provided him absurd legal advice—that they knew to be utter folly—in a toxic mix of opportunism and appeasement.
“The advice provided has, whether intended to or not, functioned as a serpent in the ear of the President of the United States, the most powerful office in the entire world. And here we are,” Jacob wrote to him. “Respectfully, it was gravely, gravely irresponsible for you to entice the President with an academic theory that had no legal viability, and that you well know we would lose before any judge who heard and decided the case.
Douglas Letter, the top attorney for the House of Representatives, referred to that enticement to break the law at a federal court hearing on Monday in the committee’s ongoing attempt to get more of those emails. One conservative lawyer who worked with Eastman during the tumultuous 2020-2021 presidential transition said it was “probably around zero to maybe 1 percent, in my view, that…Eastman would be dumb enough to believe all that.”in late 2020 and early 2021 had a more charitable view of Eastman’s actions.
“I continue to think there is no downside with as few as 23 days left in the president’s term to give Jon and I that added boost in DOJ titles,” Clark wrote.
