John Eastman's Emails and Texts Related to 2020 Election Overthrow Allegations Must be Released: A federal judge has ruled that the crime fraud exception applies to the release of John Eastman's communications with Trump regarding the 2020 election, highlighting the importance of factual information and accountability in the political landscape.
John Eastman, a former lawyer for Donald Trump and a codefendant in a racketeering case, has been trying to prevent the release of his emails and text messages related to his involvement in an alleged conspiracy to overthrow the 2020 election results. Despite his claims on Fox News that there is no evidence against him, a federal judge in California has ruled that the crime fraud exception applies, and his communications with Trump must be turned over to the January 6th committee. Eastman's attempts to hide the truth and spread propaganda on right-wing media outlets highlight the importance of factual information and the potential for manipulation in the political landscape. The public should be aware of the ongoing efforts to distort reality and the significance of holding individuals accountable for their actions.
Principles of separation of powers emphasized in Fulton County case: Evidence of election interference exists despite defendants' denials, as shown by released emails
During the Fulton County case discussion, it was emphasized that the principles of separation of powers, as established by the founders, should not be disregarded. The notion that the findings in this case are settled is questioned, as the Rico side of the case would require evidence of bad faith from all co-defendants involved in the alleged conspiracy. The defendants, including John, argue that there is no evidence, such as emails, to support this theory. However, emails were released to the January 6th committee by a federal judge who believed they were involved in an attempted coup. The emails discussed possible state legislative actions to reverse the election results. Despite the defendants' claims, these documents provide evidence of their involvement in efforts to challenge the election outcome.
Emails reveal attempts to manipulate legal system during January 6th proceedings: Lawyer John Eastman's emails showed an attempt to use lawsuits to obstruct January 6th congressional proceedings, not for legal relief, under the crime-fraud exception.
The emails between John Eastman and other individuals discussed in the court order reveal an attempt to manipulate the legal system for the purpose of obstructing the January 6th congressional proceedings. Eastman, a lawyer, is seen mocking the emoluments clause of the Constitution and suggesting ways to delay the proceedings through lawsuits. A judge has determined that these communications are protected by attorney-client privilege, but some documents were found to fall under the crime-fraud exception. These documents show that the primary goal of filing lawsuits was not to obtain legal relief, but to disrupt the proceedings. Additionally, the economy was a significant topic during this time, with a surprising number of Americans earning six figures living paycheck to paycheck.
Investing in Art: A Low-Correlated Alternative to the Stock Market: Art has outperformed the S&P 500 for 26 years and has a low correlation to the stock market, making it an attractive alternative investment. Platforms like Masterworks make investing in multimillion-dollar art accessible, but past performance doesn't guarantee future returns.
Even in a stagnant stock market, alternative investments like contemporary art can yield impressive returns. According to a report by Citibank, art has the lowest correlation to the stock market of any major asset class, and contemporary art pieces have outperformed the S&P 500's return for the last 26 years by 131%. Investing in multimillion-dollar paintings used to be a challenge, but Masterworks, a platform that allows investors to buy shares in multimillion-dollar art pieces, has made it accessible. Masterworks has had 15 profitable exits and has sold out of offerings in minutes, but past performance is not indicative of future returns. The discussion also touched on the crime fraud exception, which was illustrated through an exchange between two of Donald Trump's lawyers. Eric Herschman, a former in-house lawyer at the White House, was reviewing a potentially fraudulent declaration that John Eastman had asked Trump to sign. Despite the potential legal implications, it's essential to remember that past performance is not a guarantee of future results and that all investments carry risks.
False facts in presidential verifications: President's signing of false facts in verifications raises concerns and potentially admits to lying. False claims about deceased voters, unregistered voters, and multiple voters caused scrutiny and allegations of suborning perjury.
During the discussion, concerns were raised about the president signing verifications containing false facts, which is essentially an admission of lying. The focus should be on essential factual allegations that impact the outcome of a decision. For instance, Eastman falsely claimed that deceased individuals, unregistered voters, and individuals who voted in multiple states had cast ballots. These allegations were proven to be false, and Eastman was even accused of suborning perjury for Donald Trump. Additionally, emails surfaced revealing efforts to pressure Vice President Pence to declare Trump the winner, even if it meant using illegal means to do so. Despite the lack of legal authority, the strategy was considered worthwhile to obtain scrutiny of the election process. Eastman continued to assert that Vice President Pence agreed with him, but the truthfulness of these statements remains questionable.
Mike Pence Defended Constitutional Process During 2020 Election Disputes: Mike Pence upheld his duty to the American people by rejecting requests to reject valid election votes, maintaining the importance of freedom of speech and petitioning the government for redress of grievances, and defending the rights of legal representation.
During the 2020 election disputes, Mike Pence maintained that they were not engaging in anything wrong, as they were addressing serious allegations of fraud and state law violations. He emphasized the importance of freedom of speech and petitioning the government for redress of grievances. Additionally, as an attorney, he defended the rights of his clients to have legal representation. However, recent developments, such as bar complaints and federal actions, aim to prevent representation in election challenges. Pence clarified that Trump's legal team didn't just ask for a pause in the electoral count but specifically asked him to reject votes, which would have led to chaos and potential overturning of the election results. Pence rejected these requests and upheld his duty to the American people. Eric Hirschman's testimony from the January 6th committee further confirmed these requests.
