I hate to disagree with an expert, but other experts do too! I think Donald will be indicted and tried over the documents case by spring, it is a simple slam dunk case including the obstruction of justice. These kinds of trials don't take long, it's a slam dunk and he has no defense.

2024 for the J6 stuff sounds about right and will put it in election season. We should be hearing about guilty pleas over J6 in the new year as the rats squeal and deal setting others up for conspiracy indictments. Donald will be in prison long before anybody else with the documents case. The documents case is much simpler, is a done deal and so is Donald. In the meantime a lot of republicans will be spending quality time with FBI agents and grand juries over J6.

The many crimes of Mark Meadows make him the prime candidate for prosecutors to flip against Trump

7,184 views Dec 28, 2022 #TeamJustice
With the recent release of transcripts by the January 6 House select committee, we learned that Mark Meadows repeatedly burned documents after government meetings, including meetings with Republican Representative Scott Perry. Perry, of course, sought a pardon for his crimes in connection with the insurrection.

Given the nature and number and scope of Meadows' crimes, he undoubtedly is the most valuable potential cooperating witness to federal prosecutors. And the leverage prosecutors have on Meadows is enormous: the document burning/destruction; contempt of Congress; serving as a clearing house for treasonous text messages from Republican members of Congress; North Carolina voter fraud; participating in the Trump call in which he pressured Brad Raffensperger, trying to convince him to "find" enough votes to corruptly declare Trump the winner in Georgia; etc.

The evidence suggests that Mark Meadows is going down. The only question is whether he will go down with or without cooperating in the inevitable prosecution of Donald Trump.

Jack is probably trying to get all the FBI interviews and grand jury testimony he can locked in before the transcripts are released. Besides they will be seizing phones and computers. Whoever the IT guy at the WH was, if he deleted records off the severs and backup systems after J6, he will be fucked, not many would be that stupid and there are offsite backups probably made daily. All those documents Mark burned were created on computers, many of them government. Unless you use special software, information is hard to permanently delete from computers and much can be recovered. So some regular government employee was in charge of the information systems in the WH and Trump has no understanding of any of it. I wonder who was interviewing them? Jack sure as shit won't overlook them and probably not over the top secret documents too, someone printed them out and was responsible for tracking the printed copies.

Legal consensus is they will take Donald down over the easily proved documents case, that alone will take care of Donald no matter what else happens after. When the Kingpin goes down early and is running his mouth off blaming them for everything while a convicted felon, it will loosen a few tongues. Jack has got Mark by the balls for serious crime and time and Mark will need a deal. Mark might have took dozens of pardon requests from GOP congress people it is rumored and was conspiracy central for J6 and its various nefarious plots and schemes. Turning Mark could be historic in a serious way and might eventually ensnare dozens of GOP congress people in the auto coup conspiracy. Mark is the key to it all and if he cuts a deal with Jack he must confess all his crimes and any crimes by others he has knowledge of and a request for a pardon is knowledge of one.

Turning Mark Meadows could even lead to the prosecution of DeJoy at the USPS and the mail in vote scheme he concocted with Trump. It depends on how much Mark knew, Trump kept secrets from them and compartmentalized things as much as he could. However Mark was in on many meetings for months before the election and the secrecy mostly involved the level of violence planned on J6th. When the lunatics breeched the capitol and congress had to adjourn, that is when things really started to fall apart as many of them realized the magnitude of their folly in the days after. That is what blew everything wide open and people started connecting the dots with the fake electors and other schemes Trump tried to pull off.

Mark has got to be cutting a deal with the feds and in Georgia too, if his lawyer is any good and not being paid for by Trump! No moral compass means he will sell out anybody to avoid prison or reduce his sentence. Mark has got to have a lot of republicans sweating and Trump must have been trying to contact him if he flipped. Donald would be desperate if Mark suddenly went off the radar and he did seem to half way through his J6 cooperation and only turned over half the texts and emails.

Holy shit! They know and track every one, usually they are not printed out until required and the print outs are tracked, or are suppose to be. This is just one person in the WH coming clean with the J6 committee, there will be plenty of others talking to Jack, perhaps even Mark Meadows.


Former WH aide says Trump allies helped deliver a ‘dolly of boxes’ full of what may have been classified intelligence documents to the Situation Room in the final days of Trump’s presidency

  • A former WH aide detailed the flow of intelligence documents to the Situation Room during Trump's last days.
  • Cassidy Hutchinson had previously told the January 6 committee that Mark Meadows burned documents.
  • In a new transcript, she described how Trump allies including Meadows sought boxes of documents from congress.

More evidence he is cooperating with Jack and cut a deal to rat them all out as far as I can see, no cause for alarm, this is just beginning.

This Trump Ally Is 'Prime Candidate' to Turn Against Him: Kirschner

Ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is a "prime candidate" to be a cooperating witness against his one-time boss, former President Donald Trump, according to former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner.

Kirschner, who now works as an analyst on MSNBC, made the comment on Twitter and discussed the theory further on the Wednesday edition of Justice Matters, his show that's posted on his YouTube channel.

In the video, Kirschner cited accusations made against Meadows in recently released transcripts from the January 6 House select committee investigating the 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol as reason for him to testify against Trump should the Department of Justice (DOJ) charge the former president, who is running again in 2024.

Jack is back in America and the DOJ knows it is dealing with domestic terrorism too and taking appropriate measures.

Jack Smith returns to U.S. weeks after becoming Trump special counsel

Tasked with two Trump-related investigations, the former war crimes prosecutor has returned from Europe, people familiar with the situation said

The Justice Department special counsel tasked with overseeing two major investigations of former president Donald Trump has arrived in the United States, according to people familiar with the matter, after remaining in Europe to recover from an injury during his first weeks on the high-profile job.

Jack Smith, a Kosovo war crimes prosecutor at The Hague, was appointed on Nov. 18 to lead the criminal probe of Trump’s possible mishandling of classified documents at his Florida home and private club and key aspects of the sprawling Jan. 6, 2021, investigation. He had injured his leg in a recent bicycle accident and was recovering from surgery when Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment.

Justice Department officials said in November that Smith was assuming his responsibilities from The Hague and that his appointment would not slow down the investigations. But they offered few details about when he would return to America or how he was assembling a special counsel team and reviewing materials while abroad.

People familiar with Smith’s travels would not say when he arrived from Europe but said on Tuesday that he has been back in the country “for some time.” They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Justice Department had not officially announced Smith’s return.

Officials have not announced who from within the Justice Department has been detailed to Smith’s team or if he has hired any outside prosecutors to work with him. But they have said many of the career agents and prosecutors already working on the Trump-related investigations would continue to do so for Smith’s office.

Attorneys general typically appoint special counsels — which are Justice Department prosecutors with an extra measure of autonomy — in “extraordinary circumstances,” when they believe the department’s direct involvement in the investigation could pose a conflict of interest in a case. Even as a special counsel, Smith still ultimately reports to the attorney general.

Garland said in November that he decided to appoint a special counsel because Trump had declared he would again run for president in 2024, and President Biden had said he was likely to seek reelection.

“Based on recent developments, including the former president’s announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election, and the sitting president’s stated intention to be a candidate as well, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel,” Garland said at the time of the appointment.

Smith spent nearly a decade as a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn and became a war crimes prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in 2008. He later returned to the Justice Department to lead the Public Integrity Section. Four years ago, he returned to The Hague to investigate war crimes in Kosovo.

Since his appointment, Smith has sent grand jury subpoenas to local officials in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin — three states that were central to Trump’s failed plan to stay in power after the 2020 election — seeking any and all communications with Trump, his campaign, and a long list of aides and allies.
