Mark Meadows may now see just how much danger he’s in.

Within a week of the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago, a search that turned up some of the most protected information in the United States government, a search that found 43 empty top-secret files (!), strongly implying that the information in them had already been “sold” or at least “used,” Mark Meadows apparently figured out that he might face even more consequences than he thought.

As this site has said since May 17th, the files case in Florida is – by far – the most serious case that Trump faces because it is so easily proven, so serious, and so open-ended. Why? Why risk the obvious implications? Why continue to take risks when it was obvious that something would eventually be done? Top Secret/SCI files can’t be floating anywhere except SCIF rooms.

Within a week of the FBI search of former President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago resort, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows handed over texts and emails to the National Archives that he had not previously turned over from his time in the administration, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

Meadows’ submission to the Archives was part of a request for all electronic communications covered under the Presidential Records Act. The Archives had become aware earlier this year it did not have everything from Meadows after seeing what he had turned over to the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021. Details of Meadows’ submissions to the Archives and the engagement between the two sides have not been previously reported.

“It could be a coincidence, but within a week of the August 8 search on Mar-a-Lago, much more started coming in,” one source familiar with the discussions said.

There are no coincidences when it comes to Trump. None. It is all crumbling down, the only wall that Trump ever built, the one that held back the truth about his life and his real priorities.

It was always about him, personally, and now Meadows is taking care of himself, personally.
