In a Wednesday evening update to their pretty fucking explosive story from earlier in the afternoon, the Independent adds a quote from disgraced former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ lawyer Sideshow George Terwilliger, who said the idea that his asshole client would enter into any plea agreement and flip on his Holy Orange God Emperor was “complete bullshit.”
Importantly however, Terwilliger “did not address the matter of immunity in a brief telephone conversation with this reporter,” wrote the Independent’s Andrew Feinberg, making it sound as if he definitely asked Terwilliger about it. Sometimes it’s what they don’t say that gives the game away.
Separately the Guardian’s Hugo Lowell reports that Jack Smith’s team told Trump’s lawyers last week that he’s a “target” of their investigation, which obviously isn’t quite as “Oh fuck this is definitely happening tomorrow” as Feinberg had reported earlier. Hold on to your butts.
