The emails show that Thomass efforts to overturn the election were more extensive than previously known, two of the people said. The three declined to provide details and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
The committees members and staffers are now discussing whether to spend time during their public hearings exploring Ginni Thomass role in the attempt to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election, the three people said. The Washington Post previously reported that the committee had not sought an interview with Thomas and was leaning against pursuing her cooperation with its investigation.
The two people said the emails were among documents obtained by the committee and reviewed recently. Last week, a federal judge ordered Eastman to turn more than 100 documents over to the committee. Eastman had tried to block the release of those and other documents by arguing that they were privileged communications and therefore should be protected.

Why would he recuse himself now? Breaking the bounds of ethics is the basis of his position in life.

(11,811 posts)....give the fact that one year prior to this John Eastman publicly argued against the very path he advocated for after the election. One thing that still remains a mystery is who exactly authored the memo Eastman used as his basis. I have my theory. Ginni Thomas was in extensive conversations with Eastman after the election. Eastman Clerked for Clarence Thomas. Clarence Thomas is married to Ginni Thomas. Probably just a coincidence though.
