“It turned out that Lincoln gave him the wrong year’s almanac,” Dershowitz said. “There was a full moon on the night that he claimed he saw him, but there wasn’t in a different year in a different almanac. You know, some people might disbar a lawyer for doing that.”
Eastman, who crafted legal documents arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the power to reject electoral votes, was among those charged, alongside President-elect Donald Trump, after a grand jury in Fulton County, Ga., handed down indictments in August 2023. This, over Trump’s efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election in that state. Dershowitz said that even though he disagreed with Eastman, whom he met at a Saturday event at Mar-a-Lago, Eastman should not have been prosecuted by either Georgia or Arizona.

Lincoln’s almanac was genuine, according to the New York Times.
