said was more forthcoming than her boss mark meadows. with all respect, i m not sure the foreperson envinced knowledged they were releasing a scoop the way they said it. she was comparing testimony. you still don t know. but does it tell you they got meadows in there and she didn t see him as forthcoming. i guess you don t have immunity if you re not forth coming. he may have taken the fifth. meaning he might have broken a law in georgia. right, right. i mean, he just may not have testified. when you say testified, sure, he shows up come in, yeah. he came in, but it doesn t mean he really provided testimony. he could have basically asserted his fifth amendment privilege. when you look at her comparison with cassidy hutchinson, who absolutely gave a detailed recitation of what went on, my immediate take from that was that he took the fifth. yeah. that s what i thought when i
says he ll be viewing on tape. here s what happened. tucker carlson wrote, trump s lawyer sidney powell is lying, adding, i caught her. it s insane. he s crystal clear that trump s team was wrong. they weren t purk some legitimate argument or asking for a court process. they were lying in a, quote, insane way, as he put it and ing graham privately responded the same trump lawyer is a complete nut. no one will work with her, ditto for giuliani. carlson goes on to lament how his viewers are being duped, write, quote, our viewers are good people, and they believe it. yeah, a lot of them did believe it. some of them committed crimes based on those beliefs. but why did they believe it? i m going to get real. this isn t, like, a cop pet to have thing or a job thing or a tv thing. i m talking about the insurrection to steal your vote and end democracy in america. why did they believe it?
