Mark Meadows found Trump’s plot to coup the 2020 election convenient because he never lawfully lived in the district he represented in the US House. Meadows had reasons to look the other way.
What is hideous about Trump’s ambitions to be at the Capitol to the point where he assailed his own Secret Service agent is the reality was it was a mob. No matter how much Trump believes “these are my people” his survival of the day was not guaranteed. If January 6th went very wrong everyone including Trump could have been dead and the power of the country would have fallen to the Governors to instill Marshall Law while linking to the military.
The reality is that if one AR-15 made it into the Joint Session with everyone still there and Trump and his entourage present everyone could be dead. The entire governing body of the federal government could have been wiped away. White Supremacists were/are using Trump as a vehicle.
The Secretary of State is third in line with an intact federal government. The federal government would be in disarray.
