Former President Donald Trump signed legal documents describing evidence of election fraud that he knew were false, a federal judge indicated on Wednesday.
U.S. District Court Judge David Carter wrote in an 18-page opinion that emails from attorney John Eastman, an architect of Trump’s last-ditch effort to subvert the 2020 election, needed to be turned over to the Jan. 6 select committee. Those emails, Carter wrote, “show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public.”
The emails are among the files that Eastman had been declining to turn over to the committee, citing attorney-client privilege. While Carter concluded that some of the materials fell under that privilege, he ruled that Eastman must disclose four emails to congressional investigators because they are evidence of a likely crime.
“The Court finds that these four documents are sufficiently related to and in furtherance of the obstruction crime,” wrote Carter, who is based in California.
According to Carter, Trump and his attorneys alleged in a Dec. 4 filing in Georgia state court that Fulton County had improperly counted more than 10,000 votes of dead people, felons and unregistered voters. They then moved that proceeding to federal court and discussed whether to use the same statistics in that filing. In private correspondence, Trump’s lawyers noted that the then-president had resisted signing documents containing “specific numbers.” On Dec. 31, Eastman emailed other Trump lawyers that the numbers filed in state court were not accurate.

“Very telling [that] absolutely NOBODY offered to settle the argument by legitimately subjecting election results to audit.”
You have precisely made the point, and everyone who denies there was election malfeasance, merely by dint of the excellent point you made, are the real liars.
Unless Judge has the document with the initials “DJT” in red right over the “FALSE STATS” he is just GUESSING, JERK.
You misspelled 'restore'.
And they treat SCOTUS & other courts weaseling out and dismissing his lawsuits on standing and so forth as if they were examined and disproven. NOT the same thing.
marc elias let the cat out of the bag
the point is to make Trump defend himself during his Prez campaign
the process is the punishment

The DOJ’s attack against Trump’s attorney-client privilege continues unabated.

They will destroy all legal ethics on the law books in order to get Trump.
Believing the election of 2020 was stolen is a crime.
I think you’re going to be right.
“the point is to make Trump defend himself during his Prez campaign
the process is the punishment”
BINGO.
You need to add that scum John Glenn, who sold off our Country for that ride in the Space Shuttle.
"Judge" Carter is an egotistical leftist maniac, desperate like all the rest of the caterwauling horde, as they see the People's RED TIDE about to overwhelm the Sicko Lefty Totalitarian Utopian Democrat Party.
All the Dems have left is mouth pieces. Their record is one which shows their destruction, hatred and contempt for America, The People, and the Constitution.
Let them scream their way into the dust bin of history along with "Judge" Carter. I love that sound.
Talk to the MAN , Carter:
If we don’t return all the BS the left has done to us we are just saying its ok to do to us but we won’t do it to them. This is war. We need to do whatever is necessary to stop the commies.
If Deep State is opening this particular can of worms, it must truly be desperate.
“If we don’t return all the BS the left has done to us we are just saying its ok to do to us but we won’t do it to them.”
The GOP will do absolutely NOTHING when/if in the majority. They never do; it’s too haaard. Requires too much effort. It’s so much easier to be the minority party because constituents’ expectations are so low.
