The ex-president and his allies believe he can pretend he had no part in conservative lawyer John Eastman's plot to rescind the political election results.

Donald Trump had several declared coconspirators in his effort to overturn the outcomes of the 2020 election-- take a look at Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell-- however, none extra so than John Eastman. This ultra-conservative lawyer authored a six-step preparation for Mike Pence to obstruct the qualification of Joe Biden's win.

As federal judge David Carter crafted in March, "Dr. Eastman, as well as Head of state Trump, released a project to rescind a democratic election, an activity extraordinary in American history," including: "The illegality of the strategy was obvious." And also, while neither Trump nor the top tiers of his internal circle are typically recognized for their intelligence or powers of assumption, they do seem to realize that what Eastman did looks poor, as does the ex-president's association with him-- specifically as the Justice Division as well as January 6 committee dig deeper into the events before, during, and after the Capitol strike.

This is why they've supposedly created a plan they think will keep the heat off Trump regarding: responsibility for the entire point: criticizing it all on Eastman and pretending Trump had absolutely nothing to do with it.
