- When it comes to Jan. 6 and the attempt to rig the 2020 election, former Donald Trump impeachment lawyer and Ethics Czar Norm Eisen provided a list of the top co-defendants that he believes will also be indicted alongside the former president.
- Eisen brought up his model prosecution letter that was published to Just Security last week when speaking to former FBI deputy director Andy McCabe and legal expert Allison Gill.
- Most are not very extensive, according to Eisen, but Eisen developed one that is over 250 pages in order to attempt to cover every scenario.
- According to Eisen, he needed to submit a prosecution memo or pros memo that explains the reasons that the charges meet the DOJ’s charging standards.
- The capacity to secure a conviction at trial and then uphold that conviction on appeal is the focus of these prosecution memos. You must name the defendants and the charges; occasionally, you will also have to mention the defenses and explain why they won’t work.
- Such memos are not extensive documents. He also added that he will probably have to talk about where he got the idea for this 250-page memo. The only 250-page memo in history is this one. The real ones are brief, he exclaimed.
- In addition, memos like these, according to McCabe, can occasionally be enigmatic, but in this instance, Eisen is attempting to “sift through everything” to provide all viable alternatives. Such memoranda can occasionally be confusing, but Eisen is attempting to “sift through everything” in this memo to provide all viable alternatives, according to McCabe.
- Donald Trump, John Eastman, and Ken Chesebro are three names Eisen mentions as potential co-defendants. Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows are two auxiliary figures.
- According to former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) explanation to MSNBC, there are concerns that Giuliani may already be helping with the special counsel through a proffer deal, which can be a kind of forerunner to a collaboration agreement.
- After the podcast was released, Eisen said on Twitter that he firmly believes Eastman will be indicted in connection with the federal charges among the top three.
- Gill stated that Eisen’s breakdown of the conspiracy into three parts—the conspiracy to defraud the United States with the use of false electors, the conspiracy to hinder the legal process by exerting pressure on Mike Pence, and the encouraging of the insurrection—left her feeling particularly shocked. She mentioned that there were other additional aspects, such as fundraising, donations from rallies, threats against authorities, assistance from members of Congress, and other things. Eisen clarified that these are the three elements that it will ultimately lead back to in its essence.
- He went on to say that the creation of a final report by the House Select Committee, which looked into the attack on January 6 and the attempt to rig the 2020 election, was a significant factor in this.
- So, in creating his own fake indictment, he adhered to a sort of legal Occam’s Razor, where the most obvious course is the one that makes sense and can be successful.
