18 short metasternal projection by a notably extended interval, the coxæ contiguous, the first four joints of the hind tarsi subequal, the infra-lateral cephalic carinæ fine but subentire, the eyes moderate and the antennæ are strongly incrassate, with transverse penultimate joints. The type is the following:

This species is chiefly remarkable in its very exceptional sexual modifications of the head, which, in the male, is opaque by reason of extremely small strong reticulation, rather flattened above and feebly impressed along the median line; in the female it is more convex, even, shining and very much more feebly and less minutely micro-reticulate.

The species here assigned to typical Atheta, although exhibiting much diversity of structure, agree tolerably well among themselves in the small or very moderate size of the body, in having the abdomen parallel or virtually so, the eyes moderate in size, generally at their own length from the base, the antennæ moderate in length and gradually incrassate, the mesosternal process acute, the metasternal short, the coxæ approximate and the basal joints of the hind tarsi subequal among themselves, although the basal joint is occasionally a little shorter or longer than the second. In the descriptions the infra-lateral carinæ of the head are alluded to simply as carinæ.

 pure white to black and forbade it to fly any longer among other birds. On another occasion this provoking little servant was given a cup and told to fetch some water for a sacrifice to Jupiter. Instead of attending to its duty, however, it loitered at a fig tree until the fruit became ripe, then returned to the God with a watersnake in his claws and a lie on his tongue. For punishment the crow was fixed in the sky with the cup and the snake, the latter being charged never to allow him to drink—although the constellation Hydra, which stretches over a quarter of the sky, is certainly not the same little reptile which the crow carried from the spring.

"The Charioteer" is an ancient title retained by the constellation Auriga, although in the star-maps one usually finds a man of huge stature carrying a goat and two frightened kids.

Auriga, according to the earliest Grecian legends, was a chariot-driver identified with Erechtheus, son of the God Vulcan. Erechtheus inherited lameness from his father who was twice thrown from Mount Olympus, the second time falling on the Island of Lemnos instead of the sea,—which broke his ankle. His son, fretting under the inconvenience caused by his deformity, invented the four-horse chariot which provided himself and others with

50 THE MASNAYVI, [BOOK 1. Story XIII. The Prophet's Scribe (p. 81).

The Prophet had a scribe who used to write down the texts that fell from his lips. At last this scribe became so conceited that he imagined all this heavenly wisdom proceeded from his own wit, and not from the Prophet. Puffed up with self-importance, he fancied himself inspired, and his heart was hardened against his master, and he became a renegade, like the fallen angels Harut and Marut. He took his own foolish surmises to be the truth, whereas they were all wide of the mark, as those of the deaf man who went to condole with a sick neighbour, and answered all his remarks at cross purposes.

How philosophers deceive themselves (p. 32).

On the last day,[1] “when Earth shall quake with quaking,”

This earth shall give witness of her condition,

For she “shall tell ont her tidings openly,”

Yea, earth and her rocks shall tell them forth!

The philosopher reasons from base analogies

(True reason comes not ont of a dark corner);

The philosopher (I say) denies this in his pride of intellect.

Say to him, “Go, dash thy head against a wall!”

The speech of water, of earth, of mire,

Is audible by the ears of men of heart!

The philosopher, who denies Divine Providence,

Is a stranger to the perceptions of saints,

He says that the flashes of men’s morbid imaginations

Instil many vain fancies into men’s minds,

But, on the contrary, “tis his perverseness and want of faith

Which implant in himself this vain fancy of negation,

The philosopher denies the existence of the Devil;

At the same time he is the Devil's laughing-stock. 1 Koran xcix. 1-4,

The type, although a female, is described because of its isolated characters relating to the sterna, cephalic carinæ and general outline.

 an easy way of traveling from place to place. For this achievement Jupiter rewarded him with a constellation, choosing five bright stars which actually somewhat resemble an ancient chariot.

Yet, on the star-maps, the Charioteer is pictured with a goat on his shoulders, instead of driving a chariot, although sometimes a chariot has also been represented. Allen says that modern research gives us reason to believe that the constellation was delineated by the early star-gazers of the Euphrates valley millenniums ago and perhaps the Greeks merely impressed their legends on another figure as it is possible they also did in the case of Hercules. The goat which the Charioteer holds, according to one tradition, was the goat on whose milk the infant Jupiter was fed after he had been carried to the island of Crete to escape being devoured by his father Saturn, the God of Time.

and then

It is further related that one day while playing with the goat, Jupiter accidentally broke off one of its horns. In atonement, he filled the horn with fruits and flowers—the horn of plenty—and consoled the goat by giving it a constellation. The brilliant star, Capella, lies on the heart of this goat, the name signifying "the little She-goat," and not only the Greeks and Romans, but the ancient Peruvians, far across the ocean, connected this star with the affairs of shepherds. English poets refer to Capella as the "Shepherd's Star."

15 Amendment grounds.

Mr. Well, then, if he's going to assert it, would he assert it so I can hear that?

Mr. Certainly.

The Yes. On advice of counsel, I'm asserting the Fifth.

Mr. Okay. So to be clear, you're asserting the Fifth Amendment as to whether or not you were answering -- you're asserting the Fifth as to whether or not you're refusing to answer questions just about all of your actions or also about the ideas that you have about the electoral college. Is that right?

The And on advice of counsel, yes, I'm asserting the Fifth.

Mr. Thank you. I yield back.

Do any other members have questions?

16 regarding efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, regarding the 2020 election, did you speak with Representative Scott Perry?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, with regard to the 2020 election and any efforts to change the outcome of the election, did you speak with Senator Josh Hawley?

Fifth.

And just so I understand, Dr. Eastman, with regard to whether you had any conversations with Senator Josh Hawley about efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, you're taking the Fifth Amendment on the grounds that your answer could tend to incriminate you?

Fifth.

Is that a yes?

Mr. That was an invocation of the Fifth in response to your question about his basis for taking the Fifth, but I think it could be taken as a yes.

Okay. Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to ask about the basis for taking the Fifth, I just wanted to clarify that he was taking the Fifth on the grounds that it could incriminate him, not anything about the factual basis or legal basis underlying that.

Dr. Eastman, did you clerk with now Senator Ted Cruz.

Yes.

Dr. Eastman, did you have any communications with Senator Ted Cruz regarding efforts to change the outcome of the 2020 election?

Fifth.

17 Dr. Eastman, did you have any conversations with any other Members of Congress regarding the efforts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, it's been publicly reported that on or about December 31st, 2020, a member of the Trump legal team reached out to you while you were on vacation with your family in Texas.

Dr. Eastman, who contacted you from the Trump legal team?

Fifth.

Did that person ask you to do anything?

Fifth.

Did the Trump legal team ask you to prepare a memorandum regarding the Vice President's role in the counting of electoral votes at the joint session of Congress on January 6th, 2021?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you have a conversation with Senator Mike Lee?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, when asked about a call with Senator Mike Lee by the National Review, you stated to the National Review that you had a conversation with Senator Lee and that, quote, "We were working on broader things," close quote.

Dr. Eastman, what were those broader things on which you were working with Senator Mike Lee?

Fifth.

Okay. I'll pause. Anybody have any questions?

Do any members have any questions at this time?

Mr. I'd like to ask one further question if I could.

18 Yes, of course.

Mr. I'd like to ask Dr. Eastman whether the Vice President has ever exercised unilateral authority to reject electoral college votes coming from a particular State before in American history?

The Fifth.

Mr. I yield back.

BY

Just so I understand, in response to Mr. Raskin's question about a historical fact, not about your conduct, you are invoking your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination?

I claim the Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, on January 2nd, 2021, you appeared on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast. I'm going to read you some brief excerpts there.

Mr. Bannon said, quote, "Are we to assume that this is going to be a climactic battle?" close quote.

