I respect the decision but disagree with the analysis.

@joshgerstein
A family friend of Mark Meadows has been charged with accepting an illegal campaign contribution during an ill-fated 2020 run to succeed the former Trump White House chief of staff in Congress, according to newly-released court papers.
Lynda Bennett, who lost in a 2020 Republican primary campaign to Madison Cawthorn, accepted a contribution from a family member totaling at least $25,000, according to charging paperwork filed by prosecutors. That contribution was given “in the name of another person,” according to the papers, signed by U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves and Corey Amundson, chief of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section.

I think that tfg found a willing stooge in Meadows, got him to do many many bad things, and this is just the tip of the iceberg for him.
Remember ANOM? I don’t know about you but I lmao when I first heard about it and promptly forgot about it.
The ransom wear collective HIVE was caught because of ANOM. McGonigal’s arrest? Yup, ANOM.
Meadows and the rest can run but they can’t hide.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANOMThe ANOM (also stylized as AN0M or ΛNØM) sting operation (known as Operation Trojan Shield (stylized TRØJAN SHIELD) or Operation Ironside) is a collaboration by law enforcement agencies from several countries, running between 2018 and 2021, that intercepted millions of messages sent through the supposedly secure smartphone-based messaging app ANOM. The ANOM service was widely used by criminals, but instead of providing secure communication, it was actually a trojan horse covertly distributed by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP), enabling them to monitor all communications.

The publisher of Mark Meadows' book "The Chief's Chief" filed a lawsuit in Sarasota, FL Circuit Court today for making numerous false statements in the book.
All Seasons Press is asking for the $350,000 advance they paid to Meadows, $600,000 in additional compensatory damages for expenses, and $1 million in reputational damages suffered by the company for their association with Meadows.
The lawsuit alleges that the publisher expressed concerns with lies in the book very early on and withheld installments that were supposed to be paid even after being threatened by Meadows' attorneys.
The company alleges that once news broke that Meadows was cooperating with prosecutors on October 24, sales bottomed out and the book only sold 60,000 copies. The company based the advance it paid to Meadows on anticipated sales of at least 200,000 copies.

Meadows wanted to move his GA case from state to federal court, saying he was a federal officer. His hearing in front of the 5th cir panel was today. This publication thinks it doesn't look good for him based on this from Pryor (who was AG of AL and super duper conservative):

During the arguments, Pryor pointed to one section of the removal statute that says nothing about “former” federal officials being able to transfer criminal cases out of state courts. That section applies only to current federal officials, he said.
And Pryor said there may have been a reason why Congress did not include former federal officials in the removal statute.
“It might well be that Congress could rationally assume that there’s a heightened reason for removal, where you’re dealing with a current officer, because it involves ongoing operations of the federal government,” Pryor said. “… That heightened concern might not exist where you have a a former officer because it doesn’t involve the ongoing operations of the government.”

Just to clarify this is an appeal by Meadows. He already lost his case to remove in federal district court. Sounds like he will lose on appeal too.

Thank you, yes. This saga has been going so long and there are so many characters in this drama! This should be the end of the road for him.

It was a great read, but there's nothing surprising at all in there. I've known so many of those folks like him: they say whatever the person in front of them wants to hear, even if they say the exact opposite 5 minutes later to someone else. They lie like they breathe. He lucked out in being in real estate right when Cashiers was exploding. It's a very nice little town, but now it's become a place for rich people 2nd home and locals are getting priced out (like a lot of place in WNC). I guess I'm one of them because I do have a second home in WNC, but I bought it in the early 2000s and it's not fancy.
But Meadows - he's one of my most hated characters after shithead himself. I have not read Hutchinson's book Enough, so I don't know if she spills any tea on him but certainly she saw what a disgusting liar and morally bankrupt person he is. And that line from his wife on Air Force One! Holy delusional ambition, Batman!
The worst part of this is that everything seems to slide off him, slippery eel that he is. I hope he gets nailed in the GA case.

(Bloomberg) -- A liberal group alleges former White House Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows’ nonprofit employer funneled money to an organization paying his legal bills while he was being investigated for efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to a complaint filed with the Washington DC Attorney General Wednesday.
The group, Accountable.US, claims the Conservative Partnership Institute improperly enriched Meadows in violation of its nonprofit status by giving a $1.2 million grant to another nonprofit, which in turn gave a similar amount to a third entity that provided legal defense funding to Meadows, according to the filing.
The group is asking the District of Columbia’s Attorney General, who has the power to dissolve nonprofit groups that aren’t operating in the public interest, to break up the Conservative Partnership Institute and the nonprofit it gave the funds to, Personnel Policy Operations.
The Washington DC, Attorney General, Meadows and the Conservative Partnership Institute didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Conservative Partnership Institute is a central player in a sprawling network of conservative groups preparing for a second Donald Trump administration. Meadows, who was previously Trump’s chief of staff and a longtime adviser to the former president, is a leader of the group. CPI paid him $846,887 in 2022, a high salary for heads of nonprofits and about $200,000 more than any other employee, according to public tax filings.

I was curious who else the Conservative Partnership Institute was paying north of $600k besides Meadows, so I looked up their 990. It's former Tea Party Senator James DeMint. Here's the 990 is you want to research further: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprof ... 07579/full

Mark Meadows’ lawyers say they’ve asked the Supreme Court this weekend to take up his bid to move the Georgia election subversion prosecution against him to federal court, where the former White House chief of staff to ex-President Donald Trump would bring arguments that he is entitled to immunity from the charges.
“It is hard to imagine a case in which the need for a federal forum is more pressing than one that requires resolving novel questions about the duties and powers of one of the most important federal offices in the Nation,” Meadows’ lawyers wrote in the new filing, which pointed to the justices’ recent ruling that gave Trump some immunity in the federal election subversion prosecution.
The US 11th Circuit Court of Appeals said last year that the Georgia prosecution against Meadows should move forward in state court, concluding that former federal officials are not covered by that statute “removing” state cases against government officials to federal court. Chief Judge William Pryor’s opinion for the court also said that “the events giving rise to this criminal action were not related Meadows’s official duties.”
Since that December ruling, Meadows has obtained multiple extensions on his deadline to ask the Supreme Court to review the dispute. In the meantime, the high court’s conservative majority handed down the immunity ruling earlier this month that said Trump had at least “presumptive” immunity for any of his official acts as president that were targeted in the federal criminal charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith. That case, which was brought in Washington, DC, will go back to the trial court for the judge to sort out which alleged acts in Smith’s indictment are subject to presidential immunity under the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Meadows’ new filing repeatedly referred to the Trump ruling, with his lawyers writing that “a White House Chief of Staff facing criminal charges based on actions relating to his work for the President of the United States should not be a close call—especially now that this Court has recognized that federal immunity impacts what evidence can be considered, not just what conduct can form the basis for liability.”
