Court orders conservative lawyer to turn over 159 docs to Jan. 6 committee

Washington — A federal judge on Tuesday ordered John Eastman, a conservative lawyer who devised the legal strategy to keep former President Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election, to turn over 159 documents to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, who has been overseeing the records dispute between Eastman and the House panel, said the latest tranche to be disclosed are not covered by attorney-client privilege or protected work product, as the conservative lawyer asserted. The 159 documents were part of a broader batch of nearly 600 documents that Eastman fought to shield from the committee, 440 of which Carter said were privileged and protected from disclosure.

Carter, who sits on the federal district court in Santa Ana, California, gave Eastman until 5 p.m. Wednesday to give the 159 documents to the select committee, ensuring House investigators will have access to the records before their prime-time public hearing Thursday.

Among the documents to be handed over to the select committee are 10 that Carter found are "closely tied" to its investigation. The records, he wrote, relate to three meetings held in the first two weeks of December 2020 by a group of Trump's supporters, which had a "high-profile leader," and included discussions about efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Judge orders John Eastman to give Jan. 6 committee email that contains evidence of likely "crime"

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered conservative attorney John Eastman, who helped craft former President Donald Trump's strategy to overturn the election, to hand over more than 150 emails, including one that the judge said contains evidence of a likely crime.

U.S. District Court Judge David Carter ordered Eastman to turn over a batch of 159 documents sought by the Jan. 6 committee that were not protected by attorney-client privilege in a court ruling first reported by Politico.

Carter said one of the documents is a December 22, 2020 email exchange in which an unidentified attorney urged Trump's lawyers not to involve the courts in their bid to block the results of the election during the Jan. 6 session of Congress.

"Because the attorney concluded that a negative court ruling would 'tank the January 6 strategy,' he encouraged the legal team to avoid the courts," Carter wrote.

1. It's the December 22nd email that caught my attention

I don't recall anytime I've heard of it before, so this has a lot of smoke attached to it,

It should now be possible to correlate this memo to when the talk of martial law (or as it's now commonly called Marshall Law), the calls for the Stop the Steal rallies, the involvement of the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other groups, the plan to have the fake electors do their thing, etc.

Once we find out who the memo was sent to, who wrote it, and who else was copied on it, then there'll be a ton of dots connected.
