An open letter from Eastman’s children and a call to action.
Tucker Carlson hosted Dr. John Eastman on Fox News on June 27, 2022, shortly after the FBI unlawfully seized Eastman’s phone, which contained attorney-client privileged information. After Tucker showed the video of armed FBI agents frisking Eastman, he scoffed: “Disgraceful. Wearing his little mask. ‘Put your hands up,’ as if Eastman is a threat. He’s not. He’s a lawyer.”
On this rare occasion, Tucker was wrong. John Eastman is the greatest threat to the far left’s regime of anarcho-tyranny. This regime unleashes violent criminals on our streets, extends bail to serial rapists, and releases illegal aliens who commit criminal acts. But if a conservative lawyer dares to provide legal counsel to a sitting U.S. president, his livelihood and reputation will be destroyed with the full force of government and other institutions infected by the “woke” virus.
Our dad is well equipped for this battle, and while some individuals have lent their support to his efforts, too many have remained on the sidelines.
This, of course, is the stated goal of the 65 Project, a group of left-wing activists dedicated to destroying regime critics through the mechanisms of lawfare: Make patriotic lawyers “toxic in their communities.”
For those new to the Eastman saga, this case study in lawfare began in the public eye on January 6, 2021. Months before, President Donald Trump had sought Eastman’s counsel on cases dealing with election illegalities and fraud.
Eastman became a widely recognized public figure after his speech at the Ellipse on January 6 and for authoring what became known as the “Eastman memos,” internal brainstorming documents in which he laid out numerous scenarios for consideration in efforts to combat the massive instances of illegality that his investigations had revealed in the 2020 election.
The “Eastman memos” require three clarifications that the legacy media refuse to acknowledge. First, Eastman addressed the role of the vice president in the certification of elections. He showed that it is an open question whether the vice president, as president of the Senate, has the authority to resolve disputes over contested electoral votes. Eastman testified under oath that he told President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence that this would not be a prudent action. He proposed that Pence accede to requests from more than 100 state legislators to send the matter back to the state legislatures to assess the allegations of fraud and the impact of illegality on the election.
