Now that Mark Meadows has changed his mind and decided to get indicted for criminal contempt instead of continuing to cooperate with the January 6th Committee, the defeatists are busy trying to spin this as a win for him and a loss for the committee. Meadows certainly isn’t winning; he’s going to prison. And now it turns out the committee is in fact winning big when it comes to its interactions with Meadows.
During that brief period where Meadows was cooperating, it turns out it wasn’t some kind of secret double agent trick; he really was cooperating. Legal analyst Elie Honig is now reporting this:
File this under "Big Damn Deal": Meadows has produced documents to the 1/6 Committee about "appointing alternate electors," launching a "direct and collateral attack" on election results, and "options for January 6."

All of this came from the inner sanctum of the White House.
