  10. 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.

  12. The D.C. bar association has recommended Jeffrey Clark be removed. The fascists can bark all they want but facts remain facts and Clark, like Giuliani before him, knew he was peddling lies. They knew they were wasting the court's time. Giuliani was worse, for trying his case in parking lots, but Clark also deserves to be disbarred.

  13. I highly doubt we're going to know who our next #President is before we go to bed tonight. And even if an orange cheeto loses you can bet your bottom dollar he's going to try everything to #overturn things to his favor.

    The only plus side to this is that most/ all of his
    #lawyers four years ago have either been thrown in jail, #disbarred, lost their law license, or otherwise have been forbidden from practicing law that the odds of a new crop of lawyers this year wanting to try to sue #DonaldTrump into becoming our next President should be almost zero.

  14. 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