Dr. Eastman, you said, quote, "Well, I think a lot of that depends on the courage and the spine of the individuals involved," close quote.

Dr. Eastman, what did you understand Mr. Bannon to mean when he said on this podcast asking whether there could be a climactic battle?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, at the time that you engaged in the podcast on January 2nd, 2021, with Mr. Bannon, had you heard that there would be protests on January 6th?

Counsel, can you clarify the date of the "War Room" podcast in your last question? I thought you had said January 21st.

I certainly didn't mean to. If I did, I apologize. The date of the podcast

19 was January 2nd, 2021. So I'm happy to repeat the question.

If you would, please.

When you were on the January 2nd, 2021, podcast with Steve Bannon called the "War Room," had you heard that there would be protests on January 6th?

Fifth.

When you were on the podcast with Mr. Bannon, had anyone mentioned to you the possibility that protests on January 6th could turn violent?

Fifth.

So on that podcast, after you said, "Well, I think a lot of that depends on the courage and the spine of the individuals involved," Mr. Bannon said, quote, "When you just said the courage and the spine, are you talking on the other side of the football? Would you be -- would you be -- that'd be a nice way to say a guy named Mike, Vice President Mike Pence," close quote.

Your answer: "Yes."

What did you mean when you stated that a lot of that would depend on the courage and spine of Vice President Mike Pence?

Fifth.

On that same podcast, you also told Mr. Bannon that Mayor Rudy Giuliani was working in the Senate to stop the election certification. What work was Mayor Giuliani doing in the Senate to stop the certification?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you speak with any United States Senators about stopping the certification on January 6th?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, will you answer any of my questions regarding your public

20 appearance on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast on January 2nd, 2021?

No. Fifth.

I'll move on.

Any members have any questions at this point?

Okay.

Dr. Eastman, I'm going to ask you some questions about your involvement in a so-called "war room" at the Trump -- I'm sorry. No.

First, I'm going to ask you about some meetings at both the Trump Hotel and the Willard, the latter of which meaning the Willard, we understand, had a war room.

Did you stay at the Willard Hotel between January 3rd and January 8th, 2021?

Mr. Can I interpose a point of order?

Yes.

Mr. It just occurred to me that on several occasions both the Congressman and yourself have asked questions along the lines of, Dr. Eastman, will you answer any questions about some category of topics, like the podcast, and he said no.

Uh-huh.

Mr. I just want to make clear that that's not meant to be a blanket assertion. If any of the members of the committee or yourself want to ask however many questions as you want about any subject, we're happy to answer them.

Okay. Answer them or invoke privileges?

Mr. Most likely the latter.

Okay. I understand that and I appreciate it. I'm also trying to save some time. So if on any of these topics if I ask a question whether or not he'd be willing to answer, I'm asking would he be willing to answer any of them without invoking the Fifth Amendment. If for any of them he is willing, then I would have a much longer list

21 of questions.

Mr. I understand.

Okay. So are you comfortable with me asking that type of question or do you prefer that I go through question by question?

Mr. Perfectly comfortable with that type of question.

Okay.

Mr. I just wanted to make clear we weren't trying to do an improper blanket assertion.

No, I understand.

Mr. I appreciate the question.

Yeah. Thank you for that clarification.

BY

Dr. Eastman, did you stay at the Willard Hotel between January 3rd and January 8th, 2021?

Fifth.

With whom did you meet at the Willard Hotel between January 3rd and January 8th, 2021?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you participate in a so-called "war room" at the Willard Hotel between January 3rd and January 8th, 2021?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, what was the purpose of this war room?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, while you were at the war room between January 3rd and January 8th, 2021, did you have any conversations with President Donald Trump?

22 Fifth.

Just so I understand, Dr. Eastman, with regard to the question of whether you had any conversations with President Donald Trump while at the Willard Hotel war room, you're invoking the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination?

Fifth Amendment right not to be compelled to be a witness against myself.

All right. Before I move on to some of the legal memoranda you wrote, I'll pause to see if anybody has any other questions.

Nope?

Okay.

BY

Dr. Eastman, I'm going to ask you about a couple of legal memoranda that, I believe, don't have your name on them, but have been in public reports attributed to you.

If you could look at exhibit 14 in your binder. There is a two-page memorandum. And just for ease of reference, I may refer to this as the two-page memorandum to distinguish it from another memorandum that I believe you wrote later.

Dr. Eastman, did you write this two-page memorandum?

Fifth.

Just so I understand, Dr. Eastman, you're invoking your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination with regard to whether you are the author of this legal memorandum?

I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment right not to be compelled to be a witness against myself.

Dr. Eastman, did anyone ask you to write this memorandum?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you discuss this memo with Jenna Ellis?

23 Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, to whom did you give this memo?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, the first sentence of the memo starts off by saying, "7 States have transmitted dual slates of electors to the President of the Senate."

Is that statement in this memo true?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, at the bottom of page 1 this memorandum states, "So here's the scenario we propose."

Dr. Eastman, who is the "we" you were -- who is the "we" that the author of this memo referred to?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, on the next page there are six numbered paragraphs. The one that starts with third reads, quote, "At the end, he announces that because of the ongoing dispute in the 7 States, there are no electors that can be deemed validly appointed in those States," close quote, and so President Trump would have a majority of the electors counted, and, quote, "Pence then gavels President Trump as re-elected," close quote.

Dr. Eastman, did you advise the President of the United States that the Vice President could reject electors from seven States and declare that the President had been re-elected?

Fifth.

In the paragraph starting with -- paragraph No. 4, it starts with, "Howls, of course" -- you describe that the Vice President could declare that no candidate received a majority of the electoral votes and, therefore, the election would go to the House of

 Kitty. How can it possibly be your husband? If he’d come in and seen a strange topee in the hall and come upstairs and found your room locked, surely he would have made some sort of row. It must have been one of the servants. Only a Chinese would turn a handle in that way.”

She did feel more herself now.

“It’s not very pleasant even if it was only the amah.”

“She can be squared and if necessary I’ll put the fear of God into her. There are not many advantages in being a government official, but you may as well get what you can out of it.”

He must be right. She stood up and turning to him stretched out her arms: he took her in his and kissed her on the lips. It was such rapture that it was pain. She adored him. He released her and she went to the window. She slid back the bolt and opening the shutter a little looked out. There was not a soul. She slipped on to the verandah, looked into her husband’s dressing-room and then into her own sitting-room. Both were empty. She went back to the bedroom and beckoned to him.

“Nobody.”

“I believe the whole thing was an optical delusion.”

“Don’t laugh. I was terrified. Go into my sitting-room and sit down. I’ll put on my stockings and some shoes.”

24 Representatives, where Republicans control the majority of State delegations and President Trump is re-elected there as well.

Dr. Eastman, did you advise the President of the United States that the Vice President could reject electors from seven States and cause the selection of the President of the United States to be made by the U.S. House of Representatives?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, in the paragraph No. 5 that starts with, "One last piece," the memo states -- and I'm not quoting here, but summarizing -- when the Vice President got to the electoral votes for Arizona and Members of Congress objected, someone in the Senate should filibuster in order to create more time for States to send alternate slates of electors.

Dr. Eastman, did you advise the President of the United States that he should have Members of Congress object to the electors from several States in order to create more time for States to send alternate slates of electors?

Fifth.

And, again, are you invoking your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination with regard to that question?

I'm invoking the Fifth Amendment right not to be compelled to be a witness against myself.

Dr. Eastman, did the President of the United States encourage Members of Congress to object to electors from several States in order to create more time for States to send alternate slates of electors?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you discuss with any Members of Congress your plan to have Members of Congress object to State electors in order to prevent certification of the

“I say, could I have a brandy and soda?”

“Yes, I’ll ring.”

“I don’t think it would hurt you by the look of things.”

They waited in silence for the boy to answer. She gave the order.

