Conservative lawyer George Conway took to X on Tuesday to mock Fox News for putting John Eastman, a far-right Donald Trump lawyer accused of helping to engineer the plot to throw out state electors in 2020, on air to defend his actions.

"We did nothing wrong," Eastman told Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "We were challenging the election for what even Pence described as serious allegations of fraud." In reality, even Eastman himself acknowledged privately to Trump that the plan he outlined in his memo to the Trump team was against federal law.

"You’d think Fox would have 787.5 million reasons not to put this guy on their air," wrote Conway, a longtime critic of the Trump administration.

Back then that was like "a couple of weeks" before elections in Hillarys case, still 36 18 14 months in the case of the former guy (and he is not even the chosen candidate yet). Back then they were suggesting the indictments may hit a freshly elected potus, now the indictments are already real on a simple citizen. :brickwallsmall:



ETA. there was a suggestion that I may have gone against the traditional time measurements :bag:

Huckabee has some stupid stuff to say. If tfg is blocked in court, he says, "This will be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets."

CNN was carrying the first portion of the GA hearing today live, until they cut away and discussions focused on that case. Switched over to Fox, they're busy blathering on about Biden and Harris and I know not what else. Priorities!

IMHO, this isn't worth putting on the Media Moves thread.

Honestly, I really don't care if it's a (D) or an (R) who takes the Governor's Mansion in Florida after DeSantis, as long as Ladapo gets the axe. NADT.

Dominion’s $1.6B defamation suit against Newsmax set for 2024 trial

The decision by Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis means — barring an out-of-court settlement — Trump’s lies about the 2020 election will be front and center at a four-week trial during the closing weeks of the 2024 election.
