No amount of lying can take away the fear captured in Mark Meadows' phone on Jan. 6

by Hayes Brown 

Multiple Fox News hosts pretend that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was no big deal — or even a false-flag operation from the left. But text messages they sent former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows indicate that they were afraid of what was happening and wanted President Donald Trump to call the riot off.

Those text messages sent to Meadows prove that the Jan. 6 investigation isn't over, Hayes Brown writes. "There remain new details with the capacity to shock," Brown writes. "They remind us that there are still things to be uncovered about what was happening in the Oval Office those hours people in Trump's orbit were begging him to intervene."
