If everything that lawyer John Eastman did to encourage, foment, and exploit the attack on the Capitol on January 6 was made explicitly clear to the entire nation, Republican hopes for election success could go belly-up. (Though Fox News and Tucker Carlson are trying to mitigate the damage already.)
I'm hoping for that. Publicly, clearly, and explicitly.
The most shocking new revelation about John Eastman
" The big news in the new investigation from The Post’s Josh Dawsey, Jacqueline Alemany, Jon Swaine and Emma Brown involves Trump lawyer John Eastman, the author of the infamous memos laying out a legal case trying to get Vice President Mike Pence to help overturn the election. It turns out that even as rioters overran the Capitol and a recalcitrant Pence was forced into hiding, Eastman emailed a Pence aide to actually blame Pence for the scene.
After Pence aide Greg Jacob emailed Eastman to tell him that his “bull----” legal advice was why Pence’s team was “under siege,” Eastman responded that it was in fact Pence’s fault.
“The ‘siege’ is because YOU and your boss did not do what was necessary to allow this [election challenge] to be aired in a public way so that the American people can see for themselves what happened,” Eastman replied, as revealed in a previously unpublished op-ed by Jacob. "
