Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows is trying to shovel out his barn but he is no Hercules. His book 'Chief of the chief' went on sale to the consternation of Trump and has caused Mark to now call his own book to be fake news. Now it looks like he will go to jail for not showing up in contempt of Congress. Courts have ruled against his claims of executive priviledge. Is he the first rat to be trapped on the sinking ship of insurrection?

I am hopeful my side bet on a failure of democracy will be lost.
Too many failures of the coup and an honorable judiciary appear to be the saving grace.

Some say Mark Meadows is the John Dean of the former president. More bad news for Donald is that his tax returns can finally be scrutinized by the 1-6 commitee and his accountant is testifying against him.
