Trump attorney John Eastman expected that filing a Big Lie lawsuit seeking to overturn Biden’s win in Georgia might just lead to criminal investigation, new messages show.
“Lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.” ― Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Whatever else he may be, Eastman is just profoundly bad at lawyering.
The data … showed that dead voters, felons, and the unregistered had voted in quantities great enough to nullify Biden’s win.
How do they know who these fictitious people voted for?
This quote is an excerpt from the latest TPM essay
["Until today, there was a dearth of quality polling over the last 10 days on the congressional generic ballot as well as in key Senate races. That changed today. Multiple, high quality polls confirm a significant shift in the national race in favor of Republicans. Sometimes there is systematic polling error across multiple pollsters. Indeed, it’s happened a couple times in recent years, albeit in the opposite direction. But if these polls are broadly accurate they tell a clear story.
For control of the House these polls present a very, very steep climb for Democrats. To put it mildly."]
Even though the topic is tangential to this, the narrative deserves dissemination. The Senate is depicted as a tad less grave.
Did Eastman get a great f*ck’ing criminal defense lawyer? The suspense is killing me.
Eastman appears to have plowed ahead — the lawsuit, along with Trump’s verification — was filed the same day.
Eastman did not plow ahead. The timeline is that tfg asked Herschmann and Herschmann said No, so then tfg told Eastman to go ahead.
Chesebro wrote in a Dec. 31 message that he believed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas would be the most likely to “issue some sort of stay or other circuit justice opinion saying Georgia is in legitimate doubt.”
He added that the justice was likely their “only chance to get a favorable judicial opinion by Jan. 6, which might hold up the Georgia count in Congress.”
Eastman replied: “I think I agree with this.”
These people are brainwashed to the max. Of course, maybe their brains and their abilities weren’t that great to begin with.
I’m sure they would think affirmative action is a horrible idea.
I say, “Bring it on.” These people are garbage.
“Concerned about the President signing a verification about facts that may not be sustainable under detailed scrutiny”? That’s quaint. Herschmann had no knowledge whatsoever about the man he worked for? The email was a tongue-in-cheek joke and everyone cracked up? CYA in an email he knew would eventually become part of discovery? It’s such a curious little detail.
I have to wonder why Team Doofus went all in on GA (two separate unlawful acts by DFG and/or his attys). It seems the AZ and PA attempts amounted to just a bunch of frivolous lawsuits and fruitless recounts, can’t remember (happily) too many details about WI and MI. Did they think they had a more receptive audience in the local pols and courts there, or just the circuit court and Clarence Thomas?
I guess I really shouldn’t expect what they do to make much sense.
How do they know that dead voters, felons, and unregistered voters voted, the numbers in each category, and yet no one verified/authenticated the information? And who besides “experts” are these people?
It appears that that took place: the verification that Trump eventually signed included similar language distancing the President from the information to whose veracity he was swearing, instead noting that he only was liable for information that others told him, of which he did not have direct knowledge.
So the lawyers threw themselves under the bus?
There’s little to go on there, frankly.
No one really knows. We’ve been called by pollsters. Didn’t take the call. But I’m telling you that there’s an ever-growing resentment and horror at the nutcases and their policy “suggestions.”
We’ll know by next week at some point. I figure that the more screaming we hear about “rigged!” the better for us. 
he appears to have known that information he included in a Georgia federal lawsuit, whose accuracy President Trump swore to, was inaccurate
Trump expected it to, I’ll bet ; - )
He worked for Dong. That’s all the references that one needs to ascertain his “skills.”
Been a bunch of that with Dong’s lawyers.
I agree. It makes little sense to see how high the early voting numbers are and be told we won’t win. If the reactions of the RW are any indication things are not going their way.
And how do they know how they voted? My suspicion is that dead voters would be all in for Turnip. Same with felons and unregistered voters. Maybe they are on to something! Maybe Biden won bigger than we know, after you remove all those illegal votes from unregistered dead felons.
GA was hit pretty hard by that zombie apocalypse thing, and the first people to be zombified were the first responders, and their vote definitely slants rightward. Prisons got it bad as well.
This is at least as good as anything Eastman came up with.
@terrycarroll think I hit wrong reply button
Dark Brandon with the uppercut…
