Government had been hollowed out. bill barr will let. the only people left with mark meadows, cash pat el, like eastman, jeff lee clark, the people willing to sell the last shred of their soul for president trump to remain president of the united states. what is so powerful about this reporting is that it connects the scenes that we saw on january 6th, through the planning, through the conspiracy theorizing to the play wook they were run. and that power point is as good a symbolization of everything they did. it didn t come out of nowhere. it looks like what we all lived and heard and experienced between the election and january 6th. claire, everything that s been discussed is sort of in the public view because we know that the 1/6 committee knows all of this, because mark meadows, who now faces in about 2:40, a ....
Saying that they have to be part of protecting this, if this was a secondary role. the point is that these people who were breaking into the capitol, these insurrectionists, they were people that were trump people and they were people who were really following former president trump s direction in going to the capitol, so of course in some ways, it makes sense, as shocking as it is, that mark meadows would be very, very concerned with their safety given the fact that they were breaking into a federal building. it is also, of course, the big question is, was the national guard also supposed to be on call for helping out the police, for helping out the officers that are now traumatized, some of whom have sadly killed themselves because of the trauma they experienced? these are the questions that mark meadows in some ways needs to answer, and that i m sure lawmakers want to pose. i think the other thing that s really interesting is that of course mark meadows, being in the room, knowing f ....
Questions. and it is very clear to me, and very clear to i think anyone who read those 51 pages, mark meadows was doing trump s bidding. trump wanted to steal the election, and it was mark meadows job to make it happen. you know, and i think one thing that is blown up by this 51-page report, luke, is any notion that meadows was a passive actor in the coup plot. he was the protagonist. testifies coordinator. he was serving not as the chief of staff of the white house for executive branch of government protecting the united states from enemies foreign and domestic. he was the quarterback running the play to topple the democracy. it was noted that he traveled to georgia. did he any on one of the air force fleets? i mean he took a plane to georgia to try to topple the election result. he was on the call with raffensperger. and i want to read something we ....
Pbs news hour and moderator of washington week for now. and editor at large of the bulwark, charlie sykes is here. lucky for us, all three are msnbc contributors. i don t want to lose this thread of the committee s interest in two things. one, knowledge of violence and two, the white house s role, the president was still mostly for worse but for better or worse the country s only commander in chief, and this direction, this sort of understanding that the most powerful person in the government other than the president, his understanding was that the guard was only to be deployed to protect the insurrectionists, to protect trump s supporters? wow. nicole, it just underscores how much more we need to know about the white house s role in what happened on january 6th. without the full context of this, it s somewhat hard to say whether or not mark meadows was ....
Goes in tandem with a stunning menl expressed by former chief of staff mark meadows. in an email previously unknown until now. from the 1/6 select committee s report recommending that mark meadows be held in contempt of congress. quote, we would have asked mr. meadows about emails regarding the deployment of the national guard on january 6th, including a january 5th email from meadows in which he indicates the guard would be at the present to, quote, protect pro-trump people, end quote. it s shocking. at least it should be. that the national guard was envisioned and allegedly wanted to protect not the capitol building or the members or mike pence, for christ s sake, not the peaceful transfer of power, not our democracy, but to protect donald trump s supporters. politico puts meadows email in this confection. quote, it is unclear who meadows relayed the information to or whether it was the result of any insight provided by the defense department but the exchange is of high interest to ....
