Trump lawyer to turn over more than 10K pages to Jan. 6 committee
The hill ^ | 04/30/2022 | Caroline Vakil

Attorneys for John Eastman said on Friday that their client would be handing over more than 10,000 pages to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot after withdrawing some of his privilege claims.

On Friday, Eastman’s attorneys said that thousands of pages — from the more than 37,000 sought after by the committee — will now be handed over to the panel. However, the lawyer still claims attorney-client privilege to roughly 27,000, according to Politico, which first reported the development.

This crap won’t fly. People want real solution to real problems, like crime, inflation, cost of living, etc., and these dolts are stuck on this. It did not even fly in Virginia last year.

This will prevent Trump from running for POTUS and improving life on the ground before regular people can get used to the new normal.

Evidently, the Jan 6 committee thinks that it will find a document from Trump that says, “Look, I think that we can overthrow the Federal government using a few hundred unarmed rioters dressed in funny gear with Viking horns, and scare Congress into submission.”

They keep repeating that Trump and the right tried to overturn the election. They hope to burn it into people’s minds until the public starts to believe it. But it’s total hogwash. I would like to see some committee subpoena Pelosi’s and Schumer’s records. That would be eye opening.

There’s 37,000 pages on Jan 6? I doubt so. But go ahead and send 100,000 pages that are fully redacted ... just black marks the entire length of every page.

Trump's in trouble now. Surely they'll find something in all of that. 'Scuse me while I wind my watch.

Media quoted Trump as saying to come to the gathering Jan 6.. they were going to have a good time... wild time...

they changed wild to take over...

so how does giving them any documents help Trump at all... they have him buried already...

pelosi is fine.. biden and family is fine... barry is fine... taking that much money from other governments is fine... if you are like the elite... you are find...

If you are a man who wants to get the nation back in order and want to serve the people and want to make the nation the greatest again... you are mud.. absolutely worth taking out!!!!!!!!!!

Where the hell is Kevin McCarthy and his “leadership” team?

Take the hillary defense, “I do not recall” and “at this point what difference does it make”?

McCarthy’s “leadership” has no Trump supporters on this kangeroo court committee so that the Dems can have hours of public hearings without a single person asking a reasonable question or challenging a single lie by a witness. The Dems have taken a year and a half to get to these public hearings so they can be on TV right before early voting begins for the 2022 election.

It is very discouraging.

Make a trade. They can have Eastman’s stuff if they turn over all the video to our side.

I’m pretty sure he can be impeached again.

“”Evidently, the Jan 6 committee thinks that it will find a document from Trump that says, “Look, I think that we can overthrow the Federal government using a few hundred unarmed rioters dressed in funny gear with Viking horns, and scare Congress into submission.””

LOL

I know who John Eastman is but what does he have to do with Trump or January 6?

Don’t send digital.

Send paper.

With some creepy text font that resists digitizing.

Kind of like those log-ins with swirly text to type in.

LOL if I were in Trump’s shoes I’d give them all the records they asked for. Let them waste time going through Trump’s stuff instead of continuing to wreck America, only to discover Trump’s innocence...just before the midterm elections. That would be a beautiful sight to see.

“They keep repeating that Trump and the right tried to overturn the election.”

Have you read Eastman’s memo? It was literally a plan to overturn the election.
