Alaska state Rep. David Eastman, a “life member” of Oath Keepers who represents Wasilla, is railing against the “politically driven indictments” of the group’s leaders for their alleged roles in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol:

in a list leaked by an activist group last year. In response to an interview request about Rhodes’ indictment, Eastman sent a new prepared statement Friday.

In this Sunday, June 25, 2017 file photo, Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, speaks during a rally outside the White House in Washington. Rhodes has been arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The Justice Department announced the charges against Rhodes on Thursday.

One of Eastman’s legislative aides, Pam Goode, also posted photos of the rally to Facebook, though it was not clear whether she was physically present. Goode, who has run unsuccessfully for the state Legislature as a member of the Alaska Constitution Party, did not respond to a request for comment Friday.

“I’m not aware of any conversations in the Capitol that pertain to removing him or any kind of disciplinary action,” Stutes said in a phone interview. “He’s an elected official, and I would think it would be left up to his constituency, unless I or we as a Legislature see or have actual proof of his involvement in the incitement of what went on.”While Stutes is a Republican, her House majority caucus is mostly Democratic, and Eastman belongs to the chamber’s all-Republican minority.

davideastmanjr is HumanGarbage

GOP GOPLeader HouseGOP FoxNews January6thCmte Has anyone checked davideastmanjr’s activities?

Trumpers more than willing to sell Alaska back to Russia. Cheap. Think about it.

eastmanTraitor

I would be more interested in the decisions made by capitol leadership to not adequately prepare. Why were more federal and local police not involved with securing the capitol? Why were more physical security measures not taken? Why have you not asked these questions?

rhonda_harbison Oath Keepers are a terrorist organization. They have a long and terrible history. This man is an example of very bad judgement among AK voters!

rhonda_harbison LMFAO

No, I would say, them covering their faces, and wheeling in boxes of automatic weapons into the Comfort Inn in Arlington and Garden Inn in Tysons Corner, VA for a staged attack on DC after getting the “go-sign” is what is driving this, not politics. FBI davideastmanjr DHSgov

He gives up his right to hold public office, IMHO, because he obviously does not know what it means to defend and uphold our constitution!

Lock this MF up!

Why is a terrorist in the Alaska state legislature?

New t-shirt and maga hat slogan. 'I'M A TRAITOR and proud of it!'

They tried to overturn an election. They were the political ones and traitors. This dude is anti-gov yet working in the gov and paid by taxpayers.

Hey January6thCmte I hope Alaska state Rep. David Eastman is on your Subpoena list ? Hey TheJusticeDept & FBI When are you declaring Oath Keepers & Proud Boys Domestic Terrorist Groups ? Canada did

Any elected official who is part of a domestic terrorist and hate group should be allowed to serve in any capacity in any federal, state, county or city level.

There’s an easy way to resolve this in November. Just sayin

I mean, armed insurrection is politically motivated but go off king.

Sleazy

SousLeRadar Where’s HIS eye patch?

Indict him as part of the sedition conspiracy.

More crime- than “politically” driven, but sure, Klan.

Sounds like he has more loyalty to his cosplay club than to the country.

Wasilla, how embarrassing! Again.

“Providing aid or comfort to……” sounds pretty treasony if ya ask me

Worse part is that he would be a target of the OK if he wasn’t in the OK.

This human has no place in public service

What is in Wasilla's water? Is't that whack-job SarahPalinUSA from Wasilla? Maybe Wasilla can benefit from the new infrastructure bill. Fix those water pipes!

Wasilla, that rings a bell

Politically-driven, sure—because the Oath Keepers tried to violently disrupt the U. S. POLITICAL system. Like some dumb third-world thugs.

Seditious conspiracy Rep. Eastman. That should scare you.

I thought Justice was blind...

Was he there on January 6th? Will he get indicted too?

Eastman is a 'life member' of a group that was launched by a bunch of weak-kneed vets, cops and soldiers who were terrified of a Democratic president coming for their big boy boom toys. That same group then tried to help launch a coup on 1.6.21

Ask him what he did 1/6. He was there.

AnchorageAction Eastman has claimed for a year that he didn’t enter the Capitol. But has he denied being part of the QRF that was standing by with weapons?

Yeah, I bet he is involved in the insurrection somehow. Subpoena his ass.

He must be guilty

LockHimUp

So a domestic terrorist is triggered

I think the January6thCmte , FBI, DHSgov, and others need to visit davideastmanjr

REP. Eastman does not appear to have good critical thinking skills.

ruthMP20 Eastman acting like a co-conspirator and needs to be investigated for his role in Jan 6, 2021 Republican Domestic Terrorist attack wherein Americans were allegedly murdered. As taxpayers, we are entitled to know where our money being spent. Oath Keepers should be investigated.⚖️

He is screwed, and he knows it.

Uh oh. 'Incriminating Evidence' coming soon.

Nazi trash

Is this the best Wasilla can present to the rest of the nation Pallin and now this jerk?

Put him on the subpoena list.

Why hasn’t he been kicked out of of our legislature?

I support him 100%

And Alaska being Alaska will still vote for him, because he is GOP.

And there's a growing campaign to have him expelled from AKLeg

I recommend that AK vote that man out. People that advocate overthrowing the government, certainly do not belong in a government job.

'Alleged' is a weak term for 'livestreamed it and shouted it from the mountaintops.'

Boohoo. Play shitty games, win shitty prizes.
