Because Meadows is asking that his case be dismissed before a trial, all we have are the government accusations.
We don't have his side of the story (which requires a trial.)
He is basically saying that the government's indictment, on its face, fails.
His argument is that federal law and policy put the Chief of Staff in an advisory role, and if he didn't accompany Trump in his Georgia adventure, he would have been unable to provide good advice.

@Teri_Kanefield One could ask in this case of the Trump-Meadowes relationship, what would be the point of going along to "offer good advice" when the client or superior simply will not take any advice that doesn't confirm what he is going to do anyway? Still, Meadowes may argue in his defense that his only other choice was to resign and (hopefully) blow the whistle.
