  2. The significance here is not only the individual consequence. It is that a state supreme court turned years of election related misconduct findings into a final professional penalty.

  3. The good news: "#JohnEastman, the attorney who masterminded the legal strategy behind President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has been officially #disbarred in #California."

    The bad news: Disbarment and disciplinary proceedings are currently governed by state law. But the Trump DOJ is considering a rule that would require state bar associations to suspend their reviews of DOJ lawyers until the DOJ does its own reviews.

    More good news: Several states oppose the proposed DOJ rule, including CA, IL, ME, NY, and PA. Here's the position of the #Maine Supreme Court.

  5. For instance, ​an attorney #ethics panel in Washington recommended last year that #JeffreyClark, a senior #DOJ official during Trump's first term ​as president, be #disbarred for conduct involving dishonesty.

    Clark sought to enlist the DOJ in Trump's failed attempts to overturn his #2020election loss based on false claims of widespread voter fraud. A DC appeals court has yet to make the ​final determination on #disbarment.

  6. The proposal takes aim ​at the actions of #bar associations & similar professional organizations, not government entities, that investigate alleged ⁠#unethical conduct by #lawyers & consider actions such as #disbarment, which involves revoking a #license to practice #law [cuz, yeah, sane humans believe Rudolph Giuliani should still have legal authority /s].

  7. What happens if the lawyers in the Justice Department are asked to carry so much shit for Trump that they end up lying to the court and end up disbarred?

    :catthinking:

    This could very well happen.

  8. "Rudy Giuliani’s Time as a Shady Lawyer Finally Comes to an End"

    He's been disbarred in D.C.

    🥳

    I cannot think of a more deserving individual for this honor.

    (I almost wrote disbarded, which has an entirely different meaning: that's what happens to your D&D party when you kick out the bard.)

  9. #JohnEastman is believed to be an unindicted co-conspirator in #Trump’s fed #indictment; he is also facing #disbarment in Cali…
    before…Trump, Eastman, 64, was the sort of #conservative #legal figure whose name one might forget, a #law prof w/a cushy job & a chairmanship at a practice group of the… #FederalistSociety.…His writings, speeches, & media appearances…reveal a man…constantly questioning #federal #authority & the administrative state.…he saw fed #EnvironmentalLaws especially problematic.

  10. Jennifer Rubin: The recommendation of Eastman’s #disbarment is a big deal — for tRump

    "A State Bar Court of California judge on Wednesday recommended stripping John Eastman, Donald Trump’s former #attorney, of his California law license. Eastman, mastermind of the former president’s scheme to overturn the 2020 election results by recruiting phony electors, is not the first ex-Trump lawyer to face discipline over election-related matters."

  11. Fmr #Trump atty #JohnEastman's #attorney status in California has been updated to reflect that he's both charged with #felonies in #Georgia & marked for "inactive" status beginning Saturday as a result of his #disbarment ruling.

  12. Fmr #Trump atty #JohnEastman plans to appeal his #disbarment.

    His lawyer says it's unfair Eastman should have to fight #criminal charges in #Georgia w/o being able to earn money as a #lawyer to pay his #legal bills.

    This is like a convicted drug dealer saying it’s unfair he can no longer sell crack because he has to pay his lawyer.

    Ridiculous.

    Attorney #Lin #Wood, who filed legal challenges seeking to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss, is #relinquishing his #law #license, electing to retire from practicing rather than face #possible #disbarment.
