BOMBSHELL: Mark Meadows Sent Email on Jan 5th Telling National Guard to Protect Trump Supporters

By

It was just last week that Mark Meadows was on Sean Hannity’s show telling us that he would not violate executive privilege and then violated executive privilege by assuring Sean Hannity that, yes, absolutely Trump had arranged for the National Guard to be on standby and to be called out.

Right. Meadows just didn’t note that the National Guard would be on standby to “protect Trump supporters,” not “Americans” or peaceful protesters, just to protect Trump supporters from… Antifa? BLM? The Capitol Police?

According to Politico:

Mark Meadows indicated in a Jan. 5 email that the National Guard was on standby to “protect pro Trump people,” according to documents obtained by the House committee investigating the Capitol riot, which the panel described in a public filing Sunday night.

The context for the message is unclear, but it comes amid intense scrutiny of the Guard’s slow response to violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and conflicting timelines about their efforts from the Pentagon and National Guard leadership.

So under the Trump administration, all Americans are created equal, only Trump supporters get the National Guard called out to protect it.

The committee also wanted the court to know that it had a text message in which Meadows was directly told a Senator that Pence needed to overturn the Electoral College:

…“We would have asked him about text messages sent to and received from a Senator regarding the Vice President’s power to reject electors, including a text in which Mr. Meadows recounts a direct communication with President Trump who, according to Mr. Meadows in his text messages, quote, ‘thinks the legislators have the power, but the VP has power Too.”

We are going to hear so much more in the next month and yet there Merrick Garland sits, day after day, not even having ordered an investigation into this, at least not one that Adam Schiff is aware of.

Amazing.
