https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...-lawyer-officially-disbarred/ar-BB1l0JG6My disgust for lawyers has been obvious. But this is unacceptable. This is using the legal system to destroy anyone who defends Donald Trump. The whole idea of defending someone in a legal proceeding is absolutely important to the good order of America. The leftist a$$$holes who now own the courtrooms have taken this to a fine art. Look at the J6 defendants. Lawfare is now the rule of the day. kwg The New Republic Another One Bites the Dust: Trump 2020 Lawyer Officially Disbarred Opinion by Hafiz Rashid • 5d • 2 min read t’s official: John Eastman, Trump’s former lawyer, can no longer practice law in the state of California, pending his appeal through California’s courts. As of Tuesday, Eastman is listed as “not eligible to practice law” on the State Bar of California’s website. The move comes three days after State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland recommended that Eastman’s law license be put on “involuntary inactive” status.In January, the California state bar began disbarment proceedings against Eastman for helping to lead Donald Trump’s efforts to undermine the 2020 presidential election results and prevent the certification of votes, which included a direct appeal to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Eastman also helped try to create slates of fake pro-Trump electors in states won by Joe Biden, and helped Trump spread election fraud falsehoods, including at the January 6, 2021, rally in Washington, D.C., that turned into the Capitol insurrection. While Roland rejected the charge that Eastman’s speech helped incite the January 6 riot, she did slam his actions as “exceptionally serious ethical violations.” Roland also said the “scale and egregiousness of Eastman’s unethical actions far surpasses” that of Donald Segretti, the lawyer who helped Richard Nixon’s reelection campaign try to sabotage the Democrats. Eastman can still win his legal credentials back on appeal, as the California Supreme Court has the final say. But if his legal career does come to an end, his legacy isn’t great, even without his election wrongdoing: He once questioned Kamala Harris’s citizenship, arguing that she might be ineligible for the office of vice president because, he claimed, she wasn’t a U.S. citizen at birth. His argument even extended into claiming that birthright citizenship itself might not be constitutional. Eastman may not be the last Trump ally to lose their legal license: A Washington, D.C., ethics board is currently considering whether to disbar former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, and Sidney Powell could be disbarred as a result of her October guilty plea to six misdemeanor counts related to the 2020 election in Georgia.

A long-time Democratic Party campaign consultant, he was a partner at the party-aligned campaign consulting firm AKPD Message and Media, which he joined in 2000.[3] Plouffe was an outside senior advisor to Obama since the president's first day in office and was then appointed as a Senior Advisor to the President (inside the White House) in 2011 following the resignation of David Axelrod, who went on to start Obama's reelection campaign.[4] In September 2014, he became the Senior Vice President of Policy and Strategy for Uber.[5] In May 2015, he left that role to become a full-time strategic adviser for the company.[6] In January 2017, he joined the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to lead the policy and advocacy efforts of the initiative.[7] In 2019, Politico reported he joined the Board of Directors of liberal nonprofit ACRONYM, where he would advise an anti-Trump digital campaign.[8][9] WikipediaIt's an orchestrated effort - Political Operatives, Lawyers, Judges.

What again did the guy do wrong other than not fall in lock step? I thought questioning the status quo was a protected right in this country?

Osky Questioning is one thing. Destroying people for power and control is another. kwg

It's entirely political....and shameful.

For David Plouffe to be speaking on unethical conduct is obviously from his vast personal experience of unethical conduct.
"In February 2017, Plouffe was fined $90,000 by the Chicago Board of Ethics for the violation of ethics rules when he failed to register as a lobbyist after contacting Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to help Uber with regulations for picking up travelers at Chicago airports. The board fined Uber $2,000 as well for hiring a lobbyist who violated the city's lobbying laws."
“To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is best to plan for all eventualities then believe in success, and only cross the failure bridge if you come to it."

Considering that the average defense lawyer earns his keep by pushing "alternate scenarios" in order to get their client off, it's funny that they'd take offence to this.

It's not about Eastman.
It's about pulling & punishing any & all associations & support for Trump, so as to leave him isolated until they can destroy him.
