John Eastman, architect of Trump’s 2020 election plot, should be disbarred, judge rules​

A California judge on Wednesday recommended the disbarment of John Eastman, calling to revoke the law license of one of former President Donald Trump’s top allies in his failed last-ditch gambit to subvert the 2020 election.

Judge Yvette Roland, who presided over months of testimony and argument about the basis of Eastman’s fringe legal theories, ruled that the veteran conservative attorney violated ethics rules — and even potentially criminal law — when he advanced Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results based on weak or discredited claims of fraud.

Eastman plans to appeal Roland’s decision to a panel of judges, an interim step before the matter reaches the state Supreme Court. But while his appeal is pending, the ruling forces his law license into “inactive” status, meaning he can no longer practice law in California.

I have lost track of how many people who chose to be associated with Trump have suffered the consequences. Cuz it's a very long list, many of whom are lawyers. Or in Eastman's case, were lawyers.

Did they think if they kissed the ring they could flaunt the law as he has? That they would suffer no consequences for their actions like him?

Do you think Don, before he goes to sleep at night, ever feels badly about all the trouble his enablers have gotten in to for being loyal to a charlatan? Does he despair over the ruined lives of his jailed, 1/6, violent mob? He (and his son) got a satisfying chuckle from Paul Pelosi being hit in the head with a hammer. But has he considered sending one of his $60 bibles to the assailant? How about a pair of gold sneakers on the house? Or, like all sociopaths, is he incapable of having basic human feelings for their plight?

some people become lawyers to defend to innocent or uphold the constitution.

they guickly discover that their career goals depend upon defending the guilty and finding constitutional loopholes for billionaires.

Most of these people are persona non grada with reputable folks who have wealth. Trump doesn't have the scruples/character other wealthy folks have who can hire legitimate people. The reason the blob is having dinner with nazi sympathizers is because nobody wants to be seen with him. Its the same principle. They don't seek out the blob; the blob is the only one left who will do business with them.

A good question, why do people defend Trump when they know that the Democrats will destroy them.

Gee, that's a very cynical view. My confusion stems from Trump's history as a fraud, a cheat, and an uninformed braggart who has sexually abused women. What causes these otherwise intelligent men to fall under the spell of such a man?

Roland’s 128-page opinion was a lacerating rebuke of Eastman’s conduct and his subsequent lack of remorse. She concluded that he made knowingly flimsy claims of fraud and irregularities in legal filings on Trump’s behalf, including his brief for Trump in a Supreme Court fight.

The judge walked through Eastman’s extensive involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, from his early lawsuits that failed to gain traction to his bid to solicit GOP state legislatures to send “alternate” electors to Congress, a last-gasp bid to keep Trump in power. At every turn, Roland said, Eastman ignored evidence that was unfavorable to his case and accepted at face value claims of fraud or misconduct aimed at sowing doubt about the election results.

What Dems have done to the legal system is enforce its rules.

With the new precedence set by the Marxists to charge a former President with bullshit charges, once President Trump is back in office, he can charge any Democrat who pushed the Bogus Russian Collusion Hoax with insurrection. Do you think that the left will go bat chit crazy? Yeah, and now you see how desperate the left is to keep President Trump out of office.

You haven't quite caught on to Trump's defense strategy. It is........1. Get the rubes to pay for it. 2. Delay. 3. Make baseless allegations against members of the court. 4. Tacitly encourage rabid, obedient followers to make threats against said members of the court.

All in place of an actual legal strategy of proving his innocence.

In all, Roland found Eastman culpable for 10 of 11 charges that state bar investigators brought against him, including misleading courts, lack of candor and, most notably, plotting with Trump to derail the transfer of power.

“Eastman conspired with President Trump to obstruct a lawful function of the government of the United States; specifically, by conspiring to disrupt the electoral count on January 6, 2021,” Roland ruled.
