This man is dangerous. He gets zero points for doing the right thing.
- They sell books to launder money, not for the content.
  
  People don't really read those. They are bought in bulk by their own PACs to funnel donor money to them. The PAC hands the books out at events and someone shoves it into their bookshelf where it collects dust.
- I'm pissed they gave him immunity. This fucker deserves to fry. Hopefully he'll get disbarred for violating AC privilege.
- Yeah but he's on the show "whose country is it anyway?" Where the claims are made up and the points don't matter.
- Nobody sings like Aretha, fool!
  
  That’s goddamn right!
- Respect
- I hope so, but I think he'll end up disappointing us all.
  
  If he is in fact granted immunity, it will be for the whole shebang and he won't have a choice. Jack Smith won't give him a deal simply on the basis of his word. If he wants to be a cooperating witness he'll have to supply the goods and there will be a process of investigating and fact-checking and corroborating everything he says. Basically, there will be no backing out.
Immunity this high up on the food chain doesn't feel right to me. Maybe if they really don't think they can nail Trump without him. Maybe. But this guy was one of the most instrumental in the coup. I would have felt a lot better if it was a much reduced sentence but still jail time. Same with Powell.
- Yeah, sigh. That said, while I don't love it, if this is what it takes to take the orange bastard down for good, I'm all for it. It's just too important.
  
  Agreed it's the most important part. And it's going to have to be very well done clear cut evidence to make him face series repercussions, so I'm with that. But man I hate seeing these insurrectionists facing no significant punishment. People storming the capital are facing years in prison while the people who orchestrated it go free.
- While trump is clearly the target, the fact that such key figures can still escape justice is a clear display of the two tiered justice system. Wtf America, we knew you were gross but come on, they ATTEMPTED A COUP.
- My only hope is that there's more to come with other lawsuits he's attached to
We know he was actively complicit. Hope the plea is contingent on a conviction
Hell yeah, Trump is throwing ketchup at everything today.
- Someone help me out, is Meadows still exposed in the GA case? I’m pretty sure he is. He’s not immune to everything being fired at him, right?
  
  He is, assuming he isn't already finishing a plea deal with Willis. Meadows 100% deserves to go away for life with his co-conspirators, but at least he will be 80%+ of the nails in Trump's federal coffin with this immunity deal.
Bwahahaha!!!
This is too funny watching Trump's house of cards collapsing.
This sounds big.
Here’s the thing: I don’t think I can believe a word he says because I believe he’d say anything to save his own skin, but I also believe he wouldn’t have to lie to save his own skin and that he has plenty to dish to bury Trump, which is how he got full immunity.
I also don’t care I he’s lying if it lands Trump in jail. But I know he doesn’t have to.
