According to emails that have been released between Trump's then-lawyers John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, the legal team believed that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was their "only chance" at getting the 2020 election results overturned. Specifically, they wanted to use Thomas' jurisdiction over Georgia to hold up the election results, hoping things would snowball from there. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses their plan.

So yesterday we got a new batch of emails from Trump attorney John Eastman. These of course, are the emails that he was hoping to keep hidden from the public. And of course, after reading them, it's pretty obvious why he didn't want anyone to see these emails. In the emails, Trump lawyers, John Eastman and Kenneth Chesbro were going back and forth talking about how Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was their only hope at overturning the 2020 election results. So here's the way it played out, and I'll read the exact emails in just a moment, but I just wanna give you a quick overview. Uh, Kenneth Chesbro, one of Donald Trump's attorneys at the time, emails John Eastman, and he basically lays out this plan saying we have to challenge in Georgia because those are the courts that Clarence Thomas has jurisdiction over. And of course, Clarence Thomas would be our only hope, right?

Obviously our best friend at the Supreme Court. So we need to challenge in an area where Clarence Thomas would be the one person to rule on it. John Eastman, of course. Agreed. So here's what the email said. We wanna frame things so that Thomas could be the one to issue some sort of stay or other circuit justice opinion saying Georgia is in legitimate doubt, our only chance to get a favorable judicial opinion by January 6th, which might hold up the Georgia account in Congress. I think I agree with this. Eastman replied, so there you have it. They targeted Georgia. The entire scandal and the ongoing criminal investigations in Georgia all stemmed from one simple fact, and that is that Clarence Thomas would have judicial jurisdiction over that challenge. See how all the pieces of the puzzle are now starting to come together, right? Because for a long time, a lot of us had wondered like, Why Georgia, even if you flipped Georgia, you're not going to be able to get enough electoral college votes to, to win the election.

So why did they focus all of their energy there? Now we know that big giant question mark that has been hovering over the state of Georgia for two years has finally been answered. They picked that state because they knew that the corrupt and incompetent Clarence Thomas would be the one to oversee any challenges coming from that state. So that is where they focused all their attention. That, of course, is why Sidney Powell sent her people down there to Coffee County to start copying a uh, uh, voting machine data. All of it makes so much more sense now, and I love it. Right? Isn't it nice to finally get some answers? Isn't it nice to see the picture of the puzzle coming together piece by piece?

Yes, it has taken two years to get us to this point, but now we're starting to get answers. And once we start to get answers, then, then we may get to the point where we start to see criminal indictments. That's the exciting part of what is happening right now. And of course, as I mentioned, these were the e uh, emails that John Eastman was trying to keep hidden from the public. Did not wanna release them to investigators because he had claimed attorney client privilege, right? Oh, no, no, no, no. We're talking about cases that I'm working on for Donald Trump. Those are protected. And of course, recently a judge came out and said, Yeah, but I've seen them, and it looks like you and Trump were planning a crime. Therefore, these are not protected by attorney client privilege.
