A group of prominent lawyers, including former governors and judges, urged the California bar on Monday to launch an investigation into John C. Eastman's role in advising President Trump on how he could overturn his election defeat, including by having his vice president refuse to count the electoral votes in seven states won by President Joe Biden.

Eastman, a former law professor and dean at Chapman University in Orange County, emerged as a key legal adviser to Trump in the weeks after it was apparent he had been defeated in the November election. He wrote two legal memos that advised Vice President Mike Pence he could decide the results in several states were disputed and therefore that their electoral votes would go uncounted. Doing so would have turned Trump from a loser to the winner.

A nonpartisan legal group called States United Democracy Center said the State Bar should look into what Eastman did.

"We write to request that the State Bar investigate serious evidence of professional misconduct by Professor John C. Eastman in connection with his representation of former President Donald J. Trump in efforts to discredit and overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election," they said.

These quack lawyers deserve every bit of scrutiny they are getting.

1. Now there's some good news! Consequences are a must

[Mr.Bill]

5. Agree, but lately

investigations seem to pe pretty disconnected from consequences.

[sarchasm]

9. You got that right

unfortunately

[The Magistrate]

2. Indeed, Ma'am

This fella has no business practicing law, and in a well run polity would be serving ten to twenty along with the wretch he advised how to overthrow the elected government, and other collaborators in the attempt.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

3. Indeed. America is a broken polity. Where else is open sedition, both in violence and in writing,

openly tolerated? Isn’t it?
Only made possible by a on purpose slumbering lumbering national corporate media looking the other way at the mountain of evidence to prove same. Question to all is, why?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

12. Indeed, corporations, including media corporations and fascists must partner to create a fascist

state. Are we in the midst of such a silent partnership and creation in America?

[reACTIONary]

4. More than just scrutiny...

... Consequences !
