Trump-linked lawyer John Eastman excoriated the Justice Department for searching him and seizing his cellphone last week, decrying the department's power as being akin to that of a British monarch.
Eastman contended the search warrant he received "is invalid on its face" and undermines his ethical obligation to safeguard attorney-client privileges during an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight.
TRUMP-LINKED LAWYER JOHN EASTMAN CLAIMS FEDS 'FRISKED' HIM AND CONFISCATED PHONE
"The authority to seize all of my information in modern smartphones — that’s access to all my private financial records. It’s all my privileged communications with nearly a hundred different clients that I have currently," he explained on Fox News. "[This] is what we used to call a 'general warrant' that the British king issued to rummage through someone’s belongings to see if they can find evidence of some crime."
"This is just another reminder [for] anyone who didn’t vote for Joe Biden to erase your texts and emails every day," host Tucker Carlson replied.
Eastman has been widely regarded as the brains behind efforts to mount a legal challenge against the 2020 election on behalf of former President Donald Trump. This has earned him heavy scrutiny from the House Jan. 6 committee. Last Wednesday, agents searched Eastman while he was leaving a restaurant, and he filed a motion Monday to retrieve his cellphone.
Carlson played footage of the search that showed Eastman demanding a warrant. The Trump-linked lawyer underscored that he did not know why authorities conducted the search.

Using the power of government to target political opponents is the textbook definition of fascism.
Oh, alleged eh?
Eastman is one of the best Constitutional lawyers in the US and in addition to being a professor of law at both Chapman University and Claremont-Mckenna he was allied with former Attorney General Ed Meese in writing clear briefs on Birthright Citizenship and how it’s abused under current interpretation.
He scares the crap out of a cheap sleaze like Merrick Garfinkel. That’s why they’re after him.
The bastard Dems/Deep State have only begun, I’m afraid.
Another outrageous shake down
Will he end up in the DC gulag too but
Just like P eter Navarro
Navarro said he will be his own advocate/ counsel
he has seen the drill ‘ bout Mike Flynn what they did to him.
Navarro requested at his last press conf you buy his book to support him..
Under cover of words at that presser he also stated he was not about to delete
his own pension, etc.
Just caught a replay of Tucker’s interview with eastman.
Glad to see eastman had presence of mind to video the illegal seizure of his property
Hope this gets out there
Can’t believe they can search you without saying what they are looking for - hope this gets fast tracked to SCOTUS ASAP.
Yeah. They’re desperate.
Trump scared the crap out of them - they know he won in a walk.
it’s Get Trump, all stops out.
I think you are right. Corruption with a capital C

That appearance on Tucker did him a lot of good.
NOTHING gets fast-tracked to SCOTUS.
That is how the Dems get away with murder for years before finally being ordered to stop whatever it is they are illegally doing, and then the Dems IGNORE the order.
“decrying the department’s power as being akin to that of a British monarch.”
OMG, Eastman. They are MUCH worse than that.
“Navarro said he will be his own advocate/ counsel”
On War Room yesterday he said he’ll take it to SCOTUS. Not backing down.
Can we all agree on a coup in 2020
...jus’ aint he the most noble?? seriously he is not going to put up with this stasi effbeeeye... He even said all he needed was a phone call when initially contacted by them & willing to come down & talk to them bad boys.
......buuuut nooooooo....they frogmarched
him in public off a plane that he was boarding. it was humiliating for him as he stated.
Team Navvaro and God Bless Him in fighting the good fight.
Looks like the “Jan 6 committee” found a federal judge who doesn’t care about the 4th Amendment either. Same judge who ordered Los Angeles to “provide shelter” for Skid Row crowd.
