I read the Eastman memo.
I’m not a lawyer, but ConLaw is one of my hobbies.
If the premise “7 states have transmitted dual slates of electors to the President of the Senate” were TRUE, then the actions proposed for Pence to take would have been correct (leave aside the fact that the ensuing votes in the Special Joint Session, or in the House, would have elected Biden).
However, the premise “7 states have transmitted dual slates of electors to the President of the Senate” was always FALSE. The Republican State Legislatures of Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia (I only know of 5) could ABSOLUTELY have appointed Trump electors and sent them in. THEY DID NOT DO SO. NOT ONE OF THEM.
Rump legislatures, in some cases consisting of five or six members, cannot “send slates of electors” anywhere.
In my post-"election" analysis, it appears as though I've stumbled over pretty clear indications that the Wisconsin and Michigan Republicans were instrumental in The Steal of those states by the Democrats they were Assisting.
Hence, the kabuki show with "hearings" and "concerned concern" in both of those states.
Both states have Republican strongholds - and those strongholds delivered WAY too many votes to The Joek.
Guess who are the leading figures in those areas? Paul Ryan in Wisconsin, and Pete Meijer/Justin Amash in Michigan...
Sounds to me like they are starting to set the stage up for if Trump wins in 24 it will be by falsely accusing fraud, and then they will declare martial law to keep him out. The exact scenario that Trump should have declared martial law in the last election, but they have way more guts to carry it out. jmo at the moment.
