there is another ben coming up with news from tpm, pm, iwill ben coming up with news from tpm, pm, i sarah keith lucas. are widespread and fairly prolonged cold snap of december weather is set to continue for a few more days. last night was the coldest night of the yearin night was the coldest night of the year in both scotland and england. this was the picture earlier on in northumberland, beautiful blue skies above a wintry scene there. but the weather is continuing to cause some disruption, certainly icy stretches which will last for the next few days. more wintry showers are mainly but not exclusively in scotland, a cold northerly wind developing but improved visibility and losing mist and fog. the blue colours, cold air mass still with us at the moment and you can see winds coming from the north. as we had to the weekend, notice the yellow and orange colours approaching, looks like things will turn milder by around about sunday. and wetter too. before we get there, lots of wintry weather still to get out of the way. rain towards the far south—west, could be snowfall for the like

now, we should point out nbc news has not independently confirmed the texts published by tpm. what does appear clear, however, is while the texts showed varying degrees of involvement by those members of congress, the communications provide an explanation of how republican members participated in undermining people's faith in democracy. and how many of them bought into the fantasy that trump had actually won. ultimately, riling up a crowd that became violent and attacked the capitol where they were also forced to run and hide. perhaps more concerning is that a number of these same insurrectionist members of congress will find themselves elevated to positions of power when republicans retake control of the chamber in january. and joining me now is hunter walker, one of the investigative reporters for talking points memo who reviewed the texts to mark meadows. hunter, it is good to see you. let's go into this because let me read you one text. this is a text to mark meadows on january 5th, right before the insurrection. and this is from representative rick allen of georgia. mark,

josh is part of the tpm team who have teamed the mark meadow messages to overturn the results of the 2020 election. josh, good to see you. thanks for being here tonight. >> thanks for having me, alex. >> so is this why mark meadows fought the subpoena? these aren't all of the emails. these are just ones he chose to release. what can you tell us about that selection? >> in my view, italy-gate conspiracy theory, the fact that these wild, completely baseless theories were being spread among the highest levels of the government. in a sense this is what they the committee had access to. i think that in itself tells you that things out there much more damaging. we have evidence in the texts themselves, scott perry who you just mentioned is constantly references chats on signal, the encrypted messaging app. and we even have evidence this week to suggest that the regular sms messages handed over to congress, that isn't a complete record. there's more out there. and it's hard to understand that it's the official record of what's out there. >> from what you have seen, with the caveat this is n

but seeing them all in one place at tpm tonight really is something. particularly because republicans are about to take power in the house which means they're imminently about to shut down the work of the january 6 investigation. i mean, in addition to congressman ralph norman of south carolina calling for march martial law, calling for the u.s. military to keep president trump in power, there is a republican congressman from tennessee telling white house chief of staff mark meadows that republican legislature should just overrule the vote in their states and proclaim trump the winner. congressman mark green of tennessee told the white house chief of staff that should happen in various republican controlled states because he described a guest on news max as saying that was a legal possibility. also, a north carolina congressman pushing the same strategy. congressman greg murphy of north carolina pushing the same strategy as green. cut and pasted from a white wing website in his case. also another north carolina congressman suggesting to mark meadows, t

josh is part of the tpm team that a obtain the drove of mark meadows messages, and was reporting on theh members to overturn the results of the election results. josh is good to see. thanks for being with yours tonight. so is this why mark meadows fought congress's subpoena? these are giant just all of the emails, either once he chose to release. what can you tell us about that selection? >> i think most my view the most shocking view, the italy gate conspiracy is the fact that these wild can completely baseless theories were being spread of the highest levels of the american government. this is the good stuff. in a sense, this is what meadows edited and was willing to let the committee have access to. and i think that in itself tells you that there are at their there are much more damaging. we also have some evidence in the text themselves, scott perry who you just mentioned he is constantly referencing to the evidence in the encrypted messaging app. we also collected some evidence to suggest irregular estimates messages that were handed over to congress even that is not the complete r

tpm has asked for comment, for example, from many of the members cited. at least 30 member of congress texted meadow along various lines republican republican ralph norman wrote about an idea to invoke martial law saying we're at the point of no return, the last hope is invoking marshall law. please ask the president to do so. jim jordan, was texts on january 5th. that's of course insurrection eve, that there was an unconstitutionally appointed elector, like an unappointed statute is no elector at all. you'll notes that a baseline of the planned legalistic coup that they wanted to do the next day, means nobody ever entered the capital illegally they still wanted to unconstitutionally put forward fraudulent electors. brian backen said, went we lose trump, we lose our republic. fight like hell and find a way. you can a the conspiracy theories at the highest level of government. one of the things we try to report on concisely is the difference between the liars and the lied to. there are many people in the united states who have been told lies and they belie

but, seeing them all in one place at tpm, it's quite something. particularly because republicans are about to take power in the house, which means they are eminently about to shut down the work of the january 6th investigation. i mean, in addition to congressman norman, south carolina, calling for martial law calling for the u.s. hill tarry to install trump in power, even after january 6th happened, there's also a republican congressman from tennessee telling white house chief of staff mark meadows that republican legislatures should overrule the vote and proclaim drump the winner. mark green told the white house chief of staff that should happen in various republican controlled states, because he described a guest on news max saying it was a legal possibility. also, a north carolina congressman pushing the same strategy, congressman greg murphy of north carolina, the same strategy cut and pasted from a right wing and another north carolina congressman suggesting to mark meadows ted bud he suggested to white house chief of staff mark meadows that

tpm, which first broke the story about some of these texts, has four of them making pardon requests, one from georgia congressman hallen who exchanged about 30. he says, i know you're getting a lot of requests for pardons. this man worked with my dad and got the flynn treatment from the fbi. you have lawyers that write lawing they were about to violate, trying to help the outgoing defeated administration break those laws to perform a coup, while also trying to call in whatever you want to call it, a favor, a deal, a transaction, what some democrats used to call a quid pro quo, which is an overly fancy way of referring to bribery. i ask the question -- are you as a government official trying to swap to help with a coup for help with a pardon for your own people? the pardon power is not really reviewable. the constitution has things that make sense, have held up well, i don't know if that one makes sense. i don't know if they foresaw someone running for president right now, who had this help from inside the building on a failed coup, which is in and out out there publicly promising, da

your book "the breach, the untold story of the investigation of january 6th" hunter walker was out in tpmth 34 members of congress. if i remember correctly from your book and other conversations you've had, you were instrumental in bringing marks meadows' texts to light. a little of the back of this. meadows exchanged text messages with 34 republican members of congress. let's put up the full screen. these are some of the bullet points here. representative ralph norman texted meadows about invoking martial law, second lawmaker to put that in writing after marjorie taylor greene. congressman perry became consumed with conspiracies theories related to the election. he wrote about his efforts to set up a cyber team, i put quotes around that, that would seize voting machines around the country and put them under quote lock and key. a big proponent of installing jeffrey clark as attorney general. that would be mark meadows, i mean. also became fixated on italygate that italian satellites zapped voting machines and stole the election for joe biden. and mixing requests for presidential pardon, h
