This is the six-point plan advanced by Trump lawyer John Eastman for VP Pence to overturn the election on January 6th.

It's worth noting that John Eastman is no fringe figure in the conservative movement. He's the Director of the Claremont Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence.

And you might object, "that's just a fringe think tank."

You could be right, but then, this is who's being honored at Claremont's annual gala next month.

I'd also add that steps 3-6 are academic.

The moment Vice President Pence announced Trump's re-election, the American people would have taken to the streets to protest a self coup, and the architects of this plan would have the chaos they intended.

Here's what Eastman says is "the full memo."

"We're no longer playing by Queensbury Rules... [if Biden is allowed to take office] we will have ceased to be a self-governing people. The stakes could not be higher." h/t @charliearchy

"The anti-anti-Trump caucus is more sinister—and ultimately more dangerous—than even the authoritarian himself. They are the difference between a figure like Trump being a third-party sideshow and being chief executive of the United States." -@JVLast
