2020-12-26 · January 6 / DOJ leadership pressure / Committee-preserved communications
Select Committee record preserves Perry–Meadows messages urging action around Jeffrey Clark before January 6
COMMITTEE-PRESERVED COMMUNICATIONS — NOT RATEDNo numerical Truthscope score is assigned while this remains a public-record or unresolved proceeding.
What is being said
The Select Committee’s published introductory/final-report material cites messages in which Perry told Meadows on December 26 that time was running out before January 6 and urged him to call Jeffrey Clark; later cited messages include Perry asking whether Meadows had called Clark and asking Meadows to call him immediately after speaking with Clark.
What the record shows
The committee’s published source notes identify specific Meadows-production messages, including Dec. 26 texts saying “We gotta get going” and “you should call Jeff,” a Dec. 28 “Did you call Jeff Clark?” message, and a Jan. 2 request to be called immediately after Meadows spoke with Clark. The same committee record describes Perry as involved in efforts to elevate Clark at DOJ. Jeffrey Clark, when questioned by the committee about whether Perry introduced him to Trump and related matters, invoked the Fifth Amendment. Invoking the Fifth is a constitutional right and is not treated here as evidence of guilt. These are committee-preserved communications and committee findings, not a criminal conviction of Perry.
Response / rebuttal
Perry objected to the Select Committee’s subpoena and disputed the committee’s authority and framing. The site therefore presents the underlying cited messages and the committee’s characterization separately, without inferring that every communication was unlawful or that Perry was criminally responsible for Clark’s conduct.
Limits / uncertainty: The committee report materials quote and cite messages from the Meadows production, but this record is not a substitute for a criminal adjudication and does not assign criminal intent from political or legal advocacy alone. The Clark transcript adds context about the questions investigators asked, but Clark’s Fifth Amendment invocations do not establish the truth of the propositions embedded in those questions.
