Chapman is a local Orange County conservative school, but generally old schoolish conservative. They care about respectibility. It’s pretty clear there was a faculty pressure over Eastman and they had no problem tossing him aside. It’s conservative but orange county has changed and it’s still California. I went to an entrepreneurship program there in HS and have been to legal education events there a few times.
“The public interest here is weighty and urgent,” said Judge David Carter in a 16-page ruling rejecting Eastman’s attempt to scuttle the subpoena for thousands of pages of his Chapman University emails. “Congress seeks to understand the causes of a grave attack on our nation’s democracy and a near-successful attempt to subvert the will of the voters.”
“Congress has previously conducted similar investigations into attacks on our country, such as those of September 11, 2001, and the War of 1812,” he noted. “In these circumstances, it is reasonable that investigations might reveal evidence of criminal acts or other wrongdoing. … Accordingly, the Select Committee’s subpoena is within its legitimate legislative authority.”
I didn’t know the committee had a twitter account. I’m also surprised there were this many people who were stupid enough to think this would work and simultaneously knowledgeable enough about the process to try to fake it.
Every time I see the side of Trump’s head, whatever he used to keep the hair slicked back on that side reminds me of that scene from There’s Something About Mary where she uses cum as hair gel.