“Ring up the laboratory and ask if Walter is there,” she said then. “They won’t know your voice.”

He took up the receiver and asked for the number. He inquired whether Dr. Fane was in. He put down the receiver.

“He hasn’t been in since tiffin,” he told her. “Ask the boy whether he has been here.”

“I daren’t. It’ll look so funny if he has and I didn’t see him.”

The boy brought the drinks and Townsend helped himself. When he offered her some she shook her head.

“What’s to be done if it was Walter?” she asked.

“Perhaps he wouldn’t care.”

“Walter?”

Her tone was incredulous.

“It’s always struck me he was rather shy. Some men can’t bear scenes, you know. He’s got sense enough to know that there’s nothing to be gained by making a scandal. I don’t believe for a minute it

25 electoral votes on January 6th, 2021?

Fifth.

If you look at exhibit 16 -- I'm staying on the topic of that two-page memo -- but exhibit 16 is an opinion and commentary under the heading "Viewpoints" published in The Sacramento Bee. It indicates that it was authored by you.

In that commentary, you describe your two-page memo, which I believe is the one we just went over, as, quote, "a preliminary and incomplete one, a draft of a more complete memo that outlined all the scenarios that had become topics of discussion following the November 2020 election," close quote.

Do you know whether your two-page memo, despite being preliminary and incomplete, was provided to the President of the United States?

Fifth.

Do you know whether that memo was provided to any advisers of the President of the United States?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you write the opinion piece that's in tab 16?

Fifth.

Okay. Just so I understand, Dr. Eastman, you're invoking your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to question whether this opinion and commentary piece with the byline John C. Eastman, you're invoking the Fifth Amendment right to not answer that question?

On advice of counsel, I'm invoking the Fifth.

Okay. I'm going to pause there to see if any members have any questions. And we're still on the first memo, so we haven't yet gotten to the longer version of the memo.

collection of tales published in a serial form ever enjoyed so great a popularity as “;” and the secret of their success lies in the fact that they are stories in the truest sense of the word, illustrating in a graphic and natural style the manners and customs, trials and sorrows, sins and backslidings, of the men and women of whom they treat. The heroes and heroines of these admirable stories belong to every rank of life, from the king and noble to the humble easant.

The Scotsman says:—“Those who have read the tales in the unwieldy tomes in which they are to be found in the libraries will welcome the publication of this neat, handy, and well-printed edition.”

The Dundee Advertiser says:—“Considering how attractive are these tales, whether regarded as illustrating Scottish life, or as entertaining items of romance, there can be no doubt of their continued popularity. We last read them in volumes the size of a family Bible, and we are glad to have an opportunity to renew our acquaintance with them in a form so much more handy and elegant.”

 “Oh, my dear, don’t say things like that to me. It makes me feel quite awkward.”

He took out his handkerchief and dried her eyes. He smiled in a way that she had never seen him smile before. Once more she threw her arms round his neck.

“We’ll have such a lark, father dear. You don’t know what fun we’re going to have together.”

“You haven’t forgotten that you’re going to have a baby.”

“I’m glad she’ll be born out there within sound of the sea and under a wide blue sky.”

“Have you already made up your mind about the sex?” he murmured, with his thin, dry smile.

“I want a girl because I want to bring her up so that she shan’t make the mistakes I’ve made. When I look back upon the girl I was I hate myself. But I never had a chance. I’m going to bring up my daughter so that she’s free and can stand on her own feet. I’m not going to bring a child into the world, and love her, and bring her up, just so that some man may want to sleep with her so much that he’s willing to provide her with board and lodging for the rest of her life.”

She felt her father stiffen. He had never spoken of such things and it shocked him to hear these words in his daughter’s mouth.

“Let me be frank just this once, father. I’ve been foolish and wicked and hateful. I’ve been terribly punished. I’m determined to save my daughter from all that. I want her to be fearless and frank. I want her to be a person, independent of

 “Nothing,” she repeated vehemently. “My heart sinks when I think how we’ve battened on you all our lives and have given you nothing in return. Not even a little affection. I’m afraid you’ve not had a very happy life. Won’t you let me try to make up a little for all I’ve failed to do in the past?”

He frowned a little. Her emotion embarrassed him.

“I don’t know what you mean. I’ve never had any complaint to make of you.”

“Oh, father, I’ve been through so much, I’ve been so unhappy. I’m not the Kitty I was when I went away. I’m terribly weak, but I don’t think I’m the filthy cad I was then. Won’t you give me a chance? I have nobody but you in the world now. Won’t you let me try to make you love me? Oh, father, I’m so lonely and so miserable; I want your love so badly.”

She buried her face in his lap and cried as though her heart were breaking.

“Oh, my Kitty, my little Kitty,” he murmured.

She looked up and put her arms round his neck.

“Oh, father, be kind to me. Let us be kind to one another.”

He kissed her, on the lips as a lover might, and his cheeks were wet with her tears.

“Of course you shall come with me.”

“Do you want me to? Do you want me to?”

“I’m so grateful to you.”

26 Does anybody have any questions about the two-page memo?

Mr. Yeah, I do have a question about that.

In this commentary, Dr. Eastman takes exception to Dean Chemerinsky's statements that he was involved in trying to overthrow the government or stage a coup.

Why did you take exception to those statements?

The Fifth.

Anything else?

Mr. I'm sorry. Did he assert the Fifth Amendment about that?

He did.

Mr. Okay. I just wanted to go back to something that was asked before.

Did you -- were you acting as a lawyer for Donald Trump during the events leading up to January 6th?

The Fifth.

Mr. Are you asserting the Fifth Amendment in your capacity as a lawyer and a citizen or just as a citizen?

The Fifth.

Mr. Okay. I yield back.

Any other members have questions?

Any other staff have questions?

Go ahead.

Along those lines, Mr. Eastman, if you could turn to exhibit No. 5. And this is a filing in the Supreme Court of the United States that is titled, "A Motion of Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, to Intervene in His Personal Capacity as Candidate

And you are listed, John C. Eastman, as counsel of record, from One University Drive in Orange, California, with an email address at Chapman University.

Are you the person that's listed on that Supreme Court filing at exhibit No. 5?

Fifth.

Could you please turn to exhibit No. 8? That is another filing in the Supreme Court of the United States that is titled, "Motion for Expedited Consideration," where, again, John C. Eastman, Esq., is listed as counsel for petitioner, which is Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.

Are you the person that's listed there as counsel of record in exhibit No. 8?

On advice of counsel, I'm asserting the Fifth.

If you could turn to exhibit No. 9. That is a filing in the Supreme Court of the United States that's titled, "Reply to Secretary Boockvar's Response in Opposition to the Motion for Expedited Consideration of the Petition for a Writ of Certiorari."

And that is Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. as petitioner, with Kathy Boockvar, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as respondent, with John C. Eastman listed as counsel of record for the petitioner.

Is that you who is listed on that filing in the United States Supreme Court?

On advice of counsel, I'm asserting the Fifth.

And just to be clear, are you asserting the Fifth Amendment because a truthful answer might tend to incriminate you --

I'm asserting --

-- on this question?

I'm asserting the Fifth.

 was Walter, but even if it was my impression is that he’ll do nothing. I think he’ll ignore it.”

She reflected for a moment.

“He’s awfully in love with me.”

“Well, that’s all to the good. You’ll get round him.”

He gave her that charming smile of his which she had always found so irresistible. It was a slow smile which started in his clear blue eyes and travelled by perceptible degrees to his shapely mouth. He had small white even teeth. It was a very sensual smile and it made her heart melt in her body.

“I don’t very much care,” she said, with a flash of gaiety. “It was worth it.”

“It was my fault.”

“Why did you come? I was amazed to see you.”

“I couldn’t resist it.”

“You dear.”

