Normally, the Federalist is spot on……..in this case, they provide zero context
John Eastman was Trump’s attorney challenging the 2020 Presidential Election results claiming vote fraud.
John Eastman is a college constitutional law professor somewhere in CA.
He used to be guest on conservative radio shows, like Hugh Hewitt, talking about constitutional issues. Pretty smart guy.
Apparently he advised on the constitutionality of the “Pence” action in Jan 6.
So the Jan 6 protest was kind of motivated by Eastman opinion.
That was his opinion, I am not even sure if he got paid, but he never ask anybody to invade Capitol or anything like that, just told Trump that in his opinion, VP can stop the vote count.
Everybody is entitled to opinion, but in California, obviously, not!
