  1. CW: true malfeasance (unethical lawyering)

    John Eastman has cleared another hurdle towards earning the coveted (?) postnominal letters DPC, for Disbarred Pumpkin's Counsel.

    "Eastman's wrongdoing constitutes exceptionally serious ethical violations warranting severe professional discipline," wrote California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland in her decision. "Eastman made multiple patently false and misleading statements in court filings, in public remarks heard by countless Americans and to others regarding the conduct of the 2020 presidential election and Vice President Pence's authority to refuse to count or delay counting properly certified slates of electoral votes on January 6, 2021."

    Judge Roland also criticized Eastman's defiant response to the allegations against him.

    "His lack of insight into the wrongfulness of his misconduct is deeply troubling," wrote Judge Roland. "While Eastman is entitled to defend himself, his conduct goes beyond this, revealing a complete failure to understand the wrongfulness of his actions."

    In addition to disbarment, Judge Roland recommended that Eastman pay $10,000 in fines.

    Judge Roland's recommendation will be reviewed by the California Supreme Court, which will ultimately decide whether he can retain his law license. In the meantime, Judge Roland's decision places Eastman's license on "involuntary inactive" status, which will effectively prohibit Eastman from practicing law.

    So, for now, he'll be IIPC. Wishing him a speedy upgrade to full DPC status as soon as practicable!

    In response to findings that Eastman does not understand how wrong what he did is, his lawyer (#MakeAttorneysGetAttorneys) made a statement xplaining he does not understand how worng what Eastman did is:

    In response to the decision, attorney Randall Miller, who represented Eastman in the State Bar proceedings, stated that Eastman will appeal. "Dr. Eastman maintains that his handling of the legal issues he was asked to assess after the November 2020 election was based on reliable legal precedent, prior residential elections, research of constitutional text, and extensive scholarly material," Miller wrote in a statement.

  3. #Trump attorney #StevenSadow "accidentally" doxxed #FultonCounty DA #FaniWillis by including her personal contact information in a public court filing. This is one of the sleaziest moves ever pulled by a Trump attorney, and that's saying a hell of a lot. This is intentional #harassment far beyond anything an officer of the court should be involved in.
