Yep, but when the judge orders you to show proof of your clamed attorney client privilege, everything you produce in response is subject to perjury penalites. Shit just got real.

The reason we should not forgive and forget what the RW leaders and supporters have done. No other action shows the true intentions of those evil doers better than the RW embrace of the vile lies told regarding the Sandy Hook children and parents.

“To the extent the congressional defendants’ claimed ‘urgent need for resolution of the privilege issues’ is motivated by the looming 2022 midterm election, this is not a valid reason to alter this Court’s January 26 order,” Eastman’s attorney wrote in reply to the arguments put forward by House lawyers.
I guess the question is, will this stall tactic be successful?? Awfully presumptuous to assume the outcome of the next election, if he isn’t somehow involved in its being overturned…

I certainly don’t mean to any more than I mean to compliment the German industrialists who thought they could control Hitler and so helped him take power.

I double rudebags is cooperating. He’s making vague cooperation noises to raise the heat on TFG to start paying his (rudebag’s) legal bills.

Unclear. It would strike me as very short-sighted, but Eastman may be trying to set up a fight over whether the January 6 Committee, charged with the legislature’s inherent power to investigate, is constrained by judicial rules of evidence, if only to create more delay and thereby carry water for TFG, who by now likely disavows any knowledge of him (sad!). It’s a fight that, institutionally, the various branches of government have incentives to leave unresolved (last situation i can think of us was the Congressional investigation into a Mr. Ferrer and the unpleasantness involving Backpage’s sex-trafficking ads - no definitive resolution there). Remember, we deal here with someone who subscribed to a filing in what was arguably the most ludicrous of the various judicial challenges to the 2020 election results (Texas v Pennsylvania) and he seems to have time on his hands.

Yes, there were some competent attorneys in that white house. You don’t know their names because they didn’t step in it.

I am reminded that the name for those folks who didn’t really agree with the Nazis about the Jews, Gypsies, et. al., but went along, anyway, because they thought Herr Hitler could improve things in Germany, was: “Nazis.”

OT but trump related and really insulting…
(CNN)Being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize seems like it should be a very big deal. After all, most people in the country – myself included – have not been nominated (yet…).
Which brings me to this news: New York Rep. Lee Zeldin nominated Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump for this year’s prize for his work on the Abraham Accords, a set of agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates negotiated during the Trump administration.

IIRC that occurred during his CA bar disciplinary hearing, it is not (yet) part of his legal defense in this case. Sidney Powell tried that one (no one should have taken me seriously) in her defense against the Dominion civil lawsuit, got her nowhere.
