OK, let us say we split the difference in lost sales. The publisher takes a loss and Meadows covers the rest of it. Only fair.

If this is any indication of the situation with the republican base, things will definitely get interesting if Trump is disqualified, more so after he is convicted and jailed. He will be going down in court right in the middle of the GOP primaries, disqualified or not and he will be endorsing and attacking GOP candidates on the way down. He will cause chaos in the GOP primaries as he freaks out and squirms about going to prison. Even when he is in prison, he will still own 30% of the republican base minimum and have them at his command.

Delicious. Meadows is worthless as a witness and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.Move to the Fiction category? All Seasons Press? Is that located next to the sex shop?
Mark Meadows sued by book publisher over false election claims
The publisher of Mark Meadows’s book is suing the former White House chief of staff, arguing in court filings Friday morning that he violated an agreement with All Seasons Press by including false statements about former President Trump’s claims surrounding the 2020 election.
“Meadows, the former White House Chief of Staff under President Donald J. Trump, promised and represented that ‘all statements contained in the Work are true and based on reasonable research for accuracy’ and that he ‘has not made any misrepresentations to the Publisher about the Work,’” the publishing company writes in its suit, filed in court in Sarasota County, Fla.
Meadows’s book, “The Chief’s Chief,” was published in 2021 and spends ample time reflecting on the election.
“Meadows’ reported statements to the Special Prosecutor and/or his staff and his reported grand jury testimony squarely contradict the statements in his Book, one central theme of which is that President Trump was the true winner of the 2020 Presidential Election and that election was ‘stolen’ and ‘rigged’ with the help from ‘allies in the liberal media,’ who ignored ‘actual evidence of fraud,’” the company writes in the filing.
According to Meadows’s testimony, as reported by ABC News, Trump was being “dishonest” with voters when he claimed victory on election night. ABC reported that Meadows admitted Trump lost the election when questioned by prosecutors.
He also told prosecutors he has yet to see any fraud in the 2020 election that would shift Trump’s loss to President Biden, ABC reported.
The suit notes that the opening sentence to one chapter in Meadows’s book was, “I KNEW HE DIDN’T LOSE.”
“Meadows breached those warranties causing ASP to suffer significant monetary and reputational damage when the media widely reported … that he warned President Trump against claiming that election fraud corrupted the electoral votes cast in the 2020 Presidential Election and that neither he nor former President Trump actually believed such claims.”
The suit comes after ABC News reported that Meadows received immunity to testify before a grand jury convened to hear evidence from special counsel Jack Smith, reportedly contradicting statements he made in his book.
The company is asking for the $350,000 it paid Meadows as an advance for the book, $600,000 in out-of-pocket damages, and at least $1 million each for reputational damage suffered by the company and loss of expected profits for the book, which they argue plummeted given Meadows’s involvement in numerous investigations regarding Jan. 6.
The suit reveals a long and tense relationship between Meadows and his publisher, which has published a suite of books from conservative figures.
In December 2021, All Seasons Press sent a letter to Meadows saying it would withhold the final of three $116,666 advance payments over concerns his book may contain false information. The suit also notes it planned to continue with publication “pending an investigation.”
A few days later the company got a letter from attorney Blake Meadows, whom the suit says is Meadows’s son, demanding the final installment.
“Mr. Meadows is aware of the specious allegations that were published regarding a portion of the book which was taken out of context, and which have already been addressed by both Mr. Meadows and former President Trump in multiple press releases,” Blake Meadows wrote, according to the suit.
All Seasons Press said it decided to publish the book “after conducting the appropriate due diligence and based upon repeated assurances from Meadows that facts in the Book were true.”
But it argues that as “rumors circulated in the media” that Meadows could be a cooperating witness with prosecutors, the book’s bottom line was harmed.
“As a result, public interest in the Book, the truth of which was increasingly in doubt, precipitously declined, and ASP sold only approximately 60,000 of the 200,000 first printing of the Book,” the suit states.
A request for comment made to Meadow’s attorney in the election interference case was not immediately returned, nor was a message left with Blake Meadows.
Meadows has previously suggested portions of his book were inaccurate, including a detail about how Trump tested positive for COVID-19 days before his first debate against now-President Biden.
Trump denied the claim and called it “fake news,” which led Meadows to say during an interview in December 2021 that the claim from his own book was “fake news.”
Meadows has not been charged in the federal government’s election interference case, but he has been charged in a sprawling racketeering and election law case in Georgia.

