Did they flip? Jan. 6 committee member thinks Giuliani, Eastman and Meadows deserve target letters too

Mod: Are they targets of the investigation, or witnesses for the investigation of Trump?

Jan. 6 committee member thinks Giuliani, Eastman and Meadows deserve target letters too (Raw Storylink): Former President Donald Trump was given a target letter from the Justice Department on Sunday after its investigation into actions around the 2020 election and the attack on the Capitol– and a Jan. 6 committee member thinks he shouldn't be alone.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), who sat on the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 and the attempt to overthrow the election, listed off some of her observations to MSNBC host Peter Alexander, who asked who else deserves a target letter.

"I'm surprised that [Rudy] Giuliani apparently has not received one," she said. "We don't know about [John] Eastman. We don't know about [Mark] Meadows. Certainly, we refer not just to the ex-president but others. There's a lot of culpability among his top circles."

There have been legal debates over whether Giuliani could have made a deal with special counsel Jack Smith. Last week it was revealed he had a proffer agreement, a kind of pre-cooperation deal, with the Department of Justice. Meadows has remained largely quiet, and it was reported that Trump's allies have begun using a rat emoji when referring to him.

Former prosecutor warns Republicans defending Trump: ‘Evidence will be much stronger than people are anticipating’ (Raw Storylink): Law professor and former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance is warning Republicans, namely GOP presidential candidates, to think twice before going all-in on defending Donald Trump. The ex-president announced just hours ago announced he has been informed he is a “target” in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s grand jury investigation into his alleged actions attempting to overturn the 2020 election, including the events surrounding the January 6 insurrection.

“Prediction,” Vance, who is also an MSNBC/NBC News legal analyst, wrote via social media. “Jack Smith evidence, or what we see of it in his indictment, will be much stronger than people are anticipating. GOP presidential contender who continues to shill for Trump will be forced to do an about-face, perhaps not immediately, but it’s coming.”
