An aide to former Vice President Mike Pence described former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows as the “ringleader” with much of the events that took place on Jan. 6, 2021.
Marc Short, Pence’s former chief of staff, said Meadows was “central” in efforts to overturn the 2020 election on Jan. 6. Though Meadows was not charged in the Justice Department’s federal case, he was charged alongside former President Trump with racketeering and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer in the Fulton County, Ga., election case.
All the more intriguing that he might be cooperating.
But also what are the odds the Chief of Staff in the White House is “central” to a plan that never implicates the guy he reports directly to?
Cooperating? He’s taking the heat off of trump. He’s not helping the prosecution here, he’s defending his lord and savior by throwing himself under the bus.
Meadows isn’t telling the media that he himself was the ring leader. This is coming from the Trump camp. Everything else indicates that Meadows is giving up info, and this seems like Team Trump trying to poison the well and drum up a defense of “sour grapes, he’s just mad he isn’t going to be Trump’s chief of staff in 2024.”
