The Best Disinfectant: John Eastman and the Question of Lawfare

from The Adult in the Room · host Victoria Taft

Attorney & legal scholar John Eastman served as an advisor to Donald Trump's campaign team during the 2020 election cycle. After questions were raised about the validity of the election results in many locations, Eastman proposed a path for the team to contest the results. Now, for submitting what many of his supporters say was merely a thought exercise at worst, Eastman is facing indictments in multiple states and a federal charge that still hangs over his head as of this episode being published, in the wake of Donald's Trump's historic string of Day 1 executive orders including pardons for many of those convicted for participation in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots. Hear in his own words, recorded at the start of the transition of power back to the Trump Administration, what he has gone through, why he's experienced it, and how he believes the President should handle the courtroom challenges he continues to face.
