Forget Hillary's emails. John Eastman's emails could get Donald Trump indicted

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol tipped its hand on Wednesday in a U.S. federal district court filing in Orange County, California.

The filing over the testimony of John Eastman, who has sued the committee to withhold turning over thousands of pages of his emails, suggests that when the bipartisan panel releases its final report this summer, it will recommend that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland prosecute the former President Trump and several of his henchmen for criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, to defraud the United States and thus, to violate federal law banning the obstruction of an official proceeding.

Eastman’s emails — he’s a professor and founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, a public interest law firm affiliated with the conservative think tank Claremont Institute — allegedly provide further evidence of the former president’s conspiracy in the insurrection.

Eastman had advanced a fringe legal theory after Trump’s loss to Joe Biden, claiming Vice President Mike Pence could stop the certification of the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021. Pence after consultation with several people, including former Vice President Dan Quayle, who’s also from Indiana, concluded that he had no power under the Constitution to block certification of the election.
