A federal judge has ordered the release of emails from former
MAGA lawyer John Eastman.
Saying that the communications in fact prove that Trump knowingly pushed
the big lie to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Now, US judge David Carter explained that the emails must be turned over and
here's what he says.
He says that they show that Trump quote knew that the specific
numbers of voter fraud were wrong but
continued to tout those numbers, both in court into the public.
Are you allowed to lie in court?
>> No, you are not and that is a very serious crime.
>> For us.
>> For people like us, yeah.
>> But for the party that wants rule of law, of course,
they would say ignore the law, that's our dictator.
I mean, I want to be dictated.
I mean kind of president at one point in our leader.
>> Now, Eastman has long argued that these emails are protected under
attorney client privilege.
But the ruling by judge Carter says no,
they're not because they were likely evidence of and
sufficiently related to and in furtherance of the obstruction crime he argued.
Now, Judge Carter also came with receipts which you guys know how much I love
receipts.
So, let's talk about that.
Judge Carter wrote that four of the emails demonstrate an effort by President Trump
and his attorneys to press false claims in federal court for the purpose of delaying
the January 6 vote including claims filed as part of a lawsuit in Georgia.
He describes the emails as containing Trump's concerns as
relayed by Eastman about having to include specific
numbers in a signed declaration to be filed with the court.
So understand what he's saying there.
He's saying these communications indicate that trump was at least
a little concerned about lying in court by citing specific numbers.
But here's one such example of an email that Eastman wrote.
Although the President signed a verification for
the state court filing back on December 1.
He has since been made aware that some of the allegations and
evidence proffered by the experts has been inaccurate.
For him to sign a new verification with that knowledge and
incorporation by reference would not be accurate.
So, again, that is an email from John Eastman on December 30th of 2020.
Now the Trump campaign relied on those numbers.
Nonetheless, they knew they were inaccurate, but
they cited them in court anyway.
President Trump and his attorneys ultimately filed the complaint with
the same inaccurate numbers without rectifying, clarifying or
otherwise changing them.
President Trump moreover, signed a verification swearing under oath
that the incorporated inaccurate numbers are true and correct.
Or believed to be true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief.
Well, the communications he's had with John Eastman prove otherwise.
Yeah, so of course Trump screaming like a banshee about this today.
He went on his account and was like put judge in air quotes and he's like,
I'm not even involved in this case.
I wasn't even represented.
I don't know what this judge is talking about, okay.
So yes, this case is about Eastman not about Trump.
That's why you weren't represented, but it is super relevant to you.
>> Yes.
>> And you might have wanted to pay attention to it, okay.
But your bozo the clown.
So you were squeezing water out of the flower on your lapel the whole time
instead and wondering where your floppy shoes are gonna go.
So now, why is he so worried now that he understands what's going on?
Because that's a world of trouble man.
>> Is it.
>> It's normally you're right with Trump it never is right because they're so
afraid of him.
The fact how afraid prosecutors and democrats are is a stain that will last
forever on democrats and prosecutors just prosecute the guy already.
This one is a slam dunk.
His guy tells him kind of, his lawyer right,
tells him at that point, but not really.
He's a lawyer.
He's not representing Trump.
So there's not attorney client privilege in that case.
But what part of what the courts ruled is no, but this is in commission of a crime.
And even if you had attorney client privilege,
it wouldn't apply if you guys are committing a crime together.
And the emails show clearly that you were.
And to be fair to Eastman.
Eastman said do not use those numbers.
We know that they are wrong and that will get us in trouble and
Trump looked at and go now, I'm gonna use them anyway.
>> Honestly, John Eastman is not a smart guy, but it is amazing that in this
particular case, this very specific case, he had better judgment.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> And he remember he's the one that came
up with a plan to do the fake electors and the coup overall.
He's in a world of trouble but
Trump is the one that's even for the guy plotting the coup.
He's like, you're too careful,
let's just lie in court. So he signed it.
It's definitely a lie and
we have overwhelming evidence that Trump knew that it was a lie.
And now then you get
turned to the an skepticism of yes. But
is the rule of law in this country at all when it comes to the elites like Trump and
the answer is probably no. But if there was any justice at all,
he would be in massive trouble for this.
