TODAY: Coup Plotter’s Disbarment Hearing Begins

The Associated Press reports:

An effort to disbar conservative attorney John Eastman, who devised ways to keep Trump in the White House after his defeat in the 2020 election, will begin Tuesday in Los Angeles. Eastman is expected to spend the day testifying before the State Bar of California in a proceeding that could result in him losing his license to practice law in the state.

He faces 11 disciplinary charges stemming from his development of a dubious legal strategy that was aimed at helping Trump remain in power by disrupting the counting of state electoral votes. The State Bar’s counsel will seek Eastman’s disbarment during a hearing before the State Bar Court that’s expected to last at least eight days.

Eastman remains the chairman of the anti-LGBTQ hate group, the National Organization for Marriage.

John Eastman is not happy his disciplinary hearing before the California bar is being live streamed. See below. You will recall that Eastman concocted a wacko theory on how to overturn Trump’s defeat. Eastman is undoubtedly among the targets of the January 6 special counsel. https://t.co/QETHmAyDjz
