Sounds like Eastman needs to go to prison.

[ronaldlawrence]

As a patriot of this great country, I want this man Eastman to face justice!

[louiestevenson]

I hope the Person Who Drives Trump to Prison is named Brandon.

Eastman and Ginni Thomas have been close ever since Eastman was a clerk for Clarence Thomas. She needs to be indicted and Clarence needs to recuse himself from all cases related to Jan. 6.

These people need a punishment that would go down in history as a dire warning to anyone or any country thinking they can do this to America and see what happens then get away with this insurrection be brutal....and make it stick.

From Ireland 🇮🇪
Chris Hayes is excellent

[dmercury]

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack is going to make all of his indictments stick.

[theinvisibleswordsman]

So glad Chris is back, crazy stuff going on, relief to have your clarifying presence back again!

[KMcKee-qnbo]

Actually... according to law, if a president or former president is convicted of a felony, they lose all rights to continued Secret Service protection as does their families and all real property.

Lawyer describing his call to Eastman in Committe video depo: "I am going to give you the best free piece of legal advice you will ever receive. Get a good f---n criminal defense attorney, you are going to need one!"

[pikayell]

These are very bold people: with their limited intelligence and talent they attempted to overthrow a 250-year-old democracy instituted by a unique group of gifted people. Thankfully they failed and now they need to be punished.

Rusty Bowers refused to succumb to the pressures of those who had nothing but ill will toward our Constitutional Republic. He was loyal to his oath to the Constitution. For his patriotism, he received harrassment on weekends from disgusting, unpatriotic Trumpers, made all the more difficult because his daughter was dying in her parent's house at the time. For his patriotism to our country, the morons in Arizona defeated him when he ran for reelection. They should be ashamed of their lack of patriotism to a decent man who l admire. I don't live in Arizona, but l think the people there dis themselves a disservice by putting their devotion to a career criminal above a principled man.

I wonder if Republicans think Kamala Harris can overturn the next election should they win. I'd be interested in their answer.

[jockyoung]

It was pretty clear from the hearings that Eastman was toast. He all but admitted to knowing it was illegal.

[TheGreenVeterans]

Fort Leavenworth Kansas has a military base and federal prison. Perfect retirement home for Trump and the secret service won’t feel like prisoners too.

[nofascist]

If there is an R with their name, vote them out local state and federal, research if their position they’re running for doesn’t require them to disclose it!

[jimlutz]

Pressuring someone to commit the crime for you is still a Crime!

[nowshipping]

Would love to read a future headline about Florida Man passing away in his jail cell surrounded only by a single secret service agent and his cellmate, Bubba.

[radwulfeboraci]

SOOOO ... how is all of this not a conspiracy?

[TheBoss-roiu]

Trump: Who is this Eastman guy? I don’t know him.
