Lawyer John Eastman, who advised Trump and tried to overturn the election results, admitted privately that he knew his schemes were not legal while maintaining publically that everything was above board.

An email also shows that he asked Giuliani to ask that he be “on the pardon list, if that is still in the works,” clearly not the actions of an innocent man, but that of someone who planned a coup.
Also, a confidential witness in the Proud Boys has told investigators that members of the group would have killed Pence and others including Nancy Pelosi if they had the chance.
