As Rachel Maddow contended, John Eastman the Trump lawyer who sought to help him overturn the election by writing a multi-step plan in a three-page detailed memo, almost certainly did not write the memo himself. Who, then, did?
The Claremont Institute, the conservative tank that now employs Eastman, are characterizing the memo as simply legal advice and contend it has been maliciously misrepresented and distorted by major media outlets.
If other lawyers, maybe associated with a think tank, aided Eastman, that's conspiracy.
Is there reporting on this issue?
Speculations?
(Because of how CNN reported part of the issue this a.m., Claremont sounds complicit.)
There are straight-up, stone-cold traitors out there who need to be exposed and prosecuted.

Claremont is trying to rescue its own reputation among conservatives. But they're about 5 years too late for that, having been closely associated with Trumpism all that time.
