This week one of Donald Trump's indicted lawyers, and it's weird to have to specify one of Donald
Trump's indicted lawyers because there's many of them.
But one of Donald Trump's indicted lawyers appeared in a two-part interview Tuesday and
Wednesday evening on Laura Ingram's program on Fox News.
And during his Wednesday evening performance, John Eastman appeared to admit to the very
thing that he has been indicted for.
In fact, legal experts, lawyers across social media, reacted to the clip basically saying
he just admitted to the very thing he was indicted for.
Let me read you what Eastman said.
What I recommended, and I've said this repeatedly, is that he aeed to request from more than
100 state legislators in their swing states to give them a week to try and sort out the
impact of what everybody acknowledged was illegality in the conduct of the election.
He, of course, is talking about the request he made to Vice President Mike Pence with
regard to the January 6th certification of the electoral college results.
He's saying, listen, I didn't tell him to reject the votes.
I just told him to delay it a week while 100 state legislators got back to me on some issues
I'm working on.
But he didn't tell him to reject the votes, he said, and that's, you know, allegedly what
he's been indicted for, but that's not what he's been indicted for.
In fact, he was indicted, uh, on the January 4th meeting with Mike Pence, where he, uh,
either reject electoral votes from certain states or delayed the joint session of Congress
on January 6th.
Now, now that's directly from the indictment.
So one of the things you were indicted for was trying to get Mike Pence to even delay
it, you know, interfering in the certification of the election interfering with an official
act of Congress.
You just admitted on Laura Ingram's program that all you were trying to do was get him
to delay it.
Wonderful.
That's exactly why you're facing criminal charges, and it's nice that you admitted that
because I can go ahead and promise you one thing right here, that clip from Laura Ingram
will be played in court.
Now, you may not have said it under oath, so you know, you got a little bit of wiggle
room to try to defend it, but it will be played in court.
It will be used against you.
That's how these things work.
John, you're a lawyer.
I mean, hell aren't you a law school teacher, like a professor?
Shouldn't you know these things?
Trump and his allies and his co-defendants need to remember that you do not have to say
anything, okay?
You don't have to accept.
When Laura Ingram calls you and says, you want to come on my show?
You can say no.
You can a hundred percent say no,
And the more you go out there, the more you talk about these indictments against you,
the worse it's going to be for you, because again, even though you're not under oath,
that doesn't mean what you say can't be used against you in court because it will.
And courts are fun these days.
They got all kinds of audio visual, they're going to play that clip.
The jury is going to hear you admit to the very thing you were indicted for on Laura
Ingram's program.
So if you wanna keep talking, keep talking, you're making Fannie Willis' job so much easier.
But if you wanna save your skin or at least have a chance of getting acquitted, the best
thing for you to do from this point forward is just shut your mouth.
