Former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann has quickly emerged as the most quotable man in the Jan. 6 committee hearings. And he delivered again in Tuesday’s edition, with the committee playing his characteristically exasperated comments about dealing with Sidney Powell and her bogus voter-fraud conspiracy theories, which were overwhelmingly shut down by judges.
“She says, ‘Well, the judges are corrupt,' “ Herschmann recalled Powell saying. “And I was like, ‘Every one? Every single case that you’ve done in the country you guys lost? Every one of them was corrupt? Even the ones we appointed?’ I’m being nice. I was much more harsh to her.”
It’s not novel to point out that even Republican- and Trump-appointed judges have almost unanimously ruled against Trump’s side on such things. But Herschmann’s comments crystallize something that should never be overlooked when it comes to evaluating the GOP’s Jan. 6 case. And they were played even as the legal setbacks in the fight against the Jan. 6 committee continued apace this week — courtesy of a Trump-appointed judge, no less.
