23. To get to Trump we need to do what DOJ did for Watergate,

create a special grand jury. You can't start at the top to convict the top.

Let's look at Mark Meadows, the select committee sent a criminal referral 54 days ago. We have evidence in writing implicating Meadows in the plot to overthrow the election. Bring him before a grand jury, no excuses for executive privilege like we are going through now trying to get a conviction for contempt of Congress.

Let's look at Jeffrey Clark and John Eastman, they go before the select committee and plead the 5th 100 times. Bring them both before a grand jury, stop wasting time with this executive privilege bs. We have documents that Eastman wrote on overturning the election. Clarke wanted DOJ to send out bogus notices of election fraud.

The Watergate grand jury indicted numerous Nixon aides and cabinet members and named Nixon as an unindicted co-conspirator only because he was a sitting president.

Executive privilege does not apply when used to hide crimes.
