So much easier to tell the truth, if we learn nothing else from this numbskull.

Keeping lies and half-truths straight is a hell of a lot of work that is totally unnecessary.

Of course, maybe if he just shut up about it, he wouldn’t have so much difficulty.

What?! This is the Claremont Institute’s finest, even better than Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley and Victor Davis Hanson. Of course the Woke Communists were setting a trap to advance their nefarious agenda.

This man is one of the folks on the Other Side. The best thing I can say about him is that he’s talentless.

I agree. Let Eastman talk - under oath – before he “lawyers up.”

It’s always a setup by leftist commies.
“Donny, where is your homework?”
“Antifa communists funded by billionaire pedi-cannibals ate it.”

Isn’t bizarre conspiratorial thinking one of the symptoms of certain types of dementia? Is that what is going on with Giuliani and Eastman and Trump?

A lawyer of his callibre will, of course, represent himself. (I’m torn - it would be an amazing shit show but such an incoherent catastrophe that he just might walk away in some mistrial of his own creation.)

Seems like Eastman is in line with Trump’s other so-called “lawyers” and setting himself up for yet another disbarment.

JFC these people are stupid. That’s the tell: if they’ll work for Donald, they’re either insane egomaniacs (Bannon), drunken crooks (Giuliani), sociopathic propagandists (Miller x2), or Dunning-Krueger poster children (this dipshit).

Glad he admits the Oaf Keepers and the Plowed Boys are their guys.
