we texted him. no luck there either. we did find people connected to him and spoke to a couple people connected to him. one of us one of them told us that they would pass on our message to him. somegoid else connected to him gave us a seventh phone number for him, but we had no luck at that number either. we left voice mail. we texted him there as well. i m beginning to think we are not going to hear back from john eastman for comment. but fingers crossed, right? hope springs eternal. also i will never ever report anything as apparent good news ever again. i m sure i m the one who just jinxed all of it. just within the last hour, the washington post just reported this same trump lawyer is expected to be subpoenaed by the january 6th committee in congress, which of course is investigating the attack on the capital in the leadup to it. the chairman of that committee told the washington post
played it. is everyone okay? what happened? did anybody see? someone drove a hot dog shaped car through the window. the driver is gone. somebody call the cops. they could have killed someone. whose car is this? yeah. come on! whoever did this, just confess. we promise we won t be mad. what? we ll close our eyes. just take your car and get out of here! the guy in the hot dog suit. come on! it s so good. whoever did this so it s too good to be true. here s what i m talking about. friday night show i reported on this remarkable sort of, who me? like guy in the hot dog suit moment from a man named john eastman. by now john eastman s name is
