this committee category. meadows is a prolific texter, nicole. when he was up here on capitol hill, he was someone i used to text as often as i could because he generally knew what was going on, and he always wanted to talk about it, whether he knew or he didn t know. if they are looking at mark meadows s text messages, they are looking at realtime conversations from that day. so, i do put that in the good news category. but again, i don t think it s unreasonable to say that while they have gotten, according to congresswoman cheney, 300 interviews in the can, some of these big fish have continued to evade them, and i know there s real frustration about bannon, for example, that that trial won t even start until july. now, they were probably never going to get testimony from steve bannon, but the ability to threaten real consequences, committee members know is central to convincing other people who might want to protect legal careers or political careers that they are better off testify
