John Eastman, former President Trump’s lawyer, revealed in a late-night court filing that not only was he talking with Trump about plans to overturn the 2020 election but that he has Trump’s handwritten notes.

Part of their strategy was legal challenges to the election, which Trump falsely claimed was rigged against him.

The House Select Committee investigating January 6 wants those notes but Eastman is claiming they are private attorney-client discussions about legal efforts.
Judge David Carter is challenging Eastman’s legal privilege claim by bringing up the issue of where is the line between legal advice and political strategizing? And can Eastman be found guilty as well?
For one thing, Eastman advised Trump on how to circumvent the courts by pressuring Pence to take ‘action’ on January 6th; isn’t that a blatant attempt to overturn an election?

The House’s top lawyer, Doug Letter, emphasized the House committee’s language from an explosive court filing last week, which said the panel believed Trump and Eastman were part of a “criminal conspiracy,” and therefore, Eastman couldn’t shield his emails with attorney-client privilege.
