Multiple stories broke over the past 24 hours providing yet more evidence of Trump's criminal attempt to overturn the election results. First, CNN reported that a Trump lawyer named John Eastman drafted a 6-point-plan to unconstitutionally overture the election results. Trump pressed Vice President Mike Pence to "listen to John" and refuse to certify Joe Biden the winner. Second, the New York Times reported that an internal Trump campaign memo had concluded that the election fraud claims later made in fraudulent court cases filed by Sydney Powell and Rudy Giuliani were "untrue." Yet, even knowing the claims were baseless, the Trump lawyers went on the push the election lies. Here is what the Department of Justice should do with this ADDITIONAL evidence of the election crimes committed by Trump and his co-conspirators.
