He masterminded the coup plot and sold *rump on it. I really want to read the reasoning his lawyers came up with for why Eastman shouldn't be indicted. It ought be a real doozy! (LOL)

I'll stick to the facts that we have at hand.

(31,332 posts)but arrest and convict the traitorous politicians and lawyers and the next batch will have 2nd thoughts.
Other states need to do what Michigan and Georgia have done, prosecute the fake electors no matter what office they hold.

Eastman, "I need to see the warrant."
FBI agent, "Here is your warrant."

Legally pointless. It's not like the provided some air tight alibi or proof of a pardon that would deflect any prosecution (at least for feds).
So why send it?
It is a "HEY! Look at ME!" Letter. Really sad. Meant more for the media than prosecutors.

(5,837 posts)That POS really gets to me. He was suppose to uphold the laws and the Constitution and as a licensed lawyer -- he swore that oath to be admitted to the CalBar. I guess his stint as a Clerk for Clarence taught him differently.
Fuck the treasonous bastard.
