The judge ruled that ten of the documents in the subset were privileged and should be withheld, but ordered Eastman to turn over the other 101 records to congressional investigators.


"If Dr. Eastman and President Trump’s plan had worked, it would have permanently ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining American democracy and the Constitution," Carter continued. "If the country does not commit to investigating and pursuing accountability for those responsible, the Court fears January 6 will repeat itself."


Still a civil proceeding at this time.

Wow! No doubt there will be an appeal but clearly, the Judge saw something that was hugely disturbing in those documents. I don't understand how supposedly patriotic Americans are not demanding answers. Are Trumpers that far gone?

I wish this administration would just get on with things, arrest Trump, charge him, find him guilty and have him hung in front of the Capitol. Then, maybe, we could move on to something more important like rounding up all his supporters and having them hung too. If we hang enough Trump supporters then, maybe, we can finally have freedom and democracy and everybody will feel good about themselves again...as long as nobody else gets out of line and has some rogue idea on what "freedom" entails.

Is this just more pathetic attempt to minimize Trump supporters literally SHITTING on the walls of congress? Oh the poor, poor Trump supporters... Such victims...

It's actually about the absurd double standard in the way the protests over the summer and the one on 1/6 were treated that's the issue but when the whole ****ing world is viewed through the prism of Trump I guess that's to be expected.

Lutherf, you know as well as I do that they are stringing this largely peaceful demonstration out (a phrase coined during the Antifa, BLM riots) until November.

And, should the Democrats expand their majorities at that time, then for ever more.

The absurdity is that you think that is a real comparison.

Do you think congress should do away with laws prohibiting obstructing proceedings of congress?

Even with the 1/6 thing, they are going to take the biggest bath in history. I think even many liberals see through the canard of blaming Republicans for a largely peaceful event that got out of hand.

Act like a shit stain, expect to suffer the consequences...
Unless you are a liberal. See any denouncements of the rioting, looting and killing by BLM and Antifa in Seattle and elsewhere? Nope. Just praise heaped on them by kamala.

Of course there is a comparison. There was violence and destruction of federal property by both sides during protests. In fact, it's not a hard arguement to make there was considerally more violence and damage caused by Leftist protesters.

AP is also reporting on this..

“Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” Carter wrote in the ruling submitted in the federal Central District of California.

So, insurrection, overthrowing the government, threatening to hang the VP, etc was the same as a BLM protest.

Wow, what a wall of cognitive dissonance you have to build every day to live in your delusion.

The illegality of the plan was obvious," Carter, who was appointed by former President Clinton, wrote.

Nuff said

It has NOT been classified as an insurrection. WHERE do you get this from? One guy making a statement to hang Pence is NOT tens of thousands planning some overthrow.

You will make any excuse for the group of republicans that tried to end our democracy.

Is that something you're proud of? Does your family have the same beliefs? Have you been ostracized for your beliefs?
