    Fox is like church. People tune in to get talking points to argue for things they know inside can't be true.

    Pravda
    • Dependability - Pravda always meets your expectations.
    • Consistency - Pravda hasn't changed its philosophy since 1912
    • Transparency - Even if Pravda doesn't reveal the sources of information, you know who they are. Or were in cases of recent death by 'accidental prolonged torture'
    NOTE to the overly twitchy this is written as humor. I've never seen Pravda

    You win!! At least Pravda has a Russian name so you can tell what it is. Global Times sounds more British than Chinese.

    This could be interesting.
    Mark Meadows, then-President Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff at the time of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, is cooperating with the House committee investigating the pro-Trump insurrection, committee chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) said Tuesday.

    “Mr. Meadows has been engaging with the Select Committee through his attorney,” Thompson said in a statement. “He has produced records to the committee and will soon appear for an initial deposition.”

    Meadows is the highest-profile member of Trump’s inner circle who is known to be cooperating or who the committee has publicly acknowledged is cooperating. Committee members have previously said that many people with connections to the events of that day have voluntarily engaged with investigators, but they have not specified who these individuals are or how high up they were in the Trump administration.

    Thompson, in his statement, said the House committee “expects all witnesses, including Mr. Meadows, to provide all information requested and that the Select Committee is lawfully entitled to receive.”

    “The committee will continue to assess his degree of compliance with our subpoena after the deposition,” Thompson concluded.

    CNN first reported news of Meadows’s cooperation.

    Details of the deal Meadows struck with the committee were not made public. Meadows’s lawyer, George Terwilliger III, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. While Meadows has now produced records to the committee and will sit before it, he could still attempt to claim executive privilege to protect certain pieces of information, making the cooperation fragile.

    The bipartisan committee is investigating the attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob determined to stop the affirmation of Joe Biden’s presidential win. The riot left five people dead and injured some 140 members of law enforcement who faced a barrage of sticks, bear spray, flagpoles and other items used as weapons.

    Earlier this month, White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su sent a letter to Terwilliger, notifying him that President Biden will not assert executive privilege or immunity over the documents and deposition requested by the House Select committee related to his client.

    As Thompson issued his statement on Meadows, federal judges were questioning whether Trump has the power to go to court to keep White House documents secret from the congressional committee. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit expressed skepticism about the role of the courts in settling disputes between a former president and the sitting president over the release of White House records.

    Meadows was subpoenaed by the committee at the end of September and has been “engaged” with investigators to negotiate the terms of his deposition and turning over of documents. The pace of these discussions, however, caused the committee to weigh more aggressive measures against him.

    On Twitter, Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), a member of the committee, said Meadows “has a legal and moral obligation to cooperate with our committee.”

    “I’m glad he has now agreed to appear and has already provided documents,” Schiff said. “We will evaluate the extent of his compliance after his testimony. We must reveal the full truth of what led to January 6.”

    The news on Meadows’ cooperation deal comes a day after the select committee announced that it will move to hold Jeffrey Clark, a top official in the Trump Justice Department, in criminal contempt for not complying with its subpoena. A committee vote is expected Wednesday. Meadows’s decision to cooperate could spare him the same treatment.

    Stephen K. Bannon, a former Trump adviser, was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena.
