During the last day of the partisan Nancy Pelosi-sanctioned January 6 committee hearing, the committee’s members referred 45th President Donald J. Trump, among others, including his former lawyer John Eastman, for prosecution. Eastman lives in Santa Fe and has been constantly harassed by far-left protesters outside of his residence for months.
“We believe that the evidence described by my colleagues today … warrants a criminal referral of former President Donald J. Trump, John Eastman, and others,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland).
The sham committee referred Trump for prosecution on the following counts:
- Obstruction of an official proceeding;
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States;
- Conspiracy to make a false statement; and
- Conspiracy to defraud the U.S. by assisting, aiding or comforting those involved in an insurrection
Eastman faces the same referral on alleged “Obstruction of an official proceeding.” Legally, on January 6th, no such “insurrection” took place. There was no such conspiracy to defraud the country nor false statements made before the partisan committee.
Eastman’s legal representatives at Burnham & Gorokhov, PLLC wrote following the news, “A criminal ‘referral’ from a congressional committee is not binding on the Department of Justice and carries no more legal weight than a ‘referral’ from any American citizen,” adding, “In fact, a ‘referral’ from the January 6th committee should carry a great deal less weight due to the absurdly partisan nature of the process that produced it.”
“At its inception, the January 6th committee had the resources and mandate to make important contributions in the area of Capitol Security, Electoral Count Act Reform and other areas of potential legislation. Sadly, this opportunity has been squandered in favor of concocting a pretend ‘criminal case’ from pretend prosecutors designed to create political advantage for the Democratic Party and stigmatize disfavored political groups. The American people have been ill-served by the January 6th committee and its members,” the firm continued.
According to the Albuquerque Journal, “A 154-page executive summary to the committee’s full investigation was released Monday. The summary mentions Eastman 166 times.”
Criminal charges are not mandatory of the Department of Justice and are at the discretion of special counsel Jack Smith.

Where is the footage of January 6 they have kept hidden from us, where and who is the pipe bomber, and how can they press any of these charges. It is “double jeopardy” since impeachment #1 or 2 tried to use the same charges. They are just panicking. There was no insurrection, but there were paid agents trying to start an insurrection. The blood is on their hands.
Yup, this was all to cover the election fraud.
I completely agree with Kim and Rick!
Screw the January 6 bogus committee.
Dear Mr. Eastman
Thank you for taking a stand and having the guts to put up with the fools that are making life tough for you. I know that if anyone went after the left the way they have gone against this country they would be sniveling in a corner sucking their thumb. Glad you supported Block, I think he will do great things if given the chance by our sniveling republicans. Go John.
