BREAKING: Trump Lawyer John Eastman LOSES Motion in Federal Court to STOP DOJ Investigation

[Rhiannon12866]

Federal Judge Robert Brack denied an effort by John Eastman, the insurrectionist attorney who helped plot Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, to reclaim his phone from the Justice Department after it was obtained by the execution of a legal search warrant. The judge said Eastman failed to show that the seizure caused him "irreparable harm" and declined to exercise equitable jurisdiction over the Rule 41(g) motion. MeidasTouch legal expert and co-founder Ben Meiselas breaks it down.

It feels a bit like the people surrounding Trump were lulled into thinking that they, too – as former members of the inner-Trump team, would get some “Judge Cannon” treatment with respect to the FBI’s investigations. That is not happening because there’s only one Judge Cannon (so far). Just as Mike Lindell did not win a motion to get his phone back, neither did John Eastman, who lost decisively yesterday in federal court in New Mexico, meaning the court did as it would with just about any case with such a motion.

A federal judge on Friday denied an effort by John Eastman, the attorney who helped devise Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to subvert the 2020 election, to reclaim his phone from the Justice Department.

New Mexico-based Senior U.S. District Court Judge Robert Brack ruled that Eastman had failed to show that the government’s seizure of his phone — by FBI agents who confronted him outside a restaurant in June — had caused “irreparable harm.”.....

The FBI is investigating the “alternate electors” prong in attempting to steal the election. Eastman’s phone is almost surely a treasure trove of texts about who did what and where which is surely the reason that Eastman wants it back. Unfortunately, there is only one “Judge Cannon,” and she wasn’t sitting on the bench in the New Mexico courtroom. Eastman faced a normal senior district court judge who dealt with the issue easily.