She leaned a little towards him, her dark and shining eyes gazing passionately into his, her mouth a little open with desire, and he put his arms round her. She abandoned herself with a sigh of ecstasy to their shelter.

“You know you can always count on me,” he said.

“I”m so happy with you. I wish I could make you as happy as you make me.”

“You’re not frightened any more?”

“I hate Walter,” she answered.

He did not quite know what to say to this, so he kissed her. Her face was very soft against his.

Okay. While we're on those documents, tab 9 has a John C. Eastman, and then at the bottom there has a Gmail account. And I'm not going to read the address in case you still use that email account.

Do you still have access to the emails in the Gmail account referenced in the bottom of that page?

Fifth.

And going back to tab 5, similarly, there's a John C. Eastman, counsel of record. At the bottom, there is a Chapman.edu email address.

Do you still have access to the emails in the Chapman email account?

Fifth.

Okay. Going back to exhibit 16, on the fourth page, sort of in the middle of the page, with regard -- and the context is the Vice President's authority to reject electors.

The John C. Eastman who wrote this article, whether that's you or not, wrote, "But as The New York Times confirmed through thorough investigation and reporting on this critical issue, I did not advise Pence to exercise such authority."

You further wrote, quote, "It would be foolish to exercise it" -- meaning that authority -- "in the absence of certifications of alternate Trump electors from the contested States' legislatures," close quote.

Dr. Eastman, do you acknowledge that there were no alternate electors sent from contested States?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, if, in fact, there were no alternate electors from contested States, why did you write in the first sentence of the two-page memo that, quote, "7


text:
Page:CTRL0000034608 - Deposition of John Eastman, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/29

29 States have transmitted dual slates of electors to the President of the Senate," close quote?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, the passage that I read to you from The Sacramento Bee found, at tab 16, where it says, "I did not advise Pence to exercise such authority," why did you write the two-page memorandum stating, "Here's the scenario we propose," if, in fact, you were not proposing that scenario?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did your views change regarding the Vice President's authority after you wrote the two-page memo?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, do you now disagree with the scenario you proposed in the two-page memo?

Fifth.

Okay. I will pause there before I turn to the longer six-page memo.

Do any members have any questions?

Staff?

Okay.

Dr. Eastman, if you turn to tab 15, this is another memorandum, which for ease of reference and to distinguish it from the other memo that we went over, I'll refer to the memo in tab 15 as being the six-page memo.

Dr. Eastman, did you write this memo?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did anyone ask you to write this memo?

 which the country was—all of which is explained more at length by this information which I am presenting, and which I drew up in Sian before the religious, together with the persons who went with me, to clear myself and in order that it might appear thereby that the embassy was accomplished. I petition that it be examined, and a copy be given me as a safeguard for my exoneration in all particulars. In fact the Sianese robbed and captured us and we were carried as prisoners to the city of Judea, which is in the kingdom of Sian. Here we found the fathers and other Christians, who had come from Canvoja, and who were in a sad and unfortunate captivity; they were allowed no churches or provisions, but must seek their food as alms from the heathen, so that the affliction and misfortune which they undergo is a most pitiable thing. When we were all joined together and saw what we must suffer, we decided to seek some remedy. We considered the state of that kingdom, and that the king had expended his substance and had few Sianese troops, on account of the many who had died in the war with Camboja and the war which he was carrying on with Pegu—who had sent a great army against him, so that there were none left in the city except children and women; and that he is a very cruel tyrant and a persecutor of the holy Catholic faith, and will consent to no Christian place of worship in his kingdom, but rather destroys them, and burns those which he may find in other kingdoms. He receives in his kingdom the worship of Mahoma, which is preached with his consent, and he gives per-

Page:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 09).pdf/171

 mission to his subjects to turn Moors. We also considered the king of Canboja was such a friend of ours that he protected our faith, and that he was so placed that he would be heartily pleased to aid the Spaniards with all his power against that tyrant, because the latter would then be destroyed and put in the power of the Spaniards. For this is what he wishes, even although he should help the Spaniards to win all the kingdoms in the neighborhood, of which there are more than twelve; for I have always heard this from him, and further that he wishes to be a Christian and that his whole kingdom should be Christian. Accordingly, pondering over what means we could use to advise your Lordship of all this—as you are a person so jealous of the honor of God and the service of his Majesty, and are in a position to remedy it all; and, with so good and certain an ally, would win all those rich kingdoms and reduce to the holy Catholic faith so many thousands of souls, which are being lost, not by their own fault—we noticed that the king of Sian had been much pained by the death, before he had seen it, of the horse which was brought from your Lordship. And, considering the great pleasure which he took in a philosopher's stone, we promised him that if he would send me to this country I should bring him back a large horse and mare for breeding, and a philosopher's stone a cubit long, which he had said he would prize much. Out of desire for these things, he ordered that I be sent back; and told the fathers that they on his behalf should write to your Lordship—for he is so arrogant that he even sets no store by writing. He ordered to be given to me, to present to your Lordship, two elephants and an ivory

 But he took her wrist on which was a little gold watch and looked at the time.

“Do you know what I must do now?”

“Bolt?” she smiled.

He nodded. For one instant she clung to him more closely, but she felt his desire to go, and she released him.

“It’s shameful the way you neglect your work. Be off with you.”

He could never resist the temptation to flirt.

“You seem in a devil of a hurry to get rid of me,” he said lightly.

“You know that I hate to let you go.”

Her answer was low and deep and serious. He gave a flattered laugh.

“Don’t worry your pretty head about our mysterious visitor. I’m quite sure it was the amah. And if there’s any trouble I guarantee to get you out of it.”

“Have you had a lot of experience?”

His smile was amused and complacent.

“No, but I flatter myself that I’ve got a head screwed on my shoulders.”

HE went out on to the verandah and watched him leave the house. He waved his hand to her. It gave her a little thrill as she looked at him; he was forty-one, but he had the lithe figure and the springing step of a boy.

 tusk, which I have already delivered to your Lordship. After I set out upon the voyage I underwent many hardships, as I arrived at Malaca with ill weather, and when the chief captain found what message I was carrying and learned my intentions in the matter, he wished to interfere with me and detain me and stop the voyage. He attempted to take the elephants from the junk, in order to send them to Goya, and to take me prisoner. And in fact I suffered in the said city and fortress of Malaca, more hardships and hindrances than among the heathen before I was sent on the road with these letters to bring to your Lordship, as appears more at length by the information which I have given your Majesty for the remedy of all this.

In the name of the king of Canvoja, whose ambassador I am, and on behalf of the religious and other Christians who are in captivity in the kingdom of Ssian, and on my own behalf, as ambassador to your Lordship, I petition and beseech that you be pleased to attend to the giving of the aid which has been sought by him. And now I petition in the name of this poor and much-beset king of Canvoja, who is so friendly to our nation and to Christianity, more especially at present, when he has been ruined and is in danger of a return of the king of Sian against him (who would make complete the ruin and desolation of his country), so good a friend of ours, who has no one to aid him. And especially will this aid now be of profit and of immense importance, as the king of Sian is without troops of war and has them scattered; and each day he is becoming more powerful and is possessing himself of the kingdom of Pegu—whose king likewise is a very close friend of the Christians


