"John Eastman, the right-wing lawyer who helped devise the scheme and pitched it to Trump, admitted in front of Trump that the plan would require Pence to violate federal law, according to a clip of a deposition from Pence’s senior legal adviser Greg Jacob, which was played at Thursday’s hearing. "
So there you have it. Two conspirators (Trump and Eastman) admitted in front of a credible witness that they knew what they were planning to do was illegal. Then they pulled the trigger and executed the plan in a very public way. They can't say they didn't do it. We know they did. They can't claim they didn't know and they were trying to "right a wrong' or some other bullshit. They knew it was illegal and they went ahead and did everything they could to make it happen.
