In the full 6-page John Eastman pre-Jan 6 memo obtained by @charliearchy, he imagines “Trump electors” in 6 states sending dueling slates of electors to Pence, deems the electoral count act unconstitutional, and then games out ways the EC could go to Trump businessinsider.com/memo-details-h…
@charliearchy Eastman says that Pence should assert "the authority to determine which slates are valid", which he says "under the 12th Amendment, and the Adams and Jefferson precedents, is his alone (anything in the Electoral Count Act to the contrary is therefore unconstitutional)."
@charliearchy The memo ends: "BOLD, Certainly. But this Election was Stolen by a strategic Democrat plan to systematically flout existing election laws for partisan advantage; we’re no longer playing by Queensbury Rules, therefore" Pence should go by the 12th Amendment documentcloud.org/documents/2106…
@charliearchy Eastman also says in this memo: "If the illegality and fraud that demonstrably occurred here is allowed to stand—and the Supreme Court has signaled unmistakably that it will not do anything about it—then the sovereign people no longer control the direction of their government"
@charliearchy The Supreme Court "not doing anything about it" was when they, shockingly, did not want to take up Ken Paxton's original jurisdiction lawsuit (where Eastman represented Trump in his motion to intervene), seeing to have election results overturned in 4 states that voted for Biden