text:
Page:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 09).pdf/173

 and he is destroying Christian lands and churches which lie within that kingdom, in large numbers. If the aid which your Lordship would send were joined to the power of Canvoja, the principal city of Sian might easily be taken; and then the other kingdoms could immediately and easily be won, for when this one is undone the others have no spirit to defend themselves singly. As the said king of Canvoja continues always to favor and help the Spaniards, as it is certain that he will do, Yndia cannot come to aid in this as it has so many enemies at its gates; and, if your Lordship lend this most just aid, you will add greatly to the service of God our Lord, and it will redound to the great increase of the Christian religion, and will augment the royal crown of the king our lord—besides being a work of charity to succor the man who cries for favor and help, that he may become a Christian. For when he becomes so it will be very easy to bring all those of his kingdom over, with some little effort to see that so good a desire is realized. There are a number of other things which your Lordship can examine and consider in the letters sent by the bishop of Malaca, and those of the religious who remain in Ssian. Beside this there would result an important entrance onto the mainland whence great increase and wealth might result. As to the doubt which exists as to the state in which the king of Canvoja is, I will say that at the time when I was about to leave the city of Ssian there arrived some Sianese soldiers of the number who were in the garrison in Canvoja; and they said that the king thereof had come down from the mountains where he was, and had killed and captured all the Sianese who were there, except some few who had escaped into the


text:
Page:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Volume 09).pdf/174

 mountains; and that they had killed his brother, who had favored the Sianese in Canvoja so that the natives should come to him. The virrey which had remained there had surrendered to the king of Canvoja, who was already possessed of all his lands. This was quite generally known in Ssian, and the king learned of it; and, fearing lest he of Canvoja should come to that country by sea, while he had no troops, he sent three oared vessels to act as sentinels at the mouths of the rivers, to see if he of Canvoja should come, and to advise him thereof. At the time when I went down the river the other three vessels went down, and at the mouth met a Sianese ship which was coming from Canvoja, and they told me that the king thereof was lord of his land and sea, and that they had escaped with much difficulty. They said that there was not at present a Sianese in Canvoja who was not captured. With this second news they confirmed that in the city. When this was learned by the people in the three ships who were acting as sentinels, they went back to tell the king of it, that he might send more men to the sentinel ships, so that they should not be easily overcome, since the king of Canvoja was lord of his lands. I have no doubt that if the king of Sian were gone with all his army, he of Canvoja would wage war; and the Sianese without their king are a people who have no spirit, or arms for their defense, for they possess nothing more than machetes, small bucklers, and javelins made of cane, all of which is a mere trifling armament. The men of Canvoja have many arrows and are very skilful with them. If the king was conquered at first it was because of the little confidence which he had in his own subjects; for, in short, it has since transpired that the larger part of

Dr. Eastman, was anyone else involved in writing this memo?

Fifth.

Okay. Going back to exhibit 16, again, the Sacramento Bee article, you wrote, quote, "Neither version of the memo reflects the advice I gave to then-Vice President Pence, paren, (though, to be precise, the final scenario laid out in the complete memo does), close paren," close quotes.

Was this six-page memo, which you say does not reflect the advice you gave to the Vice President, nonetheless given to President Donald Trump?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, was the six-page memo given to any advisers of the President?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you write a memo that did not reflect your actual advice?

Dr. Eastman, did your view regarding the Vice President's role change after you wrote the six-page memo?

Turning to the memo itself, the memo then, quote, "war games," close quote, several scenarios, including scenarios in which the Vice President rejects ballots from certain States and President Trump is elected.

Dr. Eastman, on the bottom of page 4 of your memo, did you advise the President of the United States that if State legislatures in contested States certified the Trump electors, the Vice President could count those electors and, quote, "Trump wins," close quote?

 them went over to the side of the king of Sian to his own brother, whom he afterwards killed, as I have said. I assure you that the Canvojans, in company with the Spaniards whose aid they would have, are a stronger nation than in all the rest of the country on the field, owing to the advantage in arms which they have over all the other nations in those regions. Accordingly I beseech you not to lose such a friend and helper, and that your Lordship should not permit that through lack of reënforcements, since they can be given, he and his subjects should again become heathens and lose their souls. I remind your Lordship that in the instructions which his Majesty has sent to this city he instructs you that the neighboring kingdoms should be favored, and especially that of Canvoja, for he knows that that is friendly. Again I beseech your Lordship as respectfully as I can, since it is a matter of so great importance which should not be lost, nor should such a wonderful chance be allowed to pass and no advantage taken of it, and of so great a benefit as it promises. I would remind your Lordship that, in the sending of this aid, promptness is above all necessary, in order that it may have a prosperous and successful result. It would be best that it should leave here sometime during the month of September of this year, one thousand five hundred and ninety-five, for that is the best time of the year to follow up these enterprises in favorable weather, since we have ready for it a well-supplied place of residence in which to live and remain secure. In short I petition everything which can be petitioned in such a matter, and which is fitting and could be done, and would result in profit and utility for my parties and for the persons for whom I speak; and

 The verandah was in shadow; and lazily, her heart at ease with satisfied love, she lingered. Their house stood in the Happy Valley, on the side of the hill, for they could not afford to live on the more eligible but expensive Peak. But her abstracted gaze scarcely noticed the blue sea and the crowded shipping in the harbour. She could think only of her lover.

Of course it was stupid to behave as they had done that afternoon, but if he wanted her how could she be prudent? He had come two or three times after tiffin, when in the heat of the day no one thought of stirring out, and not even the boys had seen him come and go. It was very difficult at Hong-Kong. She hated the Chinese city and it made her nervous to go into the filthy little house off the Victoria Road in which they were in the habit of meeting. It was a curio dealer’s; and the Chinese who were sitting about stared at her unpleasantly; she hated the ingratiating smile of the old man who took her to the back of the shop and then up a dark flight of stairs. The room into which he led her was frowsy and the large wooden bed against the wall made her shudder.

“This is dreadfully sordid, isn’t it?” she said to Charlie the first time she met him there.

“It was till you came in,” he answered.

Of course the moment he took her in his arms she forgot everything.

Oh, how hateful it was that she wasn’t free, that they both weren’t free! She didn’t like his wife. Kitty’s wandering thoughts dwelt now for a mo-

 * What gear may we let animals go about in and what not? The male camel in a bridle; the female camel with a nose-ring; Lybian asses in a halter, and a horse in a collar. All (animals) that are used to collars may go out in and may be led by the collar. Such gear (when it becomes defiled) can be sprinkled and submerged without being removed from its (proper) place (on the animal).

 * R. Jehudah in the name of Samuel said: "Rabbi was asked, How is it when the reverse is the case? i.e., when the female camel is bridled and the male camel is invested with a nose-ring? May they be allowed to go about? There is no question as to a bridle on a female camel, for it is considered a burden; as to a nose-ring on a male camel, shall we assume that it is merely an additional safeguard, and thus becomes permissible, or is it an unnecessary safeguard and hence not allowed?" R. Ishmael b. Jossi answered: "Thus my father said: Four animals may go about with a bridle on—the horse, the mule, the camel, and the ass." A Boraitha states: Lydda asses and camels may go about with a bridle on. The following Tanaim, however, differ as to this point (whether a superfluous safeguard is a burden or not): one maintains that no animal may go about burdened with a chain; but Hananya says a chain or anything else that is intended as a safeguard is permitted.

Said R. Huna b. Hyya in the name of Samuel: "The Halakha prevails according to Hananya."

Levi b. R. Huna b. Hyya and Rabba b. R. Huna once travelled together; arriving at an entrance, the former's ass ran ahead of the latter's. Rabba b. R. Huna became dejected (at the lack of respect shown him, supposing it to have been done intentionally). Thought Levi to himself: "I will pacify him

 above all I plead for justice in asking the aid which of right should be given.

Furthermore I say that in the name of the king of Canvoja, as his ambassador, I am prepared to draw up with your Lordship stipulations, and I declare that what shall be agreed to in his name he will comply with, without in any wise failing. For in this whole matter I hold his authority to speak, which is the same as is in practice among us, and which he gave me at my leave-taking, when he told me to use every means to bring him help, and in his name to do and promise everything which should appear best to me, for he should be pleased to comply with all of them. He said that his final aim was to be a Christian, and that this I should tell the governor; and further that he wished to lend all his power to the Spaniards, so that they could conquer the surrounding kingdoms and possess them. As for him and his children, he wished no more than his own kingdom, converted to the faith. Accordingly I am ready to make in his name whatever stipulations may be just, and to bind him thereto as his ambassador, since I am doing it for his sake. On account of this desire, I beg your Lordship, in case this does not take place by reason of some insurmountable difficulty, to order given to me a testimonial of all these matters in such wise as will give them credit; for I intend to go therewith and present myself before his Majesty, seeking justice.

