Co-conspirator #2, John Eastman weighed in on Charlie Kirk's show about Trump's third indictment. If you recall, Eastman worked with now-former President Donald Trump's legal team as he tried to cling to power and outlined a two-page memo to coax Mike Pence into tossing out the 2020 election results on January 6.

"I have to ask you; I mean, the speculation is that you're one of the co-conspirators listed here," Kirk said. "Is there something you could fill us in on? Is that correct?"

"Yeah, well, it doesn't take much to go from speculation to confirmation," Eastman replied. "They quote, they quote, uh, unindicted co-conspirator number two. They quote a number of public documents of mine that are in the public realm."

Or, and stay with me here for a second, people knew because of his Coup Memo. The conservative attorney drew out plans to overturn an election.

"But it's, uh, I suppose it's good news from my point of view that I'm an unindicted co-conspirator rather than an indicted conspirator," he continued. "I look forward to maybe being called as a witness to come to President Trump's defense because getting legal advice about contested interpretations of constitutional provisions is not and never has been and never should be a criminal action."

"What's really going on here is an attempt to prevent people who are unpopular with the elites in our country from having competent legal representation, from having any representation at all," he added.

Ah, the "elites" line again. Meanwhile, he was in cohorts with a billionaire who lived in a Golden-colored penthouse with his wifebot by his side. Yeah, that elite shit doesn't work with the rest of us.
