NFBW: The truth is Mike Pence could not do that on January 6. Trump wanted Pence to recognize the fake Trump certificates of electors from Michigan Wisconsin Pennsylvania Georgia Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.No, Trump wanted fraudulent votes discarded, that's all he wanted.
The Eastman memo says nothing about discarding fraudulent votes. It is discarding all votes from Michigan Wisconsin Pennsylvania Georgia Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.

John Eastman, a conservative lawyer working with then-President Donald Trump's legal team, outlined in a two-page memo a scheme to try to persuade then-Vice President Mike Pence to subvert the Constitution and throw out the 2020 election results on January 6.
NFBW: Here is the crux of the Eastman memo advising Trump to throw out the entire 2020 Presidential election:
1. VP Pence, presiding over the joint session (or Senate Pro Tempore Grassley, if Pence recuses himself), begins to open and count the ballots, starting with Alabama (without conceding that the procedure, specified by the Electoral Count Act, of going through the States alphabetically is required).
2. When he gets to Arizona, he announces that he has multiple slates of electors, and so is going to defer decision on that until finishing the other States. This would be the first break with the procedure set out in the Act.
3. At the end, he announces that because of the ongoing disputes in the 7 States, there are no electors that can be deemed validly appointed in those States. That means the total number of “electors appointed” – the language of the 12th Amendment -- is 454. This reading of the 12th Amendment has also been advanced by Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe (here). A “majority of the electors appointed” would therefore be 228. There are at this point 232 votes for Trump, 222 votes for Biden. Pence then gavels President Trump as re-elected.
4. Howls, of course, from the Democrats, who now claim, contrary to Tribe’s prior position, that 270 is required. So Pence says, fine. Pursuant to the 12th Amendment, no candidate has achieved the necessary majority. That sends the matter to the House, where the “the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having
one vote . . . .” Republicans currently control 26 of the state delegations, the bare majority needed to win that vote. President Trump is re-elected there as well.
QUESTION #9: Do you believe Ray From Cleveland that Mike Pence should have gaveled President Trump as re-elected without determining if there were any fraudulent votes that caused Trump to lose an election that he wouid have won?