31 And, again, just so I understand, you're invoking your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in refusing to answer the question of whether you advised the President of the United States that if State legislatures from contested States certified the Trump electors, the Vice President could count those electors and Trump wins.

I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment, which specifically says in its text not to be a witness -- compelled to be a witness against myself.

On the bottom of page 4, did you advise the President of the United States that even if the seven States did not send alternate slates of electors, Vice President Pence, nonetheless, could still refuse to count electors from those States and declare that Trump wins?

Fifth.

And, again, you're invoking your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Is that correct?

The language of the Fifth Amendment is I shall not be compelled to be a witness against myself, and that's what I'm invoking.

On page 5 of the memo, did you advise the President of the United States that Vice President Pence could refuse to count electors from seven States because of ongoing election disputes and that, therefore, the U.S. House of Representatives would pick the next President, and that under that scenario Trump wins?

Fifth.

On page 5, did you advise the President of the United States that Vice President Pence could adjourn the joint session of Congress and allow State legislatures to convene and certify alternate slates of electors, allowing President Trump to be re-elected?

 with the following question: Is it permitted to put a halter on an unmanageable ass like mine on the Sabbath?" Rejoined Rabba: "So said your father in the name of Samuel: 'The decision of Hananya prevails.'"

At the school of Menashyah it was taught: A goat with a bridle fastened to his horns is permitted to go about on Sabbath (but not if the bridle was simply tied to the horns, as it may slip off and a man may be forced to carry the bridle).

An objection was raised: "Were we not taught in a Mishna that it is not allowed to let a cow go about with a strap tied between her horns?"

Said R. Irmya b. Aba: On this point Rabh and Samuel differ; according to one it is prohibited at any rate, and according to the other, if for an ornament it is prohibited, but as a safeguard it is permitted. Said R. Joseph: "It seems that Samuel was the one who permitted it as a safeguard, as R. Huna said in his name the Halakha prevails according to Hananya." Said Abayi to R. Joseph: "On the contrary, it may be that Samuel is the one who forbids it at any rate, as R. Jehudah said above in his name: Rabbi was asked: How is it when the reverse is the case," etc. Does this not mean to exclude a nose-ring from a camel? But why should you prefer this latter saying to the former one? Because it was taught: "R. Hyya b. Ashi said in the name of Rabh that it is forbidden at any rate; and R. Hyya b. Abhin in the name of Samuel said: It is permitted as a safeguard."

An objection was raised from the following: If the owner tied the (red) heifer with a halter, she may nevertheless be used. Should you assume that this (halter) is a burden (how could she be used)? (Do not) the Scriptures say [Numbers, xix. 2]: "Upon which there was no yoke"? Answered Abayi: "(It is to be understood) when the owner leads her from one town to another, (the halter is a necessary safeguard, hence no burden)." Rabh said: "There is quite a difference in the case of the red heifer," as she is very valuable (and must be guarded). Rabhina said: "She must have a halter on account of her stubbornness."

"The horse with a collar." What is meant by "go about" or led? R. Huna said: "It makes no difference whether the strap hangs loose on the animal's neck or is used as a rein; but Samuel said they may go about if led (by the strap) but not (with the strap) hanging loose.


text:
Page:New Edition of the Babylonian Talmud (Rodkinson) Volume 1.pdf/131

 A Boraitha teaches: "They may go about with the halter tied round their necks in order that they may be led whenever necessary." Said R. Joseph: "I have seen the calves of R. Huna going out on a Sabbath with their halters round their necks." R. Samuel b. Jehudah, when coming from Palestine, said in the name of R. Hanina that Rabbi's mules also went out on a Sabbath with their halters tied around their necks.

"And are sprinkled," etc. Is this to say that they are subject to defilement? Does not a Mishna state [Kelim, XII. 8] that only rings worn by human beings are subject to defilement, but harness and all other rings are not? Said R. Itz'hak of Naph'ha : The collar-ring having at one time been used by men for personal purposes and become defiled, still retains its defiled character; R. Joseph, however, maintains it is not necessary to claim this. The fact that the collar-ring is used by man for the purpose of guiding the animal lays it open to becoming defiled, as we have learned in the Boraitha which taught us: A metal whip is subject to defilement, for the reason that man uses it to manage the animal with.

"And submerged without removing it from its place." Would this not constitute a case of "Chatzitzah" (intervention). Said R. Ami: "(Intervention of the bridle between the neck and the water) is avoided by loosening the bridle." A Boraitha teaches: "Intervention is avoided by the size of the bridle."

 * The ass may go out with a rug fastened around him; rams may go out with leather bandages tied around their privates; sheep may go out with their tails tied up or down and wrapped (to preserve the fine wool); she-goats may go out with their udders tied up. R. Jossi forbids all this except sheep wrapped up. R. Jehudah says: She-goats may go out with their udders tied up to stop the lactation, but not to save the milk.

 * Said Samuel: The Mishna means: "Only when the (rug) is fastened on Sabbath eve." Said R. Na'hman: It seems to be so from the following Mishna: "An ass may not

32 Dr. Eastman, did you discuss this six-page memo with the President of the United States?

Fifth.

Okay. Next, I'm going to ask you about a January 4th, 2021, meeting with President Trump and the Vice President of the United States, but before I do that, I'm going to pause to see if any members have questions on the six-page memo.

Ms. I have a question really related to a prior comment made by our witness.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be put twice in jeopardy of life or property; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.

Is that in the Fifth Amendment, Dr. Eastman?

Mr. Madam Congresswoman, I've instructed my client, as I've discussed with your colleagues, I think, before you may have joined, that I've counseled him not to discuss the basis for his invoking the Fifth. I would offer only an --

Ms. I'm not asking the basis. I'm just asking, is that what the Fifth Amendment says?

Mr. I expect he'll invoke his Fifth in response to that question. As far as I could tell, it was quoted correctly, and I would just refer this body to cases such as Watkins from the Supreme Court that hold that the Fifth applies in congressional proceedings, and we're invoking it on that basis today.

Ms. I yield back.

Mr. Could I just follow up on that for a moment?

33 Counsel invoked the bar proceeding which is taking place against Dr. Eastman in California. Is it the bar proceeding that is troubling Dr. Eastman with respect to answering these questions or is it something else, Dr. Eastman?

Mr. If I could respond to the question. The bar proceeding is just one of many, many bases that led us to take the -- make the invocation we're making here today.

Mr. Okay. But, Dr. Eastman, you understand that a bar proceeding is civil in nature, do you not?

The Yes.

Mr. Okay. So when you're asserting the Fifth Amendment, it is with respect to other potential criminal prosecutions. Is that right?

The Fifth.

Mr. Okay. I yield back.

Okay. Do any other members have questions?

And I think we've noted the members as they have joined. As you can see, Vice Chair Cheney and Mr. Raskin are still on. Ms. Lofgren was on, but may have left. And I believe Mr. Kinzinger might still be on. Nope, Ms. Lofgren and Mr. Kinzinger are both still on.

So, Dr. Eastman, I'm now going to ask you some questions about the January 4th, 2021, meeting with President Donald Trump and others in the Oval Office.

Dr. Eastman, did you meet with the President of the United States on January 4th, 2021, to provide advice regarding the Vice President's role in counting the electoral votes on January 6th?

 go out with a rug unless fastened." How should this be understood? Shall we say that (the rug) is not fastened at all? Then it would be self-evident, lest it fall off and will have to be carried by a man. We must, therefore, assume that the Mishna's meaning of "not fastened" signifies "not fastened before the Sabbath." Hence Samuel's opinion has a good reason.

