1. Sounds good, but will Eastman pull a Trump and appeal to the next higher court,

then the next higher court, until he reaches the Supremes and Clarence Thomas decides in his favor? Or, rather, Ginni Thomas.

4. Sounds great. But the DOJ isn't listening.

They seem to have another agenda. And being the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, I can't imagine what that would be.

5. "The illegality of the plan was obvious," the judge wrote.

7. I had fun skimming this opinion and the judge did a great job on the crime fraud exception

I just skimmed the opinion. I am law geek and I had to read this opinion. here is a link to the opinion

The judge bent over backward to find that Eastman had an attorney client privilege with TFG and that Eastman did not waive such privilege when Eastman improperly used Chapman University's email system. These were close issues and the judge gave the benefit of the doubt to Eastman and TFG.

The discussion of the crime fraud exception really made me smile

9. Why is everyone so surprised?

Everyone knew this months ago. The emails going to the select committee tells me that DOJ is doing nothing about it.

DOJ doesn't need a criminal referral from the select committee to go after the man who wrote the blueprint for a coup. DOJ could have gotten those emails months ago if it wanted to.

It makes one wonder why Senator Mike Lee of Utah wanted Trump to replace FBI Director Comey with Merrick Garland? Maybe Lee just wanted to open up a spot on the DC Appeals court? Or maybe not?
