here s what mike pence described his final days wit donald trump in an op-ed in th wall street journal. quote, on january 5th i got an urgent call that the president was asking to see me in th oval office. the president s lawyers, including john eastman, we r now requesting that i simply reject the electors. i later learned that mr. eastman had conceded to my general counsel that rejecting electoral votes was a bad idea and anytime to do so would b quickly overturned by unanimous supreme court. this guy didn t even believe what he was telling th president. right before going to bed, i saw the trump campaign heade to the station statement, th new york times reported i ha told the president i didn believe i had the power to block congressiona certification of the election. that was true, but statement called it fake news i. had a feeling january six, 2021, was going to be a very lon day. i rose early that day an worked on my statement congress when the phone rang a little after 11 a.m.

your intro, but i just don t quite get it and you said it s not working. and i think, strategically, it looks like it was not they did not play their hand particularly well here but as someone who served in that body and i know you served for term and then you left and cam back - if you could shed any light or insight into why why did they do this why did they go to the mattresses on this why did they go to the mos extreme form of punishment only to have the sort of blo up in their face i have to say they are an incredibly retaliatory body. the administration i retaliatory. the body is retaliatory. if they don t they are like kicking screamin toddlers, quite frankly. if they don t get their wa exactly then they really don t know how to solve problems it s really very - you can see that in th legislation that they bring. they are not thinkers.
the importance of the attorney client privilege however, if it looks like th attorney is involved i criminal conduct eithe knowingly, being complicit i the crimes of the clients, o if the client is using the attorney unwittingly t facilitate his crimes, eithe one of those two circumstances can cause the crime frau exception to be applied to the attorney client relationship it will yield. which one of those two thing best characterizes what evan corcoran has done? naturally important. if he is complicit in th crimes of donald trump, he wil probably march right into th grand jury and plead the fifth and invoke his first amendment right against self incrimination. jack smith s team will have decision to make today grant evan corcora immunity and compel hi testimony which would almost certainly incriminate hi client donald trump?
