John Eastman should be a household name among conservatives, along with anyone else who believes authoritarianism can exist not just in the past or in faraway parts of the world, but in modern “liberal democracies” as well.
For those unaware of him, John Eastman is a leading constitutional scholar, a former presidential advisor and clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, and is perhaps the most persecuted man in the country apart from Donald Trump. Last month at Mar-a-Lago, the latter was actually treated to the premier of The Eastman Dilemma: Lawfare or Justice, a documentary in which the since-fired law professor describes his three-year-long legal battle over the rather rudimentary act of providing counsel to one’s client. In this case, advising the White House on how to deal, constitutionally, with the highly contestable 2020 election results.
The legal question for which his opinion was sought was indeed a novel one; that is, whether a President has the ability to request that his Vice President return fraudulent or legally doubtful slates of electoral votes to their respective states for further inquiries. Given the huge irregularities of the ‘COVID election’ in states like Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, the Democratic slates of electoral votes sent off for official counting on January 6th were viewed by many Republicans to be tainted. Asked what to do about such a unique problem, Eastman set out a list of options, one of them which entailed sending the tainted votes back, so the claims of unlawful electoral practices could be further investigated. For this, Eastman has been thrice indicted as a ‘co-conspirator to obstructing electoral proceedings’ in Arizona, Georgia, and Washington, D.C., debanked by Bank of America, and disbarred in his home state of California; legal troubles that have already cost him nearly a million dollars in legal fees.

I hope Pam Bondi goes after some of these lawfare participants.
If she doesn’t she will have been a very bad pick.
Given how prepared this administration was coming in, I would presume that the have a library of draft indictments. Once Patel is in they can start working with the FBI to document evidence in support. Strzok went quiet very quickly.
That nasty weasel deserves prison time.
Putting all the leftist criminals in jail may put a strain on the budget.
Lol.
(I am mocking some Freepers who can find a downside to everything—no matter how great.)
I think his defense attorney could make a good case that the man is criminally insane and make a plea for life in an insane asylum.
If people are maliciously suing you, shouldn’t you be able to sue THEM? I wish there was a way to put the shoe on the other foot for a change.
Pense has consistently and shamefully ducked the latter question stating that he did not have the authority to "overturn the election".
