A California appellate disciplinary panel on Friday affirmed the recommendation to disbar former Trump attorney John Eastman, concluding he lied to courts in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

In a decision dated June 13 and made public on Saturday, the State Bar Court’s Review Department upheld an earlier judge’s conclusion that Eastman committed “multiple acts of moral turpitude” by advancing baseless legal claims of voter fraud.

The court found Eastman promoted the plan to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to disrupt certification of the election results, Law & Crime reported.

According to the court’s opinion, Eastman made false and misleading statements in legal filings, advanced frivolous arguments, and pushed a plan to pressure Pence to reject certified Electoral College results on Jan. 6, 2021. The panel concluded Eastman’s conduct “undermined democracy itself” and warranted disbarment.

1. This fucking criminal scumbag should be deservedly incarcerated in a California prison.

This god damn despicable criminal asshole disgraces everyone in the legal profession. Thank you, State Bar of California! It's well worth paying the Bar dues to see this contemptible Piece of Shit punished.

2. This story was buried deep by the M$M

When I stumbled on an article that I saw had bubbled up on a site yesterday, their purported publication time was outside of LBN criteria listed as Saturday afternoon and it only "appeared" with a link on Sunday. I then spent an hour hunting and found a few more references and none were actually on their news sites at or even within many hours of the story timestamps and all were outside of LBN.

Thankfully MEDIAite picked it up.

3. How many Trump lawyers can no longer practice law?

At least 4 others: Kenneth Chesebro, Jenna Ellis, Rudy Giuliani, and Michael Cohen.

(Edit) Forbes has a list that includes lawyers who have been sanctioned but not disbarred:
