Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains why Mark Meadows' mugshot haunts her:

"Meadows’ mug shot, which displays a mix of anger and exhaustion, is an artifact from a particular tradition: political elites who enabled authoritarians and then found themselves on the wrong side of history. He glares at the camera, likely not quite believing that this is actually happening to him."

"Although there is a shade of humiliation, there is no visible remorse. Like so many others in the GOP, Meadows would likely do it all again if he knew it would succeed."

A dangerous combination, moral vacuity combined with extreme arrogance. Mark Meadows has this combination in spades.
