Is there anyone more impotent than this sad, little, perpetual #crybaby? This #clown spends 10-12 hours each day posting incoherent, and grammatically disastrous screeds lashing out at everyone who doesn't pray at the alter of Trump. And at the end, he accuses his victims of having a derangement syndrome. I think we all know who's got the derangement syndrome.
His lawyer says it's unfair Eastman should have to fight #criminal charges in #Georgia w/o being able to earn money as a #lawyer to pay his #legal bills.
This is like a convicted drug dealer saying it’s unfair he can no longer sell crack because he has to pay his lawyer.
Fmr #Trump atty #JohnEastman's #attorney status in California has been updated to reflect that he's both charged with #felonies in #Georgia & marked for "inactive" status beginning Saturday as a result of his #disbarment ruling.
#Garland said he would place no restrictions on their work, even if the “#evidence leads to #Trump,” according to people with knowledge of several conversations held over his first months in office.
“Follow the connective tissue upward,” said Mr. Garland, adding a directive that would eventually lead to a dead end: “Follow the money.”
“Mike, this is a political career killer if you do this,” Trump told #Pence by phone the morning of #Jan6 acc/to the WH #valet who was w/TFG for much of the day & told #Congress he’d overheard the conversation.

#Arizona prosecutors… issued #GrandJury subpoenas to multiple people linked to #Trump’s 2020 campaign, a sharp acceleration of their #criminal investigation into efforts to overturn Joe #Biden’s victory in the state.

A trove of docs released this week reveal extraordinary new details about the role of Kenneth #Chesebro — a once-obscure #conservative atty — in driving the strategy to keep Trump in power despite his defeat in the 2020 election.
Communications between #Chesebro & a top #Trump campaign lawyer in Wisconsin, Jim #Troupis, show that Chesebro argued just days after the Nov 3, 2020 election that creating a “cloud of confusion” by submitting dueling slates of electors would be enough to keep Joe #Biden from becoming president.
This is B.S.— you were doing this as a dilatory tactic to help your political friend," says Rachel Maddow on the Supreme Court agreeing to hear the Trump immunity argument, delaying his coup trial.
"And for you to say that this is something that the Court needs to decide because it's something that's unclear in the law is just flagrant, flagrant bullpucky."
At one point, Judge Florence Pan presented Sauer w/a hypothetical situation, asking if a president could be #criminally charged for ordering SEAL Team 6 to #assassinate a #political rival. Sauer said that a #prosecution would be possible in that situation only if the president had first been found #guilty in an #impeachment proceeding.
When Pearce addressed the court on behalf of the #SpecialCounsel’s office, he seized on Judge Pan’s example. Pearce said it was a terrifying prospect that a #president could use the #military to #murder a rival & then escape #criminal#liability by simply resigning before he could be #impeached.