And it is also supported in the following Boraitha: "The ass may go out with a rug fastened before the Sabbath, but not with a saddle, even though fastened before." R. Simeon b. Gamaliel says: "Even with a saddle, if fastened before the Sabbath, provided, however, no stirrups are attached to the saddle and a crupper under the tail."

R. Assi b. Nathan questioned R. Hyya b. R. Ashi: "Is it permitted to put a rug on all ass on the Sabbath?" "It is," was the answer. And to the question: "What is the difference (in the Law) between these two?" He was silent. (Misinterpreting the silence,) R. Assi objected: "A Boraitha teaches: It is not allowed to remove the saddle from the ass directly, but one may move it to and fro until it falls off; if you say it is forbidden to handle the saddle, is there any question as to putting it on?" Said R. Zera to him: "Leave him alone! He is of the opinion of his teacher (Rabh), in whose name R. Hyya b. R. Ashi related that he (Rabh) permitted putting a feed-bag on an animal on Sabbath." A feed-bag, which is nothing but an accommodation, is permitted; so much the more a rug, which is a relief! Samuel, however, permitted a rug, but prohibited a feed-bag. R. Hyya b. Joseph reported the opinion of Rabh to Samuel, whereupon the latter said: "If so said Abba, he knows nothing of the laws of Sabbath."

When R. Zera came (to Palestine), he heard R. Benjamin b. Japheth stating in the name of R. Johanan that it is permitted to put on a rug. He thanked him for it and, continuing, remarked: "Thus has the Arioch (King of Laws) in Babylon decided." Who is meant by the title (Arioch)? Samuel.

From the foregoing it is evident that all agree that it is permitted to cover an ass with a rug on Sabbath. But what is the point in which a saddle differs from the rug? It differs therein that a saddle may drop off (and involve the necessity of handling). R. Papa gave another reason: "To cover an ass with a rug is an act of relief, for it is said that an ass feels cold even in summer, but to remove a saddle from an ass's back in order to cool off the ass is not necessarily an act of relief."

34 Dr. Eastman, if I could turn your attention to exhibit 17. This is a National Review article dated October 22nd, 2021, by John McCormack. The title is, "John Eastman vs. The Eastman Memo."

And the bottom of page 7 says, "A source close to Pence tells National Review that the position of Trump and some of his advisers was initially to pressure Pence to reject outright the count of the electoral college votes in decisive States."

Dr. Eastman, did President Trump pressure Vice President Pence to reject outright the electors from contested States?

Fifth.

And, Dr. Eastman, I want to be clear here. I'm not asking about anything you did. I'm asking whether or not President Donald Trump pressured Vice President Pence to reject outright the electors from contested States?

Fifth.

That same article on page 9 states, "According to the source close to Pence, quote" -- and now it's quoting a source -- "'In the last 24 hours or so [before January 6th], it became crystal clear finally -- even though the Vice President had been telling them this for three weeks -- it's finally sunk in he wasn't going to do that. So, then their position moved to: Well, would you delay it and send it back [to the State legislatures]?"' close quote.

And I'll note there were some brackets in there.

Dr. Eastman, did President Donald Trump change his position from pressuring the Vice President to reject electors to instead pressuring Vice President Pence to delay certification and send the election back to State legislatures?

Fifth.

And again, Dr. Eastman, I'm not asking here about your conduct. I'm asking


text:
Page:CTRL0000034608 - Deposition of John Eastman, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/35

35 whether President Donald Trump changed his position from pressuring Vice President Pence to reject electors to instead pressuring Vice President Pence to delay certification and send the election back to State legislatures.

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did your position change from the position in your first memo, what I referred to as the two-page memo, that the Vice President could reject electors, to the position that the Vice President should instead delay certification beyond January 6th to give States more time to send alternate slates of electors?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, regarding your position that the certification of the election should be delayed beyond January 6th, isn't that exactly what the rioters who attacked the Capitol were trying to accomplish on January 6th?

Fifth.

I'll pause there to see if there are other questions regarding that meeting with the President in the Oval Office.

No members?

Any staff?

Okay.

Dr. Eastman, I'm now going to ask you about a meeting that we understand you had with the staff to Vice President Pence the next day, so January 5th, 2021.

Dr. Eastman, did you meet with Marc Short, chief of staff for the Vice President, and Greg Jacob, counsel to the Vice President, in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on January 5th, 2021?

The Fifth.

 An objection was raised. We have learned: "The horse shall not go out with a fox-tail (for a pompon) and calves with the feed-bags on public ground." Shall we not assume that (in the case of the calves) they may not go out on public ground, but they may on private ground, and it refers even to large calves (whose necks are long enough to reach the ground with their mouths easily); thus feed-bags are merely an accommodation? Nay; the permission to carry feed-bags applies only to small calves (whose necks are short and legs long, and to which reaching down to the ground with their mouths would entail a hardship) and must be considered as a necessary relief.

The master said: "She-goats must not go out with a bag attached to their udders." Is there not a Boraitha which teaches that they may? Said R. Jehudah: "This presents no difficulty. In the former case the bag is not tied fast, in the latter it is (and there is no reason for apprehension lest it drop off and will have to be carried)." Said R. Joseph: "Why, you have entirely done away with the teachers of our Mishna. There is a difference of opinion between the teachers in this very Mishna: 'She-goats may go out with a bag tied to their udders.'" R. Jossi forbids all except sheep with covers on to protect the wool. R. Jehudah says: "She-goats may go out with their udders tied up for the purpose of preventing lactation, but not for the purpose of saving the milk."

We have learned in a Boraitha: R. Jehudah related the case of she-goats which he saw in Antioch. Their udders were so large that bags had to be made for them in order to prevent their dragging on the ground and becoming mutilated. (These bags were worn also on the Sabbath.)

The rabbis taught: "It happened with one man whose wife died and left him a nursing child, he was so poor that he could not pay a wet-nurse. A miracle happened to him; his breasts opened and he nursed his child." Said R. Joseph: Come and see how great the man must have been that such a miracle was wrought for him. Said Abayi to him: On the contrary, Behold how bad the man must have been that the nature of mankind changed in him and nothing occurred to enable him to earn enough money to pay a nurse. Says R. Jehudah: Come and see how hard it is for heaven to change the fate of a man concerning his livelihood, that the nature of the world was changed, but not his fate. Said R. Na'hman: It is proven by this fact that

Dr. Eastman, what did you discuss with Vice President Pence's staffers?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, if you look at exhibit 13, there's a Washington Post article dated October 29th, 2021. It says, "Read: Pence aide Greg Jacob's draft opinion article denouncing Trump's outside lawyers."

Just to make clear on the record, what this appears to be is The Washington Post reprinting something written by Greg Jacob who previously had been counsel to Vice President Pence.

In that piece, Mr. Jacob writes that, quote, "One of the President's key outside lawyers agreed with me the day before the events at the Capitol that not a single member of the Supreme Court would support his position," close quote.

Dr. Eastman, when Mr. Jacob refers to one of the President's key outside lawyers, was he referring to you?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you, in fact, agree with Mr. Jacob that not a single member of the Supreme Court would support your position?

Fifth.

And, Dr. Eastman, which position was that that Mr. Jacobs said not a single member of the Supreme Court would support?

Fifth.

Mr. Jacob then writes that this outside lawyer, quote, "acknowledged that 230 years of historical practices were firmly against it, and that no reasonable person

36 ampule inside will be broken, releasing the previously sterilized radioactive medium onto the lines.

