Meadows was ‘ringleader’ in effort to overturn 2020 election, Pence adviser says
thehill.com
An aide to former Vice President Mike Pence described former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows as the “ringleader” with much of the events that took place on Jan. 6, 2021.
Marc Short, Pence’s former chief of staff, said Meadows was “central” in efforts to overturn the 2020 election on Jan. 6. Though Meadows was not charged in the Justice Department’s federal case, he was charged alongside former President Trump with racketeering and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer in the Fulton County, Ga., election case.

Don’t get me wrong, I want them all to rot in prison, but Meadows better not end up being the fall guy here.
His behavior recently seems to indicate that he really doesn’t want to go to jail. I’d bet he’s singing like a canary to get a reduced sentence.
It's kinda hard to see Meadows as the fall guy when the Trump call to Secretary of State (Ga) Ratzenberger exists, there shouldn't be any questions when the jury hears that phone call because it's indisputable proof that Trump was leading the pressure campaign to overturn Georgia's election results.
It's proof he was involved. It's not proof he was the leader.
