Meadows Learning That Kharma's a Bitch

All Seasons Press is a publishing company that paid Meadows a $350,000 advance to write his smarmy supposed tell-all book about his time in Donald Trump's White House. Now they're suing him for that money back and a whole lot more.

After Meadows got limited immunity in order to compel his testimony to a grand jury investigating Donald Trump's attempts to nullify his 2020 presidential election loss, Meadows testified under oath that there was no evidence of "fraud" that would have put the election's results in doubt, that he repeatedly told Trump that the claims were baseless, and that Trump was "dishonest" when he claimed to have won the election.

The problem for All Seasons Press is that all of this directly conflicts with what Meadows claimed in his book had happened. In other words, Meadows lied his ass off when writing the book.  According to All Seasons' court filing, "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.’”

When you pay a habitual liar $350,000 to write a book, you can hardly act surprised when it turns out to be riddled with lies. It was fine when Meadows was lying but nobody could prove it; having him testify that his book was full of made-up bullshit makes all the other criticism irrelevant.

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.  Meadows did apparently sign a contract claiming that "all statements contained in the Work are true," so it's likely that they'll probably get their $350,000 back,
