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?
