John Eastman, the Trump-allied lawyer who created a memo arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence could overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win, is set to face disciplinary hearings starting Tuesday in Los Angeles.
The counsel for the State Bar of California is asking a court to revoke Eastman’s license to practice law in the state. Eastman faces 11 disciplinary charges for allegations that he engaged in a plot to push a far-fetched legal strategy for Pence to overturn Biden’s electoral victory during the certification of Electoral College votes by a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021. Prosecutors alleged that Eastman made false and misleading statements with his baseless claims of widespread election fraud, including his remarks at the “Stop the Steal” rally on the Ellipse shortly before the Capitol attack.
The disciplinary hearings before the State Bar Court seeking Eastman’s disbarment is expected to last at least eight days. The court will determine whether Eastman’s conduct qualifies for recommendation of a suspension or revocation of his law license. The fate of Eastman’s law license then falls into the hands of the California Supreme Court.
The State Bar announced an ethics investigation into Eastman’s conduct in March last year. Eastman faces multiple charges that he allegedly violated the state’s business and professions code by making false and misleading statements that constitute acts of “moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption.” Eastman therefore “violated this duty in furtherance of an attempt to usurp the will of the American people and overturn election results for the highest office in the land — an egregious and unprecedented attack on our democracy — for which he must be held accountable,” the State Bar's chief trial counsel, George Cardona, said in a release in January.

And, the charges are thus inherently bogus.
I never spoke about anything except how the wording in the article is manipulative.
I have no idea why you're trying to bring me into a conversation I never started or had any interest in.
Since their diatribe against Eastman read "an egregious and unprecedented attack on our democracy", the answer is yes. Their "democracy" is code for what everyone else would call communism.
You followed with a question. Had you nothing to say then nothing would have been the correct answer.
Of course I did. I was asking you to make a point on how your comment was relevant to my comment and subject...press manipulation. Did you not grasp that?
Your reply in no manner or form addressed the subject of my reply.
Had you nothing to say then nothing would have been the correct answer.
I did have something relevant to say though. You, on the other hand, still don't.

You don't even recognize what is, and has been, being done to you.
Color revolutions, propaganda, State affiliated news organizations...none of it rings a bell?
Or is it hitting just a little too close to home to accept?
‘Question: is the state bar association of California a communist organization? Just curious!”
They are an arm of the California Supreme Court. Not Communist, just hard left. They leaned left when I was there but pretty well left the investigators do their job. I investigated the President of the American Bar Association and was left alone to do my job. Apparently they have finished the glass of Kool Aid.
