are you tired of clean clothes that just don t smell clean? downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh way longer than detergent alone. if you want laundry to smell fresh for weeks, make sure you have downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters. hi there, everyone. it is 4:00 in new york. welcome to monday. we are just hours away from a vote by the house select committee on january 6th to recommend contempt charge force trump s exwhite house chief of staff, mr. mark meadows. a vote is set to come 24 hours after that committee jumped a bombshell of a report detailing their case of contempt which includes details of descriptions of some of the potentially
was a complete and utter breakdown of the normal processes that these decisions get made. you have usually a clear complain of command. what emerged in this murky picture of report asking document production is a completely chaotic situation where you had civilians, you know, political figures like kash patel, installed as chief of staff over at pentagon and mark meadows kind of ad libbing it over the course of the day at the same time that the united states capitol, the heart of american democracy, is under assault for hours and we are all watching on television and nothing is happening. what is so important about this, it is not just the question of the mob that was at the capitol, it is everything that was going on around it to encourage or enable it. you are talking about the highest responsibility people in the government to keep americans
who sort of discovered him, his state sponsor is meadows. the report says meadows reportedly introduced trump to d.o.j. official jeffrey clark. clark went on to recommend that he be installed as acting attorney general and that d.o.j. should send a letter to state officials urging them to take certain actions that could affect the outcome of the november 2020 election by, among other things, appointing alternate slaifts electors to cast electoral votes for trump rather than president biden. so when we talk about the d.o.j. sort of parallel track that ran parallel to mr. rosen and mr. donahue, who were on the phone with trump receiving orders to declare the election corrupt, meadows was running the clark operation at d.o.j., it would appear. meadows was doing everything. and, you know, nicolle, i think this is a moment where we need to step back and make sure people understand who mark

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
