1. I could believe it.

That's in line with something that leapt out at me when I read one of the books that came out in the fall, either Betrayal or I Alone Can Fix It. As I recall the years Trump was in the White House, it seemed like Meadows managed to attract less attention than Priebus, Kelly or Mulvaney. But in one of those books--maybe both--Meadows was all over the place as an enabler extraordinaire. And maybe that's why he drew less attention.

The first three had their moments where they told Trump no and tried to stand up to him which resulted in Trump attacking them and going after them on Twitter. Meadows only ever asked "How high?" whenever Trump told him to jump, so he wasn't a target of Donny's ire as often.

ETA: It could have also been Landslide or Frankly, We Did Win This Election.
