Out of respect for grand jury secrecy, we will not disclose the substance of the questions or testimony. We wish to thank the grand jurors for their service.\u201d Eastman\u2019s lawyers said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy all indications, the District Attorney\u2019s Office has set itself on an unprecedented path of criminalizing controversial or disfavored legal theories, possibly in hopes that the federal government will follow its lead.\u201d the lawyers, Charles Burnham and Harvey Silvergate wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCriminalization of unpopular legal theories is against every American tradition and would have ended the careers of John Adams, Ruth Ginsburg, Thurgood Marshall, and many other now-celebrated American lawyers. We ask all interested observers of any political persuasion to join us in decrying this troubling development.\u201d the lawyers added.<\/p>\n<p>The January 6 Committee sent the feds after Trump lawyer John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their massive election fraud operation in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s election lawyer John Eastman said the FBI searched and seized his phone last June.<\/p>\n<p>Eastman filed a federal lawsuit in New Mexico in June and asked a judge to order the feds to return his property and block the January 6 investigators from accessing his phone.<\/p>\n<p>According to the court filing, John Eastman was exiting a restaurant with his wife and friend when FBI agents ambushed him and \u201cforced\u201d him to unlock his phone.<\/p>\n<p>The federal agents then took Eastman\u2019s iPhone 12 Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker Carlson Interviews Conservative Lawyer John Eastman To Discuss The Democrats&#8217; January 6th Witch-Hunt &amp; The FBI Seizing His Phone Without Showing Him A Warrant <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ei1ZY3IzpX\">pic.twitter.com\/Ei1ZY3IzpX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Columbia Bugle  (@ColumbiaBugle) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ColumbiaBugle\/status\/1541587201208852480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 28, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/07\/federal-state-prosecutors-target-trump-election-lawyer-john\/\">Federal and State Prosecutors Target Trump Election Lawyer John Eastman<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal and state prosecutors are targeting Trump\u2019s election lawyer John Eastman for his role in challenging the 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
