According to a massive new report from Rolling Stone, Donald Trump has basically had his
lawyers and aides spy on his former chief of Staff Mark Meadows, for this entire year,
as far as we know.
So here's what happened earlier this year.
The report points out Donald Trump sent his lawyers, his aides, everybody like, Hey, go
find out what is Mark doing?
And as we all know, Mark Meadows, of course, was the chief of staff during the 2020 election
and all of the horrible things that Trump did after the 2020 election.
So Mark Meadows was the central figure.
He was the guy getting the text messages.
He was the one working out the details and, oh, could we steal the voting machines?
Could we, could we work with this state to get them to overturn it?
Mark Meadows is central to all of those, uh, alleged crimes that may have happened.
And so of course, Trump is worried about that.
He wanted his people to go out, spy, get all the information they can to find out if Mark
Meadows is in fact cooperating with the feds.
Now, all of Trump's people have come back and said, we, we don't know like you
sent us on this fact finding mission, as they called it.
And we came back with nothing.
Like we had no idea what the guy's doing.
Well, it turns out one of the things that we don't know what he's doing, we do know
what he was doing because he was in fact, talking to the grand jury under oath.
So he did go and testify to them.
He spent a long time with them, and Trump's people somehow couldn't even figure that out.
The New York Times figured it out, but Trump's all the best people didn't even see that happening
under their nose when they're supposed to be keeping a watchful eye on Mark Meadows
.
But here's the funnier part.
The last year, Mark Meadows, according to sources in Trump world, became terrified that
Trump and his people were going to make Meadows the fall guy for everything that happened
in the run-up to January 6th and all the attempts to overturn the election.
So here's the thing, if Mark Meadows believed that Donald Trump was gonna throw him under
the bus, then Meadows at that point would go into self preservation mode, right?
Like, I'm not gonna be the guy to take the fall for all of this.
So what can I do to save myself?
Well, in that instance, the only thing that Meadows could do to save himself, instead
of him being thrown under the bus, he would have to find somebody to throw under the bus.
It was only one guy ahead of Mark Meadows, and that is Donald Trump, right?
It went Trump Meadows, all the underlings.
So if Meadows was gonna work out any kind of deal with the feds and cooperate with them,
the only person that he could turn on would be Donald Trump.
And if
He believed that Trump was ready to turn on him and make it all look like his fault, he
would rush to the uh, special grand jury to tell them that, no, no, no, no, no.
Here's what happened.
Like it was Trump's fault.
He made us do this.
He directed it.
It all came from the top.
And that is the most likely scenario.
I can't say it likely happened, but of all the possible scenarios, that does seem like
the most likely one.
If Meadows thought they were gonna flip on him, he was gonna flip on them first.
So Trump does have a reason to worry, but he wouldn't have a reason to worry if he didn't
think he did something illegal.
And that's the part of the stories that I think everybody always misses.
Like nobody happens to mention that, right?
You are not wor, you don't send your people out there to spy on your former chief of staff
because you're worried he's gonna flip on you if there wasn't something he could flip
about, right?
Like you don't worry about your kids falling off the trampoline outside when there's no
trampoline.
You know, if you're driving down the highway and you see a cop with a radar gun out there,
you don't think, oh, unless you're speeding.
So that's kind of what we're dealing with here with Donald Trump.
He's worried about something because he knows there's something.
And to me, that's the biggest part of the story.
He knows that people have intelligence on him that they could give to the feds that
would cause a lot of legal problems for him.
And it still blows my mind that people fail to mention that when they talk about it, or
of course when they write these stories.
This is a great piece by Rolling Stone, but you missed the big part.
And that is Trump clearly did something that he knows other people know about, and he's
worried that they told the Feds.
Sometimes, yes, these things are implied, but it's best to just say them outright so
people get a full understanding and don't have to read between the lines about how terrified
Trump is.
And of course, why he is
so terrified.
