(25,338 posts)Woodward and Costa book, Peril, to refresh myself on Meadows and the insurrection.
Early in the book, they say that Milley was suspicious of Meadows as possibly a supporter of Trump's claim that he won. Milley was trying to organize a small group of leaders to ensure a peaceful transition. He considered Trump a serious threat.
According to the book, Meadows remained in his office in the early stage of the insurrection. He later joined Kellogg and various aides in the Oval office to decide on damage control and supported the idea of the video that Trump released.
At one point, Meadows complained that the National Guard was too slow to respond.
After the insurrection was over and the second impeachment began, several people in government felt that Meadows was downplaying the 1/6 events and not taking them seriously.
I am sure that Costa and Woodward did not uncover all there was to know, but I don't know what Meadows can add to the current investigation.
