Scarborough Notes that Meadows Accidentally Gave Away the Trump Administration’s Biggest Fear

If anyone spends immoderate clip successful tribunal during trials, 1 notices a signifier beauteous quickly. Opposing attorneys tin exposure what scientists person known for a agelong time. What utilized to beryllium the golden standard, eyewitness testimony, is present acold little dependable and compelling than video and different means of physics records made at the time, arsenic things happened.

The Select Committee tin beryllium thought of arsenic a tribunal successful galore ways, particularly with respect to its involvement successful evidence. They privation to cognize what happened that day. Yes, they privation to talk to the witnesses that were there, but fixed each the lying that occurred during the Mueller investigation, they are truly aft the physics records, successful peculiar – telephone records and visitant logs.

At slightest that was the “tell” that Mark Meadows gave during an interrogation connected the terribly right-wing Real America’s Voice network, wherever helium mentioned specifically that they wanted “phone records” arsenic if it was insane. It was a fearfulness truthful evident that the Morning Joe squad picked up upon and discussed this morning,

Scarborough said:

“I thought determination was a archer successful that interrogation that Meadows had. The happening they’re the astir frightened astir are the telephone records. Who called whom? That’s going to uncover the tick-tock of who Donald Trump’s calling, who they’re calling, who’s furiously calling them to effort to get, you know, Donald Trump to really telephone retired the National Guard and prevention the lives of radical wrong the Capitol. But for him, for Meadows, helium goes, ‘Oh, well, erstwhile they did what’ — by the way, everybody does it successful each lawsuit. This is what everybody does.”

It is precise fashionable to beryllium chill and hatred connected Scarborough – to each his ain – but Joe is unquestionably close successful this instance. Meadows indispensable beryllium precise frightened of those third-party telephone records due to the fact that Scarborough is right, that is the astir evident petition for grounds successful immoderate administration. Ask your section detective.

Think astir what could beryllium successful those records? Phone calls from idiosyncratic – possibly from Meadow’s office, oregon Don Jr.’s phone, to 1 of the leaders of the Proud Boys? Maybe to definite members of Congress that are besides suspected to person played a role. Just yesterday, Marjorie Taylor-Greene was quoted arsenic furiously pledging to “get back” astatine the Democrats who subpoenaed telephone records from astir the Capitol that day. Strange. Those records would see calls made by each Democrat and yet they’re not afraid.

The telephone records could easy physique a “network” regarding who called whom and astatine what time. Or much importantly, who didn’t telephone who! Was Trump the slightest spot funny successful protecting the building, Congress, Mike Pence? But of course, it doesn’t extremity there:

You get the telephone records, you get bureau records — you get everything. You get the files successful discovery. But, of course, they’re freaking retired due to the fact that that helps enactment the tick-tock together.

It is besides acold much hard to assertion enforcement privilege implicit records similar telephone logs. The laws requiring that statesmanlike records beryllium kept originate consecutive retired of the Watergate after-action review. Congress passed a instrumentality to code a concern conscionable similar this. Additionally, each privileges exist only to support discussions involving advice, to beforehand and support definite backstage discussions. Records lone uncover the pattern, they don’t uncover what was discussed.

But it would beryllium precise almighty to larn with whom the White House was successful interaction with that morning, and who called the Pentagon and when.

Meadows gave different archer past nighttime connected Hannity. First, Meadows broke enforcement by discussing the information that Trump did authorize the National Guard earlier successful the day. Of course, the Committee would person loved to person followed up. “Under what circumstances? If they are wrong the gathering and breaking things, past the National Guard is authorized…” It is simply a worthless point. More below:

But again, it truly does spell to amusement conscionable however overmuch they fearfulness this Select Committee, which should be extremely unusual because, if you recall, we were told that Trump gave a code to an aggravated protestation and that protestation got mode retired of hand, correct?

The full absorption to this committee, the Republicans’ refusal to enactment arsenic afloat members, Trump’s assertion of privilege, and Meadows refusing to give phone logs from that day?? How could that beryllium incriminating…

Scarborough is right. It is simply a tell, successful fact, their full signifier of behaviour is simply a tell.
