How long before others who've refused to appear before the Jan 6th committee get indicted ? Or will they beg to appear now to escape getting charged, then refuse to answer using the 5th?

I still think the best case, so far, is his attempted interference in the Georgia election.

Yes, I know that prosecutions take time.

(143,999 posts)You are wrong in your analysis. Meadows and Bannon are relying on the claim of executive privilege and the SCOTUS ruled that even if TFG was still POTUS that claim is invalid and executive privilege does not apply. Watch the clip from Neal Katyal

"So that means that these two individuals really do have to go and talk to the investigators in Congress, but it also more significantly means the Trump signature move which is not just to hide these documents, but all these people from testifying on live televised hearings in Congress, he was going to invoke executive privilege for all that that's now decimated by the Supreme Court's ruling."
"So it's going to be very hard for all these folks, not just Bannon and Meadows, but (Trump lawyers Rudy) Giuliani and (John) Eastman and the whole cast of characters, to avoid having to testify," Katyal said. "They can try other arguments, like the Fifth Amendment and so on, but today is a real nail in the coffin for them."
