Trump & Advisor More Likely Than Not Broke The Law

From the Wall Street Journal:

A federal judge ruled that a law professor who advised then-President Donald Trump on blocking the 2020 election result must turn over emails to congressional investigators, saying both he and Mr. Trump “more likely than not” committed a felony in their efforts.

John Eastman had sought to block the release of the emails to the House select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. In rejecting his lawsuit, Judge David O. Carter of the Central District of California cited the crime-fraud exception, which removes protections for documents written in furtherance of crime.

“Based on the evidence, the Court finds that it is more likely than not that President Trump and Dr. Eastman dishonestly conspired to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress” the day of the riot, ruled Judge Carter.
the lawyers working FOR the court , the ones that quit?
The prosecutor, Mark F. Pomerantz, submitted his resignation last month after the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, abruptly stopped pursuing an indictment of Mr. Trump.

Mr. Pomerantz, 70, a prominent former federal prosecutor and white-collar defense lawyer who came out of retirement to work on the Trump investigation, resigned on the same day as Carey R. Dunne, another senior prosecutor leading the inquiry.

“The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes — he did,” Mr. Pomerantz wrote.

Mr. Pomerantz and Mr. Dunne planned to charge Mr. Trump with falsifying business records, specifically his annual financial statements — a felony in New York State.

Mr. Bragg was not. He balked at pursuing an indictment against Mr. Trump, a decision that shut down Mr. Pomerantz’s and Mr. Dunne’s presentation of evidence to a grand jury and prompted their resignations.

Mr. Bragg’s predecessor, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., had decided in his final days in office to move toward an indictment, leaving Mr. Trump just weeks away from likely criminal charges. Mr. Bragg’s decision seems, for now at least, to have removed one of the greatest legal threats Mr. Trump has ever faced.

Of course Trump broke the law.. His history with the law has always been to do as he pleases and see what his lawyers can get away with, then pay off those he couldnt win.. Why would you think his operations in the White House would be any different.
And in doing this for four years, he bought America down to the level of Putins Russia. The difference being Putin doesnt have to deal with real election results.. And you all saw how Trump handled that.😷

Maybe Will Smith should react to that instead of slapping a professional entertainer doing his job.
Shouldn’t these criminals be jailed?

In other news today, there was an earthquake in California, a mugging in New York, and folks getting killed in the Middle East.

But it is nice to see Donald doesn't have the same influence on judges that he used to.
