“Mark, in seeing what’s happening so quickly, and reading about the Dominion law suits attempting to stop any meaningful investigation we are at a point of no return in saving our Republic !! Our LAST HOPE is invoking Marshall Law [sic]!! PLEASE URGE TO PRESIDENT TO DO SO!!” Republican South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman wrote in a text to former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on January 17th, 2021, among the thousands obtained by Talking Points Memo from what was likely a sanctioned leak from the House January 6th Select Committee as they wind down.
Remember, this was three days before Trump left office and eleven days after the Capitol riot, and this asshole was STILL begging Meadows to get Trump to declare “marshall law.” There’s plenty more in the TPM article, and we’ll expand on the further lowlights they picked out.
