The January 6 committee is on an unlawful search-and-destroy mission.

This blatantly political committee, deliberately running afoul of the rules under which it was formed, exists not to find out what went wrong at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, but to wield power over Trump supporters and crush them. Attorney General Merrick Garland and his ‘Justice’ Department are openly helping them do it. One of the latest to fall victim is former Trump attorney John Eastman, who, last Wednesday, had his phone confiscated by the FBI –- on the spot, before he had even been shown a warrant.

“I’d like to see the warrant,” he said repeatedly, hands over his head in obedience. “I’d like to see the warrant before you take my property.” They pulled his phone out of his pocket anyway. He noted to the person recording, “I want you to see that they took my property before providing me with a warrant.

“I’d like to read the warrant,” he continued after they finally showed it, though the FBI already had his phone.

Eastman appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Monday evening show, explaining that the warrant gave him no specifics about what he’s alleged to have done –- “no indication of any crime that this is connected to.” It said they could confiscate his phone, “and all the information contained in the phone.”

It said the allegation was “in an attached affidavit,” but the affidavit was NOT attached to the warrant. “The Fourth Amendment’s very clear here,” he said. “When they search and seize your property, they have to give a particular description of the things to be seized.” If the affidavit wasn’t attached, they didn’t fulfill that requirement.

“The courts have been very clear about that,” he said. “So this warrant is invalid on its face.”

But what he thought was even more important is this: With modern Smartphones, the ‘Justice’ Department now has full access to all his most private information –- financial records, etc. –- and those of his “nearly 100” legal clients. This is privileged information. Eastman likened this to what used to be called a “general warrant” when British kings would issue them, “to rummage through someone’s belongings to see if they could find evidence of some crime.”

So Eastman is another victim of Pelosi’s fishing expedition. “The very reason we have the Fourth Amendment is to prevent that kind of abuse,” he said, “and yet that’s what they’re doing.”

“As an attorney, I have ethical obligations,” he said, “to do everything I can to protect the privileged communications with my clients. So we will be filing a motion --- it’s called a Rule 41 motion --- to retrieve my phone, to retrieve any information they’ve taken off of that phone, that they have illegally seized from me.”

He said they’re forcing those who “don’t bow the knee to the Biden administration to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees trying to protect our constitutional rights and those of our clients.”

(NOTE: Eastman has a GiveSendGo account set up for help with the cost of this legal fight.)

As if this weren’t bad enough, over the weekend, the committee once again showed its propensity for lying. Margot Cleveland reports in THE FEDERALIST that they blatantly lied to the public about former DOJ attorney Ken Klukowski to tie him into a plan to encourage the Georgia legislature to convene a special session to look into election irregularities and perhaps, based on its findings, select an alternate slate of electors. Liz Cheney, in particular, painted him in a suspicious light.

Klukowski has released a public statement of his own that says, “The January 6 Committee falsely accused me on Thursday of being a go-between in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. That accusation is false both in its broad outlines and its details. Since the Committee first contacted me, I have cooperated without hesitation, provided it with hundreds of documents, and sat for many hours of recorded depositions. The information produced from those efforts fully contradicts the Committee’s statements regarding my actions, yet the Committee has chosen to keep such information to itself rather than share it with the public.”

Cleveland has full details and says the evidence backs Klukowski up. And a key person she spoke with to ascertain this, Andrew Kloster, the White House official who coordinated senior DOJ appointments, offered Cleveland this insight: “The January 6 investigation is all about attacking mid-level and senior staff like Ken, so we don’t have a farm team in 2024, no matter who the President is. This isn’t about truth, but about making it impossible for conservatives to successfully enter and leave government.”

In fact, Klukowski told Cleveland he disagreed with John Eastman about what the Vice President was empowered to do regarding the election. He believed December 14 had been the deadline for appointing electors. He also never advised Vice President Pence or any member of his staff.

“I was concerned the committee might make cynical assumptions during its investigation of January 6, Klukowski told Cleveland, “but I was stunned that the committee would make claims about me for which it had a mountain of evidence establishing, for certain, those statements were false.”

