proceedings, he s really looking at hard time in a georgia jail that trump cannot pardon away. to john s point, maybe there s a solution for trump, but not the other 18. for what s important on monday, the judge has said, show me some evidence why you were in your official scope of responsibilities. as you say, wills will call raffensperger and his chief investigator, who will say, he s obviously pushing me to change an election result, that s against the law. what will meadows say to contradict it? i think it s pretty clear, he can t testify. he could maybe weave hi own way on direct, but he would be clobbered on cross-examination. he ll have to carry his burden with real evidence that doesn t include his own testimony. the stakes for him literally could not be higher.
