As much as I want to see Meadows in prison (and I want that so very very much), can you imagine if he was flipped? The stories! oh the stories he could tell.

I supposed everyone involved in Jan 6 is making some sort of calculus along the lines of, "Can I stay out of prison for the next couple years, until Trump is back in the presidency and can pardon me?" But for Meadows, apparently he _already_ asked for a pardon and didn't get one. Thus it seems like his only recourse is to ask for immunity and testify. We already know he's a coward and morally bankrupt, so it shouldn't take much work for the Justice Dept to persuade him.
At least, that's the sort of vision I like to indulge in. These days it's hard to be cheerful about anything.
And a postscript - Yes we all want Trump to be held accountable. But dang it there are so many other people who also need some justice served on their a55es...
Mark Meadows is dishonest to his core. Even if he flips, he'd just as likely lie to the committee or to DOJ. Still...I have this fantasy that the reason they did the unexpected hearing and we heard so much from Cassidy Hutchinson was that DOJ was getting close to indicting Meadows.
