Crazy Mike Lindell finally reveals his Supreme Court complaint to overturn the 2020 presidential election (yes, he still trying to do that) and is missing essential parts of the complaint. Trump has really driven these people to new levels of stupidity.

some further on the above, for those that haven't already seen it
I know he is deeply reprehensible himself but what Bobby Bacala alleges here is almost incredible even by Trump's standards
Trump's moral turpitude knows no bounds.
Ive thought this before but the poo seems to be hitting the fan.
Meadows is going to be on a lot of people’s crap list now! Good for him! (Sarcasm font)

I am very confused. Meadows' attorney is a heavy hitter (former Deputy AG - #2 at Justice) at a giant law firm. I'm not sure what they felt they stood to gain by turning this trove of material over, then stonewalling. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it's best to assume that counsel feels this is a rational legal strategy, and it's not like his team would have failed to review what they were coughing up.
Is the plan to buy some time in the Trumpverse while haggling out a deal? I don't get it. I'm missing something here, but I don't know what.

I suppose the question is who is paying for it? You’d think Meadows and everyone else who put themselves on the hook for Trump would be determined to use the millions Trump has raised, but obvs the Donald won’t do that unless threatened. This is a good way of doing that.

Using the campaign funds for personal legal defenses is not exactly legal, and even if it were Trump's pattern consistently has been to hang people out to dry when it comes to paying for legal defense. If you wanted to view that through the lens of rationality, you would probably conclude that Trump has determined that his best course of action is to marshal his own defenses to defend his beleaguered position on a number of fronts, obfuscate and blame those that were below as the actual bad apples. It is, after all, what his mentor (and mob attorney) Roy Cohn would do.
If you wanted to view it through the lens of, say, narcissism, you would probably conclude that Trump is incapable of seeing that protecting his minions is the smart play, and that he'll fall (perhaps under RICO statutes) if he can't find a way to get some sort of omerta code in place in a hurry.
Stretch it out to 2022 elections when the GOP wins the House.

That might help with the contempt charge, but the Democrats have DOJ until 2024 and that's where the real legal jeopardy will come from. If the plan is to run it out until 2022 and hope Congress flips so that any investigation can be shut down, Meadows should have stonewalled from day one.
