the matter. i mean, this sort of pigs at the trough of the pardons is a known story, but the conduit of being mark meadows feels like it is really cemented both through cassidy hutchinson s televised testimony and the snippets that were shown in the depp pose, but it really comes through in these transcripts the depth to which she reveals everything she saw mark meadows doing that by the end she realized was wrong and perhaps illegal. right. you know, mark meadows, aside from rudy giuliani and donald trump himself, is one of the probably three or four most important people in the effort to overturn the 2020 election because he was there doing trump s bidding, whether it was with trying to influence state lawmakers, taking trips down to georgia, trying to influence people down there to overturn the election, whether
