Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows texted with at least 34 members of Congress about both legal and extralegal means that could be used by former President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election, according to a new report from Talking Points Memo.
South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman, for example, called for invoking Marshall [sic] Law! in a Jan. 17 text to Meadows, three days before President Joe Bidens inauguration. Texas Rep. Brian Babin, meanwhile, told Meadows on Nov. 6 that when we lose Trump we lose our Republic.
Were with you down here in Texas and refuse to live under a corrupt Marxist dictatorship, Babin wrote. Fight like hell and well find a way.
Meadows received at least 364 text messages from GOP members of Congress about overturning the results and sent nearly 100 of his own, Talking Points Memo reported. Meadows texts were obtained by the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the events leading up to it.
The text messages provide further evidence that the Trump administrations effort to steal the 2020 election was backed by many rank and file House Republicans, most of whom are still in Congress. Come January, these Republican politicians will find themselves in the House majority.

The hundreds of text messages to and from Mark Meadows were ongoing - even AFTER January 6th. Didn't these assholes realize they'd be investigated? Why weren't they smart enough to use burner phones?

(49,002 posts)By copy-pasting a nonsensical statement of a meaningless factoid because you provide no context and perhaps have no real viewpoint. How are we to know? You want to incite some outrage but can't say it? You don't dare provide some information because other will contest that with debunking or counter-info or other facts? Nothing new to say? The last 20 posts or so I can remember seeing of yours have all been copies of this one or "LIKE".
It's more than 22 months since Jan. 6, since Jan 21, 2021.
So? It's not as if nothing happened.
You really can do better.
What are you up to?

Or maybe it's what comes out of it that makes him leave.
Naaa, couldn't be that.
In January, GOP should investigate the anti-dog emanations from the demon portals of Marshall!

Babin graduated from Lamar University in 1973 and served as an officer in the United States Air Force from 1975 to 1979, leaving with the rank of captain. While serving, he earned a B.S. in biology from Lamar University in 1975[2] and then enrolled in the University of Texas Dental Branch and graduated with his D.D.S. in 1976.[3] To pay for his tuition, he worked as a janitor, merchant seaman and postman and sang folk and country music in local restaurants with his wife Roxanne, whom he met in college.[3][4]
