A federal judge Tuesday ordered John Eastman — the attorney who developed former President Donald Trump’s last-ditch strategy to overturn the election — to disclose a batch of 159 sensitive documents to the Jan. 6 select committee, including another email that the judge said presented evidence of a likely crime.

In a 26-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge David Carter also ordered Eastman to provide 10 documents about meetings Eastman held with a secretive pro-Trump group that included a “high-profile” leader discussing strategies for overturning the 2020 election.

The 10 documents in question related to three December meetings held by the group. “Five documents include the agenda for a meeting on December 9, 2020,” the California-based judge indicated. “The agenda included a section entitled “GROUND GAME following Nov 4 Election Results,” during which a sitting Member of Congress discussed a “[p]lan to challenge the electors in the House of Representatives.” Other meetings of the group took place on Dec. 8 and Dec. 16, Carter noted.

“The Select Committee has a substantial interest in these three meetings because the presentations furthered a critical objective of the January 6 plan: to have contested states certify alternate slates of electors for President Trump,” he ruled. “Dr. Eastman’s actions in these few weeks indicate that his and President Trump’s pressure campaign to stop the electoral count did not end with Vice President Pence — it targeted every tier of federal and state elected officials. Convincing state legislatures to certify competing electors was essential to stop the count and ensure President Trump’s reelection.”

2. It's been a year and a half, why has this taken so long? Why isn't DOJ requesting this information?

3. Because Garland is doing nothing, will never do nothing.

He is a secret undercover Trump lover.

5. "It's been a year and a half"

The House J6 Committee was created by a resolution voted on June 30, 2021 and was impaneled on July 1, 2021.

So the panel hasn't even been in existence for a year.

This was after months of wrangling with the Senate to have a bicameral Committee comprised of both the House and Senate that failed due to the filibuster rule in the Senate, so the House had to go it alone.

4. Does the Select Committee get these emails immediately?

It could enlighten the Committee even further tot he extent of the conspiracy.

6. I thought I had seen

he has until 5 pm today.

I really want to know more about that Dec. 22 email. There's a possibility that it may have a lot more fire than smoke in it.
