John Eastman’s bar trial exposes Democrats’ process-rigging ignominy

John Eastman's California Bar trial will backfire against those doing the rigging.

The California Bar, seemingly acting as a surrogate for the Democrat Party and other Trump Derangement Syndrome forces, will regret tangling with Professor John Eastman. The constitutional scholar and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas was on trial since June until last week before a State Bar Court for his role in advising President Trump about the duties of the Vice President in counting electors on the now-infamous January 6, 2021.

The kangaroo court trial before Judge Yvette D. Roland was a disgraceful example of partisan misinformation masquerading as legal ethics. The Bar botched things so badly, however, that Democrat fixer, CBS News anchor Scott Pelley, was called upon to smear Eastman in a 60 Minute segment that aired this past Sunday night after the trial had concluded.

The highly respected former law school dean Eastman faces potential disbarment for providing his client options about decisions under the 12th Amendment to the Constitution for the President of the Senate (i.e., then-Vice President Mike Pence) under the clause, “open all the [state Elector] certificates and the votes shall then be counted.” That application of that clause was a central constitutional issue for the fateful J6.

Throughout the trial Judge Roland showed her somewhat blasé but frequently blatant bias in her decisions about allowing evidence in for the California Bar and excluding evidence from Eastman’s lawyers.

She got the memo. She clearly understood her party’s expectations

SNIP

The trial was live-streamed, but Judge Roland forbade its being recorded, which of course will help hide how Eastman not only proved his innocence in this Bar matter, but actually ended up showing how wrong the 2020 election-rigging deniers have been.

It is irrelevant whether he ‘proved’ his innocence or not in this matter.

The mission for this ‘court’ is to find him guilty of all charges, regardless of facts, evidence, testimony or least of a ‘truth’.

And that is exactly what they will do.

Why does anyone think he will win? The strength of his case does not matter, its the strength of the fix that is in that is important.

Attributed to Napoleon. But I doubt that the French version is a palindrome.

Does this mean that the court did not record it or that it is illegal for anyone watching the live stream to record it? Either way that is extremely biased.

There is a link in the article to contribute to his defense fund for those so inclined.

I wish him well.
