It seems like the punishments being meted out have had a chilling effect on further violence.

March 4th. March 24th is the financial records falsification trial. Which will more than likely be affected by the federal trial.

I don't get this very typical, and pretty consistent behavior from the higher up MAGAts...these guys are NOT stupid. They are obviously corrupt, and don't bat an eye at doing "whatever it takes" whether that breaks norms, boundaries or laws, probably because like Trump, they can't even conceive of getting caught. Or the "payout" is too big compared to the risk of being caught. They KNOW they are doing wrong.

So WTF is up with this absurdity:

"Meadows said, “There is a role for the chief of staff to make sure those campaign goals and objectives are implemented at the federal level.”
As the author says:
"That’s balderdash; the Hatch Act prohibits such activity."

WTF was he thinking here? Is this 4D chess where he doubles down on pretending not to know what he did was wrong, by directly stating a lie that's easily debunked by the law?

I'm flummoxed, and maybe that's also one of his goals if whatever other legal spaghetti he throws at the wall doesn't stick.
