An attorney who worked with former President Trump's legal team tried to convince then-Vice President Mike Pence that he could overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and provided him with a six-step plan, according to a new book from journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
CNN, citing a memo initially obtained by the book's authors, reported that attorney John Eastman first proposed the plan to Pence on Jan. 4 in the Oval Office with Trump. The memo called for throwing out the election results in seven states under the false claim that those states had used alternate electors.
The conservative lawyer also reportedly proposed that Pence could declare Trump the winner of the election after the votes were disposed of.

Gotta sell books anyway he can. Historical fiction...too many assumptions.....shades the truth. In other words...liar, liar...pants on fire.
Attorney client privilege. He should be disbarred.
The election WAS overturned. What we all wanted was it restoration.
Coming from the Hill, one of many mouthpieces for the Deep State Mockingbird Enemedia Cabal.
“Overturn the election” is inaccurate.
“Constitutionally correct the fraudulent election” is more accurate.
Given what we now know about Miley’s treason, doing this would have led to a military intervention on behalf or the demonrats. If happened, there would be no hope to ever get the republic back.
We haven’t much hope at this point, but we have some. I think Trump made the right decision to not walk that road.
I’m not sure anyone really thought Pence could “overturn” the election.
Many people did think that Pence could toss it back to the states and give them a chance to re-certify their electors.
Where is the evidence that Mike Lindell said he would provide?
“ Coming from Woodward I don’t want to take his word on this”
Me neither but I want to give him the benefit of the broken clock because this is believable.

He’s waiting for the Kracken to be released ...
Mike has made such statements many different times.
That’s a lie. The plan was not to overturn the results, but to return certification back to the states that wrote letters saying there were doubts. Back to the states to investigate.
I’m waiting to see what happens in AZ on Friday. My worry is that the audit report will either be delayed or else turn out to be anecdotal reports of some stuff that seems like maybe some of it sort of doesn’t add up.
We crossed the event horizon long ago. What was done to Trump before, during, and now after, his presidency is only proof of that.
Overturn?
Attorney client privilege applies only to conversations between you and your lawyers. Bring a third party into the room and the privilege does not apply.
A minority of legislators sending a letter do not speak for the legislature as a whole. And none of the state legislators asked that their slate of electors be withdrawn
Nothing as of yet.
Eastman had good arguments based on the language and history of the constitution and applicable amendments. I doubt he ‘leaked’ to Woodard. More likely phi’s source was someone on Team Pence or a congessional office like Linda’s.
