Very long and
developing story of Trump and Eastman’s plan to overturn the 2020 election thus to enable Trump to stay in office – two very detailed articles follow.
First article is from the Daily Beast with this headline:
“Trump Hand-Wrote
Strategy Notes for Overturning the Election”
Also, Trump hired at least ten lawyers to work on just
one court case, and he spoke regularly with one of his lead lawyers both
directly and through six conduits.
Second article is from the NY Times with this headline:
“John
Eastman Says He Dealt Directly With Trump Over January 6 Plans”
John Eastman, the disgraced Chapman University law professor tapped by Trump to craft a legal strategy to keep him in power, detailed those extensive communications in a new court filing as he argued it should all be shielded from the House Select Committee investigating the January insurrection because of attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protections.
Eastman
has been battling the January 6 House Committee in a California federal court
in an effort to prevent it accessing tens of thousands of pages of emails from
his email address with Chapman University, where he worked as a law professor
until shortly after the Capitol riot.
However, District Court Judge David Carter has not been impressed with Eastman’s arguments. In a blistering ruling in March, Judge Carter ordered Eastman to hand over 101 emails, saying that Eastman and Trump “more likely than not committed a felony” by trying to obstruct Congress and overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The judge further found and added that the actions taken by Trump and Eastman amounted to “a coup in search of a legal theory.”
My 2 Cents: Continue this breaking news at the two links above.
The B/L: Trump and Eastman both need very serious jail time.
Thanks for stopping by.
