Are Trump's and his associates' persecutors so wrapped in their own propaganda that they think that they are the good guys?
John Eastman is a distinguished constitutional expert who had the temerity to advise Donald Trump on legal theories by which suspect electoral results in the 2020 election could be challenged. These are perfectly valid theories, one should note, and, in a better world, they would have been addressed by the Supreme Court.
For this, he has been viciously attacked by the legal academy, indicted by a rabid Georgia grand jury, and subjected to disbarment proceedings by the California Bar Association. In a recent American Thinker post, Monica Showalter describes the lynch-law nature of the California proceeding, linking to excellent reporting by Rachel Alexander in the Arizona Sun Times.
If the U.S. courts of appeal and the Supreme Court have any sense of obligation to the law (a debatable assumption, to be sure), Eastman will ultimately be vindicated.
But that is of little moment to his persecutors. Any vindication will be years in the future, while in the present, Eastman must find lawyers willing to represent him and thus risk the ire of the organized bar. When he does, he will be crushed by legal fees and deprived of opportunities to make a living. He is also distracted from using his great talents to contribute to the national debate over past and future election fraud and other important legal topics, which is a serious harm to the nation and the profession. California is treading upon my First Amendment rights, and those of the public, to obtain information.
The objective of the persecutors is not just to get Eastman, but to send a message to everyone in the legal world that if people publicly challenge the dominant narrative, they too

can’t put “ethics” in the same sentence with “democrats” OR “liberal republicans(rino’s)” in a good way.
If Eastman goes down for advocating an unconventional legal theory, surely Lawrence Tribe and Judge Leuttig will be similarly dispatched for their spearheading the 14th amendment misapplication.
Why don’t we do what they do and hold them to their rules?
We need to socialize the legal system.
Everyone should have ‘right’ to legal advice and the government should set all the prices. Lawyer fees have to be price fixed, over billing is a federal offense with loss of privileges to practice in courts.
The only part that shouldn’t be socialized is the part of damages against lawyers if they lose your case or make any mistakes judged by other lawyers.
All court costs should be a ‘right’ and we should be able to raise taxes on wealthy lawyers to pay for it.
Prosecutors have to do jail time of any defendant that they withhold evidence from, even if they are found innocent, and the State Bar Associations have to provide legal-malpractice insurance by gathering fees from all lawyers, to pay for it.
The Lawyers love socialism so much, we the people need to give it to them to enjoy. Join with me in the ‘right to legal advice and protections’ to help any Citizen who is poor and to ensure quality legal advice nationwide, as a Constitutional Amendment!
Yes and add to that client attorney privilege is gone….for both sides. They have set the precedent. If the circuit courts and/or SCOTUS don’t step up the law will be permanently damaged.
BTW Bar Associations need to be abolished. They have destroyed any pretense of ethics
Absolutely. The ABA should be nationally decertified due to its lack of dispassionate neutrality.
An utterly fair and reasonable requirement.
To the left ethics only matter as a means to restrain their opposition. The only thing they respect is the application of power. Up to now they have adhered to legal ethics because they feared retribution for not doing so. With Trump they have no fear of retribution. The only way to reign in the left is to make them afraid.
There are no ethics in America’s new RAT Run “justice system”. RATS ALWAYS WIN or they just get a different “judge.”
Find and indict the people doing the bullying - this is heavy handed totalitarian and it's waaay beyond the tactics of common democrats.
There isn’t a sad state of legal ethics, there are no legal ethics on the Left.
