John Eastman, it seems, is the victim of one big misunderstanding.
The conservative Claremont Institute, which employs the lawyer who provided a road map for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election, decided to issue a statement Monday defending Eastman.
"Contrary to almost universally false news accounts, which have done great damage, John did not ask the Vice President, who was presiding over the Joint Session of Congress where electoral votes were to be counted on January 6, to ‘overturn’ the election or to decide the validity of electoral votes,” its statement says.
It adds that “John advised the Vice President that, despite credible legal arguments to the contrary, the Vice President should regard Congress, not the Vice President, as having the authority to choose between the two slates.”

Ccourage is a rarer quality these days.
You are a mindless worshiper of the Lying Media aren’t you?
Here another notion for you. The Lying Media is doing what it habitually does, lying.
The actual people involved say they are lying so of course you believe the lying media instead.
This despite the increasable long documented history of the Lying Media habitual lying to maintain a fraudulent political narrative.
Don’t waste your time on the dawg, he feeds off getting people to acknowledging him.
It’s a she. Ask her about “assault weapon” bans, which she thinks are “constitutional.”
It was a coup attempt. There’s no way to sugarcoat it.
So both sides would have us believe.
later
It was a successful coup.
Senile Joe told us ahead of time he had the best fraud machine ever and he didn’t need people to vote for him.
By your own thinking it's the Vice President's constitutional duty to rubber stamp the election results without question (you said so on this forum)...And there were many, with more to come.
He did what you wanted. Why bitch about it now?
Senile Joe told us ahead of time he had the best fraud machine ever and he didn’t need people to vote for him.
And the Dems did not try to hide it. In September, 2020, Michael Anton laid it out:
Claremont is telling the truth.
John Eastman told Mark Levin he was going to sue Claremont if they didn’t rescind his termination.
Eastman is one of the very best Constitutional lawyers in the country, probably even better than Levin himself. Don’t think Claremont was prepared to face him in a courtroom.
I think you are confusing two institutions. Claremont MeKenna college where Eastman taught and The Claremont Institute.
Not my way of thinking. It's what the Constitution says. It's what the law says.
Why bitch about it now?
Not complaining. It's kind of funny to watch Claremont try to cover it's butt is all.
So you keep claiming.
How long is he going to give them?
It was a coup attempt.

Unintentionally misleading? To refer to what happened as only an “attempt” implies that it didn’t actually happen, when in fact it did happen.
