John Eastman has won a delay on the emails he was supposed to be giving the Jan 6 committee

[pnwmom]

before the first hearing tomorrow.

Now they have till June 16.

One of the points that Eastman's lawyer made in his request for the delay was that the Jan 6 Committee has announced it would be holding its hearings "throughout the summer" and so they'd have plenty of time to review the emails anyway.

But that's not true, from the reports I've seen. The hearings are supposed to be finished in June. Does this lawyer know something about the hearings I don't know, or did he just pull a fast one on the judge?

Here's the court filing asking for the delay. Item #6 is when they mention the timing of the Committee hearings.

1. He Pulled A Fast One On The Judge

It's not like there will be ANY consequences, so why not?

3. Dilatory tactic. Run out the clock until the Republicans control Congress again.

Hey California. Disbar Eastman.

4. I could be wrong but I don't think the

the J6 committee needs those emails ..they know what Eastman is trying to hide and the contents are spilling out all over social media..the hearings are set to begin tomorrow night with or without those documents

5. Gives him time to "acid wash" his emails, just like Hillary!

How they come up with these stupid terms is beyond me, but they all get on the same page.

Peace
