would i would say is that the 100,000 documents that the committee has received i cannot comment on specifics. but when i would say and i ve said this before these things of the tip of the iceberg. they paint a really clear picture, as you just discussed, of let s just find the votes. of let s find a factor by which we can multiply the votes and then do the math. that is not how you do elections. you do not just do the matt under some different equations come out with a result that you want and pick different electors. so, this whole scheme, which he clearly, personally admits is a cover, essentially for stealing the election, it is to keep part of the story that we have to tell, through the committee. and that will go into much more depth when the committee has hearings in june. can you tell us a bit about the thrust of what the committee is hoping to learn from the emails that eastman has not yet turned over? well, if every email we get from him is a treasure trove of
committee investigating january 6th, democrat jamie raskin of maryland, told washington post, quote, eastman was not doing anything that trump himself was not doing. they are both trying to get officials in the electoral process to substitute a counterfeit for the actual vote totals. right now, at this moment, the committee is fighting a legal battle to obtain more of eastman s emails from the days leading up to january 6th. every new piece of information that the committee finds about these coup plotters is damning. and this is just yet another example of how they are trying to use the levers of power and ketone trump the white house. and it is mostly by sheer luck and quite honestly, the willingness of a handful of people to actually stand up to trump, to say that that plot they did not work. but trump or perhaps even some future republican is quite free to try again.
eastman fit into that circle? what i can say that he was clearly a central figure in this plot. just the volume of emails that we know exists and the types of people that he was reaching to in this case, like a legislator in pennsylvania, and the volume, and the content that we are aware of in previous discussions, they show that he is a key cog in this machine that was trying to piece together a different election result and what the voters had decided when they went to the polls that day. and finally, i have to ask you about those public hearings that are set to start at about a month. what more does the committee need before then? and will you start those hearings regardless of whether you finish your work in trying to get to the bottom of this? so, we are planning to start the hearings in early june, around june 9th. as we approach the hearings, we are still conducting interviews.
transparent. but as some journalists who have long observe the region have noted, history does not offer much hope in that regard. the committee to protect journalist reports that 17 your lungs have been killed armored id since the start of this. hear our deepest condolences to the abu akleh s loved ones. abu akleh s loved ones all in starts. now tonight on all in voila, we have enough votes to barely get over the finish line. the so-called architect of donald trump s coup, in his own words, tonight the explosive new emails from john eastman, and then, how lawmakers are working to overturn the vote and may be on the verge of taking over the states elections. plus, the demands for answers as a palestinian american journalist is killed in the west bank. and how did lindsey graham get caught on tape endorsing joe biden? totally.
we are still receiving documents. there are still information that is important to the work of the committee. and this work in june is for us to lay out the work and the work product on the picture with the information that we have received over the course of the year over the course of our investigation. but we will continue to pursue the truth. and we will get more information and can to talk to witnesses. and all information that we gather will collectively go into the report later on in the hearing. all right, congressman congresswoman elaine luria, thank you for your insights. thank you. it is important to remember here that the attempts at election subversion have actually not stopped with the removal of president trump. many in the maga crew who tried to steal 2020 are now attempting to gain control over elections in states like pennsylvania, and in fact the state representative who john eastman was just emailing him with about the turnover, believe it or not, is actually
