  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Trump’s fmr lawyer [#disbarred], #RudyGiuliani, is also listed as an invited speaker.

    Regardless of whether #Trump will be present, it is an unusual — & potentially risky — move to permit a soiree supporting those who stormed the Capitol to be held at one of his most recognizable properties just as his presidential campaign goes *full speed* for its final few months.

  4. In case you are confused by the headline, as I was, allow me to explain. If Judge Lane dismisses #RudyGiuliani’s claim of #Bankruptcy, that means that Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman will be free to start claiming their $148 Million win against him.

    That turd Giuliani made baseless and unprovable claims that the two election workers had committed #fraud. In other words, he lied his ass off. He’s also now been #disbarred in New York. thehill.com/regulation/court-b

  5. #NY #disbarred #Giuliani. But this charlatan stopped "practising law" a long, long time ago. So, this disbarment is hollow.

  6. The court ordered #Giuliani to be “#disbarred from the practice of #law, effective immediately, & until the further order of this Court, & his name stricken from the roll of attorneys & counselors-at-law in the State of #NewYork.”

  7. #Hoffinger is going through a lengthy list of all that #MichaelCohen has lost financially. This is similar to something #StormyDaniels said, when pushed on cross-examination about whether she had money to gain by telling her story about #Trump. She said that she had also lost a lot.

    Cohen also acknowledges that he has been #disbarred.

  8. Mark Meadows, #Giuliani and 9 other co-conspirators indicted by #GrandJury in #AZ 2020 #ElectionFraud case. #WhiteHouse #ChiefOfStaff Meadows, now #disbarred legal advisor #Giuliani and other Trump allies were charged in #Arizona 2020 election probe. Amongst the #indicted electors include Dr #KelliWard, who served as chair of the Arizona #GOP during the 2020 #election #ElectionDenierGrift plot to overthrow the #vote count.

  9. Judge rules John Eastman, architect of Trump’s 2020 election plot, should be disbarred

    Trump's former attorney should be #disbarred over efforts to overturn 2020 election 

    “In view of the circumstances surrounding Eastman’s misconduct and balancing the aggravation and mitigation, the court recommends that Eastman be disbarred,” Roland wrote in a 128-page decision.

    The judge also recommended that Eastman be ordered to pay $10,000 in monetary sanctions to the State Bar of California Client Security Fund.

    Eastman’s legal team said he would appeal Wednesday’s ruling, and the case will ultimately end up before the California Supreme Court.

    In the meantime, the judge ordered Eastman be transferred to inactive status, meaning he won’t be able to practice law.

    Roland’s ruling follows a trial last year that lasted more than 30 days, at which Eastman himself testified. Just before the proceedings concluded in November, the judge found Eastman preliminarily culpable
