Mark Meadows has generally been the smartest of Trump's co-defendants. It looks as if he might be able to avoid criminal conviction without giving up too much. Everyone thought he was crazy taking the stand trying to have his case removed from the Georgia State. But he said nothing he hadn't already said to the January 6th committee where he had been granted use immunity. That means nothing he said to the committee could be used in any way by any government authority. So even if he is convicted in Georgia, there is a very good possibility his conviction will be overturned on Appeal.

Still, he is facing trial there which will cost him money in legal bills at the very least.

But today, we find out Meadows is being sued by his book publisher because he lied in his book. In the book Meadows claimed that Trump won the election. But this is contradicted by his testimony to the January 6th committee.

His publisher says this news caused sales to crater. And because they expected sales to the MAGA faithful they paid him a handsome advance. They want thir money back.

I think I was about five of age when I discovered that when you start lying it eventually comes very difficult to keep your further lies consistent with what you have already said. Apparently, some people never learn this.

(I also found out that, if you tell the truth, nobody believes you anyway. :( )
 
The Publisher is going to lose the case - they knew it was a lie, and they knew Meadow was a good person to tell it.
That's why the paid him.
 
I can hear Meadows' lawyer defending him in the lawsuit.

  • Lawyer: "So Mr. Meadows, the book is based on your political belief that donald trump did indeed win the 2020 election?"
  • Meadows: "Yes."
  • Lawyer: "As opposed to your literal belief that he lost?"
  • Meadows: "Exactly, yes."
  • Lawyer: "So politically you believe trump won in 2020 and your political belief has not changed?"
  • Meadows: "It has not."
  • "Lawyer: "While at the same time you concede, an objective belief, that he lost?"
  • Meadows: "Yes."
  • Lawyer: "I have no more questions."

;)
