John Eastman Calls The Memo Legally Solid And Criticizes Pence For Blocking The Coup

Eastman calls the memo that he publicly disavowed “legally solid” and said that Mike Pence is an establishment Republican who bought into a myopic view. Eastman also claimed that there is an uprising in the hinterlands and that Trump is out to destroy the DC Republican Party.

According to Eastman, the only thing that prevented the 1/6 coup from being successful was Mike Pence not going along with the plot.

Sidney Powell has claimed that the plan was for Pence to refuse to certify the election, Kevin McCarthy to file an appeal to the Supreme Court where Justice Alito would block certification of the election, which would send it back to the state congressional delegations, which Republicans have a majority and could keep Trump in power.

The 1/6 Committee was already going to subpoena John Eastman, and now they have an admission on tape that his memo was a coup roadmap. The fact that the coup plotters can’t seem to stay quiet is helping the 1/6 Committee get powerful evidence of Trump’s coup.
