This month, The Post reported that Secret Service and U.S. embassy staffers paid nearly $100,000 in hotel-room bills to support Eric Trump’s trip to promote a Trump-brand condo tower in Uruguay.

  • Two GOP officials urged voters to make sure "rational Republicans" don't lose the "GOP civil war."

Here’s How Trump’s 2020 Election Lawyer Thinks GOP-Controlled States Can Cause Electoral Chaos in 2024​

Former President Donald Trump increasingly appears to be set on running for the highest office in the land in 2024.

Whatever the 45th president’s chances in a rematch against President Joe Biden might be, a recently-released legal memo providing the Trump White House with advice on how to overturn the 2020 election outcome offers insight into how the GOP might try to use the courts to successfully overturn election results next time around.

Authored by Claremont Institute senior fellow John Eastman, the six-page document bore the cryptic title “January 6 scenario.” University of Texas Law Professor Steve Vladeck said it could better be described as a “how to coup in six easy steps.”

“Among other things, Eastman falsely claimed there were dueling slates of electors *and* that Pence *could* act unilaterally,” Vladeck noted in a brief Twitter thread on Monday morning.

The memo operates on the presumption that the actions of various state entities–such as court systems and elections administrators–violated state laws in seven states by, for example, extending ballot-return deadlines and making it easier to register to vote. Eastman also claims these actions violated the U.S. Constitution.

“Because of these illegal actions by state and local election officials (and, in some cases, judicial officials, the Trump electors in the above 6 states (plus in New Mexico) met on December 14, cast their electoral votes, and transmitted those votes to the President of the Senate (Vice President Pence),” Eastman inaccurately writes in the memo. “There are thus dual slates of electors from 7 states.”

That, of course, didn’t happen.

Though dueling electoral slates are not a novelty in U.S. presidential election history, they are a bit of an oddity. And there were no dueling slates of electors from a single state for the 2020 contest.

Inaccuracies regarding past facts aside, Eastman’s overarching legal theory could have teeth in a similarly litigious–and similarly close–electoral environment in future U.S. presidential elections.

Eastman writes, emphasis in original, “Article II, § 1, cl. 2 of the U.S. Constitution assigns to the legislatures of the states the plenary power to determine the manner for choosing presidential electors.”

In other words, Eastman argued that state legislatures have something akin to absolute power over how elections are run in their respective states–even in the face of electoral administrators implementing statutes court decisions invalidating statutes. The conservative lawyer’s theory would imbue legislators themselves with the power to decide whether or not electoral laws are being accurately followed and enforced.

University of California, Irvine School of Law Professor Richard “Rick” L. Hasen recently gamed out how Eastman’s theory might used by a GOP-controlled state legislature next time in an article for Slate:

Imagine that a state legislature sets forth general rules for conducting the 2024 election, but it does not provide every detail about how the election is run. Republican legislatures in states won by the Democratic candidate could seize on some normal election administration rule created by a state or local election administrator or some ruling from a state court, and argue that implementation of the rule renders the presidential election unconstitutional, leaving it to the state legislature to pick a different slate of electors.

Key here is whether Congress would actually accept such a controversially-chosen slate of electors in a situation where voters went the opposite way. Eastman’s memo, as noted above, also has an avenue for an end-run around such considerations.

From the memo at length:

…The 12th Amendment provides that “the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.”

…There is very solid legal authority, and historical precedent, for the view that the President of the Senate does the counting, including the resolution of disputed electoral votes (as Adams and Jefferson did while Vice President, regarding their own election as President), and all the Members of Congress can do is watch.
In the memo, Eastman “war gam[ed]” out various scenarios in which then-Vice President Mike Pence could have asserted such authority in order to hand Trump an anti-democratic victory.

VP Pence opens the ballots, determines on his own which is valid, asserting that the authority to make that determination under the 12th Amendment, and the Adams and Jefferson precedents, is his alone,” the memo argues before later asserting: “The main thing here is that VP Pence should exercise his 12th Amendment authority without asking for permission – either from a vote of the joint session or from the Court. Let the other side challenge his actions in court.”

In 2024, of course, Vice President Kamala Harris is likely to remain the president of the U.S. Senate, which would obviously complicate the potential for an end-run past Congress.

State Department Investigating if Trump Officials Stole G7 Gift Bags Meant for Foreign Leaders​


Protocol was never high up on the priority list during Donald Trump’s presidency. Little wonder then that gift exchanges with foreign leaders were, quite simply, a mess. A process that is usually highly regulated and has little in the way of inconsistencies or questions devolved into a scattershot effort that often didn’t follow established procedures and had little-to-no oversight, according to the New York Times. We had already received hints that this was the case a few months ago when it was revealed the State Department was trying to locate a bottle of whisky valued at $5,800 that the Japanese government gave former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Politico later reported the State Department’s inspector general was investigating some 20 types of missing gifts. But it turns out there are a lot more questions surrounding gifts during the Trump administration, according to the extensive Times report.

Potential candidates always test political waters in Iowa. Trump's trip is different​

excerpts......

There always seems to be someone testing the presidential waters in Iowa.

Coming to the early presidential nominating state this far ahead of the contest is about meeting voters and laying the groundwork for a potential campaign.

Kedron Bardwell, a political science professor at Simpson College, says Trump has mostly frozen the field for Republicans.

"It doesn't mean they're not testing the waters," Bardwell said. "But I don't think people want to go through the amount of work it would take to build the infrastructure and get, you know, the donations lined up, ready to go, if they know that in a few months, he's just going to drop his hat in the ring anyway."

Baseless claims about the 2020 outcome​

Trump's trip to Iowa brings up another thing that's unprecedented: the false claims he's pushing about the 2020 election being stolen. There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, but Iowans are asking about it at town halls.

At one last month for Grassley in rural western Iowa, a man in the back of the crowded room told the senator that he doesn't trust the outcome of the election.


the big lie is working on the weak minded and the gulable...


"I feel in my heart that there was a lot of cheating going on," the man said.

Grassley didn't directly correct the claim. Instead, he defended Iowa's elections and criticized congressional Democrats' plan for a federal voting overhaul.

Bardwell says misinformation has taken hold in the GOP.

"You can't put the genie back in the bottle, in terms of once this accusation is unleashed," he said. "And once it's believed by a large percentage of the Republican base, there's kind of no going back at that point. Mainly because kind of the psychological dynamics of misinformation are such that at that point, people will just find and then rationalize the position that they already have."