Not too sure if he is worthless as a witness. If that were the case he would be sitting beside Donnie boy.

Mark might have receipts for some of it, he had a phone full and I'm sure he never burned everything in the fireplace. There are also other cooperating witnesses who can corroborate what he testifies to. IMO, he doesn't need Mark to nail Donald, but he might be useful to get others in congress, when Gym Jordan was calling Trump from the house floor on J6 (the one he was tongue tied about) was Mark in on the conversation? Mark would only get a deal from Jack if he were cleaned out of all useful information and agreed to testify against others, the feds drive a hard bargain. However, Mark knows where all the bodies are buried, and we have no clue as to how many other republicans he could implicate, but if he cuts a deal Jack will squeeze him dry.

You can say what you want in a book, under oath means a little bit more.

Book publisher sues Mark Meadows for millions, alleging his book is full of election fraud lies.
Just days after the January 6 insurrection, Donald Trump's Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, signed a book deal to write a memoir about the 2020 election, among other topics.
Well now, Meadows' book publisher is suing him, alleging that the book is full of lies about non-existent election fraud, lies that parroted the ones that were being told - and are still being told - by Donald Trump.
This is a little something called . . . karma.

He has to worry about more than perjury in Georgia and eventually with the feds. Deals with the feds are dependent on convictions, not just testimony, he's got to help nail them. He will do time but might not die in prison if he sings like a bird and especially if he sings about people in congress AND helps to convict them. The feds hard bargains are legendary and if Mark gets a walk a lot of people should sweat, and he won't get one until they are convicted.

Marjorie Taylor Greene got an embarrassing fact check on Thursday: Robert E. Lee wasn’t a Founding Father.
While defending an amendment to protect against the removal of monuments depicting the Founding Fathers on federal land, Greene notably lumped in the removal of the Confederate general’s image in Charlottesville as an example of how “Communist Democrats” have attempted to erase U.S. “culture, way of life, and history.”
“Actually, there should be no funds allocated to remove any monument, and there’s no necessary reason to remove the monuments,” Greene said. “This is the Democrats’ and the Biden administration’s effort to erase our history, just as they have done to the statue of Robert E. Lee. This is an outrage.”
Democratic Representative Chellie Pingree wasn’t convinced that the Georgia congresswoman knew her facts, however.
“Just to clear up a couple of things, my colleague mentioned the Founding Fathers. Robert E. Lee was not actually one of the Founding Fathers, he was a general of the Confederacy,” Pingree said.
The Maine Democrat also said she found it “rich” that the party focused on “book banning in our libraries, rewriting curriculum, not talking about our history over and over again, is the very one that is saying that we have to often keep painful monuments in places where they do damage, where they interfere with people’s ability to enjoy the particular area that they’re in.”
Laughter ensued.

If he is truthful. And at what cost? He's holding out for a free pass, no jail time. It only takes one juror to think he's lying. My guess is he's not needed to convict.

Or maybe…he’s the one who drops Greenie, Jordan, McCarthy, Thomas, Gaetz, Boob-oo, Biggs, the entire congressional overthrow posse into the fire. With ALL the receipts
I *STILL* want him punished as an example for going along w/ ANY of it…I mean, he didn’t notify & wire-up at the beginning, did he? I mean, he wasn’t a mole from the beginning, was he? That shit from his book suggests he was playing along for real…but sending those traitors OUT of Congress & into prison would be worth a lot. Just, not EVERYTHING