Both the test and control Gullivers will be inoculated with soil simultaneously, as described above, but the control instrument will be injected with a metabolic poison soon after inoculation. The purpose of this step is to make sure that any carbon dioxide evolution that is detected is of biological origin. If space is available for more than two Gullivers, the nature of the antimetabolite can be varied so as to provide information on the chemical sensitivity—and therefore on the chemical nature—of Martian life.

In principle, Gulliver is capable of performing many different kinds of metabolic and biochemical experiments. For example, a modified version of the current model would be able to detect photosynthesis by measuring the effects of light and darkness on the evolution of carbon dioxide. This application of Gulliver has been demonstrated in the laboratory. It is important

Rh because we can be certain that if life exists at all on Mars, there will be at least one photosynthetic species that captures energy from the Sun.

The composition of the medium is one of the most interesting problems connected with the Gulliver experiment. Obviously, the success of the experiment depends on the correct choice of nutrients. There are reasons for believing that if life exists on Mars it will be carbonaceous life, as it is on Earth. One can therefore feel reasonably confident that organic compounds of some kind will be metabolized by Martian organisms. However, as the number of possible organic compounds is virtually limitless, this premise does not narrow the range of choices very much. What we need for the Gulliver medium are organic substances that are readily decomposed into carbon dioxide by living organisms and that are of widespread occurrence in the solar system. This problem can be approached experimentally. In fact, the experiment has already been done and has been referred to in the introduction to this book; that is, the experiment of irradiating a mixture of gases simulating the primitive atmosphere of the Earth and planets. As Dr. Stanley Miller first showed, this experiment yielded a number of organic acids, such as formic, succinic, and lactic acids. These acids have exactly the characteristics referred to above: they are readily metabolized to carbon dioxide by terrestrial life, and there is reason to believe that they were formed in large amounts on primitive Mars. It is contemplated that these and a number of other compounds of a similar nature will be among the radioactive nutrients in the Gulliver medium.

Several working models of Gulliver have been built. The model shown in figure 13 has been tested under a variety of conditions: from the sand dunes of Death Valley to above tree-line at the 12,000-foot elevation on White Mountain, California, and from the salt desert of southern California to the woods of Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. In all of these places, Gulliver was able to detect microbial life in a matter of a few hours.

Did Mr. Jacob accurately describe what you said to him on January 5th?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, Mr. Jacob then writes that a fallback plan of this lawyer he refers to was that the Vice President could instead stop the electoral vote count and refer it out to the States.

Of this fallback plan, Mr. Jacob writes, quote, "That suggestion violated several provisions of the Electoral Count Act, had no historical analog, and would deprive Congress of its historical and statutory role in vote counting decisions," close quote.

Dr. Eastman, how do you respond to Mr. Jacob's description of the legal advice you gave the President and Vice President of the United States?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, at the beginning of the meeting on January 5th, 2021, with Marc Short and Greg Jacob, did you, on behalf of the President of the United States, ask that the Vice President reject electors from contested States on January 6th, 2021?

Fifth.

And just so I understand it, in response to the last question, you're invoking your Fifth Amendment right not to be a witness against yourself?

Yes.

Okay. Do any members have any questions?

Mr. I have a question. I'd like to ask Dr. Eastman about the judicial authority going up to January 6th.

More than 60 Federal and State courts have rejected every claim of electoral fraud and corruption advanced by the Trump campaign.

 CHAPTER IX

This instrument, named after Swift’s famous fictional traveller to strange places, is designed to search for microbial life on Mars. The project scientists for NASA are Dr. Gilbert V. Levin of Hazleton Laboratories, Inc., and Dr. Norman H. Horowitz of the California Institute of Technology.

Gulliver consists of a culture chamber that inoculates itself with a sample of soil. The chamber contains a broth whose organic nutrients are labeled with radioactive carbon. When micro-organisms are put into the broth they metabolize the organic compounds, releasing radioactive carbon dioxide. The radioactive carbon dioxide is trapped on a chemically coated film at the window of a Geiger counter. The counter detects and measures the radioactivity; this information will be conveyed to a radio transmitter which will signal it to Earth. Gulliver can detect growth, as well as metabolism, by virtue of the fact that the rate of carbon dioxide production increases exponentially (geometrically) in growing cultures. Exponential production of carbon dioxide would provide strong evidence for life on Mars and would make it possible to estimate the generation time; that is, the time required for doubling the number of organisms in the culture.

In addition to a culture chamber and counter (actually a group of counters in anticoincidence circuitry), Gulliver contains a built-in sample collector. This mechanism consists of two 25-foot lengths of kite line and chenille wound on small projectiles. The windings are made in the manner of harpoon lines to prevent snagging, and the strings are coated with silicone grease to make them sticky. When the space package arrives on Mars, a miniaturized programmer will take charge of Gulliver (actually, at least two Gullivers will be used, one as a test instrument and the other as a control). The projectiles will be fired, deploying the lines over the surface of the planet. A tiny motor inside the chamber will then reel in the lines, together with adhering soil particles. After line retrieval, the chamber of Gulliver will be sealed, and an 35

 a miracle occurred, but he was not provided with means for paying a wet-nurse.

The rabbis taught "It happened once that a man wedded a woman with a mutilated hand, and did not discover it until she died." Said Rabh: "Behold how chaste this woman must have been, for even her husband did not discover it." R. Hyya retorted: "This is nothing! It is natural with women to hide their defects, but note the modesty of the man, who did not discover it in his wife."

"Rams may go out with (leather) bands around their privates." What kind of bands? Said R. Huna: "Hobbles." Ulla said they were leather bands tied around their breasts to prevent them from the attack of wolves. Do wolves attack only the males and never the females? It is because the males always go ahead of the flocks. Do wolves attack only the advance of a flock and never the rear? It is because the males are usually fat. Are there no fat sheep among the females? Moreover, how can the wolves know which is which? It is because the males generally lift their heads and look around cautiously. R. Na'hman b. Itz'hak said they wore leather bands tied around their privates to prevent them from having coition with the females. Whence this inference? From the last clause of the Mishna, "The sheep may go out with their tails tied up," in order that the males may have coition with them; hence we infer that the first clause is for the purpose of preventing them.

"She-goats may go out with a bag tied around their udders." It was taught: Rabh said that the Halakha prevails in accordance with R. Jehudah; and Samuel held it to be in accordance with R. Jossi. Others taught: Rabh and Samuel did not directly cite the opinions of the Tanaim just mentioned, but they themselves decreed as follows: Rabh held that she-goats may go out with their udders tied up for the purpose of preventing lactation, but not to save the milk. Samuel, however, prohibited this in both cases. Others again say: R. Jehudah b. Bathyra long ago decided the same as Rabh, but added that on account of the impossibility of determining what purpose the tying up of the udders would serve, it is entirely prohibited. Thereupon Samuel decided that the Halakha prevails with him. Rabbin upon his arrival in Babylon said that R. Johanan said that the Halakha prevails in accordance with the first Tana.

38 Did you have any reason then, or do you have any reason today, to believe that there was electoral fraud and corruption in the States that materially affected the outcome of the Presidential election?

Mr. If I could have the committee's indulgence.

[Discussion off the record.]

The I claim the Fifth.

Mr. Attorney General Bill Barr famously called Donald Trump's claims of electoral fraud and corruption "bullshit." Do you disagree with that conclusion?

The Fifth.

Mr. I yield back.

Do any other members have questions? Okay.

Dr. Eastman, I've asked you a series of questions about the January 5th meeting with Greg Jacob and Marc Short.

Dr. Eastman, did Greg Jacob on January 6th send you an email summarizing your conversation?

The Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, would you provide to the select committee the email that Greg Jacob sent you on January 6th summarizing your January 5th conversation?

Mr. I beg your pardon. Could you repeat the last question?

Yes.

BY

I was asking Dr. Eastman, would he provide to the select committee the January 6th email from Greg Jacob to Dr. Eastman that summarized their January 5th conversation?

Fifth.

He shook his head.
