Why Hasn't The Jan 6th Committee Subpoenaed John Eastman?,,,,,

[global1]

We know that he wrote the plan to steal the election from Biden for Tr**p. I want to know how he came to write that plan? Was it under a request from Tr**p? Somebody else? Who gave him the orders to detail this plan? What discussions were had regarding the plan as they discussed it? How it was presented to Pence? I got to think that a lot of people that worked in the WH at that time and others in the Repug Party - were involved.

There was a conspiracy to take over the government. It appears that a lot of people might have been involved and have the knowledge of this conspiracy. Why aren't we going after this guy who seems a key player in this conspiracy who might be the key person to identify all the players?

1. Maybe they will. They're just getting started.

[Hekate]

2. How do you know they have not? How do you know whether a subpoena is in the works or not?

I’d love to have a DU Secret Pipeline to government plans and activities, too.

5. Okay! This Is Your 'First' (And Perhaps Your Only) Offense!

We remind you Not-To-Ever-Speak-Again of our "DU Secret Pipeline to Government Plans and Activities"!

Surely you must recall your (blood) oath of earlier this year!

Be careful what you say and/or what you write!

We are watching you!

8. Are you bringing a covered dish to the

Du pipeline meeting I’m inviting some Antifa soup can pitchers to speak.

[wyn borkins]

9. Of Course!

And I'll also bring along a nice Chianti
...to pair with that Antifal soup

[Hekate]

12. I'll bring some guacamole and tortilla chips....

But I’ll be sure to tone it down because — oh hi, Agent Mike! Long time no see!

3. They haven't gotten around to him yet

They're just getting started, so let's be patient.

4. Sorry - He Just Seemed Like The Most Logical Person To Start With.....

that might be able to shed light on the thinking process and the other players that were involved.

7. He will be complicated because he will raise issues of attorney-client privilege

and attorney work product, which will probably fail but not after being litigated, and that will take time. It makes sense to pick the low-hanging fruit first and follow whatever leads they get from those witnesses, then go after Eastman. What they have already - his memo - is a good place to start. They can subpoena the recipients of the memo before they get to Eastman.

10. He was a DOJ employee, not TFG''s personal lawyer so he can't claim attorney client privilege.

[Ocelot II]

11. I didn't say it would work, but he'll probably try anyhow.

And who will he claim to have been the client? My point was that he'll throw all kinds of crap at the wall to avoid having to testify. That's what they do.

[Ocelot II]

13. Eastman was not a DoJ employee. He was a law professor

who represented TFG personally in a motion to intervene in Texas v. Pennsylvania, a case filed directly in the U.S. Supreme Court by Texas attorney general, in which Texas tried unsuccessfully to annul the voting processes and, by extension, the electoral college results of at least four other states. On that basis TFG, to whom the privilege, if any, actually belongs will certainly claim attorney-client privilege. However, that is sure to fail because the privilege doesn't apply where others who are not clients are present when the lawyer is offering the allegedly privileged advice. On January 2, 2021, Eastman reportedly participated in a Zoom call that Trump joined in which legislators from Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin talked about allegations of voter fraud. On January 5, 2021, Eastman met with Vice President Mike Pence in the Oval Office to argue incorrectly that the vice president has the constitutional authority to alter or otherwise change electoral votes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Eastman So, unless all those parties claim Eastman was representing them, too, those conversations were not privileged.

14. Thanks, Ocelot II. You're right.

6. Eastman's six-point plan has opened the door to...

a conspiracy charge to foment and insurrection. You can bet your breakfast that Eastman's documents are on the front burner as the evidentiary lynchpin for Trump's attempted coup. He's dead in the water and is looking at his bank account to assess whether he can afford the team of attorneys he'll need to manage his pending prosecution. It can't be more clear.