He doesn’t have a transcript of his testimony to the committee, so he’s calling on them to release it. When Cleveland contacted Liz Cheney’s office to see about this, and also to ask if she disputed what Klukowski had said about the committee fraudulently implicating him in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election, she received no reply.

She strongly advises Republican leaders to demand all transcripts of all depositions, because if they lied about Klukowski, it’s probable that they lied about other witnesses, too.

Another writer at THE FEDERALIST who gets what’s going on at the Department of ‘Justice’ is Beth Whitehead, who has an overview of the legal double standard at the DOJ. Just look at who gets raided...and who doesn’t.

    "... to tie him into a plan to encourage the Georgia legislature to convene a special session to look into election irregularities and perhaps, based on its findings, select an alternate slate of electors."

    Mr. Huckabee, can you please explain in what way this is a crime?

    Once upon a time, in the USA, "No one is above the law" and "Equal justice for all" were true statements. No more. Only myths now.

    Mike
    I mentioned it earlier that we can't send campaign funds to RINO's just because they are the only Republican Dog in the race. Like Portman in Ohio. They vote like a democrat, they vote to impeach, they say nothing about the crimes being committed, they do nothing about the stolen election and the machines, they have not helped the Jan 6 prisoners even though Due Process and Speedy Trials per the Constitution are being ignored by them.
    Please Mike we cannot be hypocrites.

    I don't like seeming like I'm a defeatist, but I think that as soon as Biden was "allowed" to be Presi-dumb, we lost our country.

    Obviously, we need a million, billionaires to bail this country out and take it back. But, from what I can see, we don't.

    President Trump and Elon Musk are doing what they can, God Bless Them. And Governor Huckabee you are doing a splendid job of keeping us conservatives well informed.

    But, in my opinion it's in God's hands now. As much as I would love to invoke a civil war, I also know that I can't. And won't.

    The Biden Whitehouse and everyone covering up even just a small portion of illegal activity will get rightful punishment from God.

    As for financial help from me, I am afraid that I won't be of any help. Not to bore you with my screwed up life. I did make some unwise choices.

    But, unlike Hunter and his dad, 'Slow' Joe Biden, I woke up and I am slowly turning my life around. Not soon enough to help our country, unfortunately, but I am definitely going in the right direction.

    I just pray that all the leftist 's in this world can open their eyes before something happens to them.

    It took the passing of my wife, sister -in-law and a brother-in-law and my having three strokes to finally wake up and accept Jesus. I'm not bitter about all of the bad things that happened in my life or to this great country of ours. I COULD be, considering my past, over almost fifty years. But, I won't. Even in the worst parts of the worst of my life, I still had some good in me. Even though I said some mild bad mouthing of our current President and his son Hunter, I am mild mannered compared to my former life.

    Bottom line Governor Huckabee, God bless you and your family and staff!!!

    As you said the January 6 committee is on an unlawful search and destroy mission. They are distorting the truth and lying with the sole purpose of hurting Trump and getting people to vote for the Democrats in November. The action of the January 6 committee gives support to the claim that the Democrats will do anything, legal or not legal, to win an election.

    What do you do when the law makers and law enforcement break the law? Who do you turn to? It's not as simple as voting when cheating happens to sway elections and nothing is corrected...

    This is just another story in a never-ending list of stories. When are you, or Judicial Watch, or SOMEBODY, going to get this sham investigation into the courts, where evidence from both sides can be heard. Pretty soon, the principle of Estoppel will take over, removing all the teeth from the Constitution, and plunging America into the abyss. You must be able to see what the Democrats are up to.....trying to win in November by removing the opposition. Offense is usually the best defence, and your opposition is definitely on offence. It is time before a counter-attack, before it is too late.

    I haven’t heard any recent updates on the Jan. 6th prisoners, could you comment on whether they are now allowed lawyers, can they receive family visit, and are there any court dates or hearings scheduled? My heart is so burdened with this gestapo tactic by American politicians. Let’s have a rally on the capitol steps and make this heard!

    If we take back the House and the Senate I hope they goe after the Jan 6 committee and charge them with treason against the Constitution of the U.S.
