The mainstream media favorite “Jan. 6 Selection Committee” has been found guilty of “selectively leaking” text messages given to it by former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in order to create the false narrative needed to indict former President Donald Trump, Newsmax reported.
“We’ve tried very hard, in [a] very transparent and accommodating way, to share non-privileged information,” Meadows said. “And what we found out tonight is that not only did that just get disregarded, but then they tried to weaponize text messages, selectively leaked them, to put out a narrative, quite frankly, that the president didn’t act.
“And I can tell you this: The president did act,” Meadows added.
Earlier this week the committee voted 9-0 to send a resolution to the House of Representatives, by which the Justice Department can be directed to charge Meadows with contempt of Congress.
“It’s not about holding me in contempt,” Meadows said. “It’s about coming after President Donald Trump, and sadly, that’s what tonight’s vote was all about.”
Meadows emphasized his willingness to cooperate with the fraudulent and partisan committee while still protecting the former President under his legal obligations to do so.
“We tried to help and accommodate,” Meadows continued. “The attorneys I had working with me worked on nonprivileged information. We said all along we were going to protect the president’s executive privilege. We continue to do so. We will continue to do that.”
Republicans on Twitter condemned Democrats for the selective use of texts which clearly exonerate a large number of involved parties:
Democrats have gone from “grand insurrection conspiracy requiring us to violate civil liberties of peaceful Americans, seize private communiques, persecute people for 1st Amendment-protected activities, etc.” to “no insurrection conspiracy and here are some texts proving that”

Just to get this straight, apparently every Fox News host plus Don Jr. was texting Mark Meadows to tell Trump to talk down the rioters…and this somehow demonstrates a coordinated conspiracy to overthrow the government springing from Fox News and its ilk?

Meadows also noted that Congress does not have the authority to direct him, rightly asserting that it is a matter for the Courts.
“We think that it’s a decision that the courts need to weigh in on,” Meadows said.
“Obviously, Congress thinks that I should waive the executive privilege,” he added. “It’s not mine to waive, and so we’re going to honor President Trump’s executive privilege claim until the courts tell us differently.”
