Attorney John Eastman, one of the key architects of Donald Trump’s scheme to overturn the 2020 election, on Thursday addressed the recommendation by a judge that he be disbarred for his role in advancing the former president’s plot to remain in power.

State Bar Court of California Judge Yvette Roland recommended last week that Eastman lose his license to practice law in the state due to “serious ethical violations.” These included making false statements that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to delay a count of electoral votes or refuse to certify them on Jan. 6, 2021, the judge said.

The California Supreme Court will have the final say on his disbarment. “There’s a lot of water to go under the bridge yet before we get there,” Eastman said on the streaming program “The Absolute Truth With Emerald Robinson.” The former Trump lawyer, who was admitted to the California State Bar in 1997, appeared dismissive of the case against him.

Roland had found him culpable for 10 of the 11 disciplinary charges he faced over his involvement in efforts to undo Joe Biden’s presidential win four years ago. “If the law is faithfully followed, this case should have never been brought in the first place,” Eastman said. “We have a disagreement on the facts of the 2020 election and we have a disagreement on constitutional interpretation on issues that have never been settled. That has never been the basis for disciplinary action.”

4. For a law perfesser

He sure is stupid about the law.

We have a disagreement on the facts of the 2020 election

There is no disagreement about the facts. Joe Biden won. You just don't like the facts, so your evil cabal tried to overthrow the will of the voters in criminal ways.

we have a disagreement on constitutional interpretation on issues that have never been settled.

Those interpretations have been settled since the late 18th century, moron: Winner of a state's popular vote gets the electoral votes (unless the state assigns the votes by congressional district). Joe Biden won the popular vote behind every electoral vote he received. It's only your fault that you attempted to use criminal means to overthrow the will of the voters, and the counting of electoral votes, for your own anti-American reasons.

That has never been the basis for disciplinary action.

Only because nobody has been traitorous enough to try to overthrow the will of voters until 6 January 2021. Now they have, and you get to be the example of what becomes of traitors who try to overthrow the will of the voters.

Sucks to be you, traitor.
