Reply To: January 6th Committee Hearings

“I don’t remember why he called me,” Herschmann said. “He started asking me something about dealing with Georgia and preserving something potentially for appeal.”

“I said to him, ‘are you out of your mind?’ right. I said, “I only want to hear two words coming out of your mouth from now on—orderly transition.'”

“I don’t want to hear any other words coming out of your mouth, no matter what, other than ‘orderly transition.’ Repeat those words to me,” he said.
Asked how Eastman replied, Herschmann said that “eventually” he repeated the words.

Herschmann continued describing the conversation, telling the committee he advised Eastman that the “best free legal advice you’re ever getting in your life,” is to “get a great criminal defense lawyer, you’re going to need it.”

“Then I hung up on him,” Herschmann added.
