, ‘I think that we’re done.’ And he walked out,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said Wednesday evening.
In forwarding its contempt of Congress report, the matter will now go to the full House, who will weigh whether to formally recommend DOJ file charges for criminal contempt of Congress.

DC attorney general sues far-right groups over Jan. 6 attack
Washington, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine (D) on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit against far-right groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers over their role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
The 84-page civil complaint, which also lists dozens of individuals, alleges violations of local D.C. and federal laws, including a statute stemming from the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act, which targets violent conspiracies.
“The images of that shameful and contemptible day can never be erased,” Racine said at a press conference announcing the lawsuit. “It was like 9-11, a planned terrorist attack, but this time, our own citizens were hell bent on destroying the freedoms and ideals on which our country was founded, and continues to aspire to achieve.”
The lawsuit, filed in a Washington, D.C.-based federal court, seeks unspecified amounts of money damages from the defendants for what Racine described as “restitution and recompense” for the injuries inflicted in the attack.
“I can guarantee you that as we proceed, we are going to seek the maximum level of financial penalty,” Racine said in response to a question from a reporter.
The complaint follows similar litigation filed by a group of U.S. Capitol Police officers and another suit by the NAACP and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.). Those lawsuits also drew upon the Ku Klux Klan Act, which makes it illegal to use force or threats to prevent federal officers from carrying out their official duties.
But whereas the previous suits named former President Trump and his close allies as defendants, the D.C. attorney general’s suit does not. Instead, it targets the two far-right groups and dozens of their top members, many of whom face federal criminal charges for their role in disrupting the nation’s peaceful transfer of power during the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection.

Like all great campaigns (a continental invasion, a civil rights movement, a lunar landing program) it proceeds in stages. I think it is prudent to stitch up the neck and shoulders of the sedition before dealing with the half-dozen or so at its head.
his own mother turned him in..you Righties better be careful; you don't know who the enemy is now- mom..surprise!

A Georgia man who drove cross-country with an assault rifle and threatened to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was sentenced to 28 months behind bars in an emotional hearing on Tuesday.
Cleveland Meredith Jr. pleaded guilty in September to sending threatening communications. Though he missed the January 6 rally because of car troubles, Meredith was one of the first people charged in relation to the Capitol riot after his mother reported concerning texts to the FBI on January 7. Agents found Meredith in a hotel one mile from the Capitol with thousands of rounds of ammunition, a handgun and an assault rifle stashed in his trailer.
