A California bar court judge ruled in late March that John Eastman should be disbarred for helping President Donald Trump challenge the outcome of the 2020 election. Before the California Supreme Court reviews the case, Mr. Eastman asked a judge to pause the order prohibiting him from practicing law, so he could fund his defense in the criminal case brought against President Trump and his attorneys in Georgia. Jeffrey Clark, who also tried to help President Trump, is facing a similar disbarment hearing in Washington. The focal point is a “proof of concept” letter he drafted for President Trump in...

VIDEOWe all know that Michael Cohen is a liar. However, his TDS has gotten so extreme that he has gone JUST PLAIN NUTS as you can see here. The Biden White House are so desperate to GET TRUMP that they went to the laughable extreme of directing their chubby puppet Alvin Bragg to make Cohen their STAR WITNESS in their laughable case against Trump. It reminds me of the J6 Committee with all the evidence they supposedly had and their STAR WITNESS turned out to be Cassidy Hutchinson that not only provided only third hand hearsay "evidence" but later had...

President Trump’s lawyer John Eastman joined Emerald Robinson on The Absolute Truth on Thursday. Eastman, a widely respected Constitutional attorney, was officially disbarred earlier this week after a California leftist judge ruled he should have his law license stripped for challenging the 2020 election. Eastman on Thursday asked the judge to pause the disbarment ruling, citing massive legal fees. Trump 2020 election lawyer John Eastman faced disbarment in California for ‘undermining democracy’ by trying to ‘overturn the presidential election.’ The January 6 Committee sent the feds after John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their...

A California judge has formally recommended that attorney John Eastman lose his law license for his role in Donald Trump's legal effort to remain in power after losing the 2020 presidential election. Eastman, a prominent figure in conservative legal circles and a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, played a key role in developing and backing a plan for states to send pro-Trump slates of electors to Congress and have then-Vice President Mike Pence unilaterally block or delay the certification of Joe Biden's election victory. "Eastman's wrongdoing constitutes exceptionally serious ethical violations warranting severe professional discipline," wrote California...

The conduct of Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Dana Nessel and their ilk needs to be compared to the conduct of disgraced and disbarred Durham County, NC prosecuting attorney Mike Nifong. Nobody in conservative talk radio is making this comparison. They ought to start banging on this drum immediately. The decision of the NC Bar disciplinary commission can be found here. It makes for very interesting reading. https://www.ncbar.gov/orders/06dhc35.pdf

Democrats are working overtime to make it so painful for attorneys to represent Republicans in election cases that the next candidate will be unable to find lawyers willing to battle on their behalf.A state court judge refused to halt the Texas Bar’s assault on Attorney General Ken Paxton for his decision to challenge several swing states’ execution of the 2020 election in Texas v. Pennsylvania, a little-noticed perfunctory order published in late January revealed. While the partisan targeting of Paxton represents but one of the many attempts by Democrats to weaponize state bars to dissuade attorneys from representing Republicans, court...

Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and the attorneys general from 17 additional states should all be disbarred, according to the reasoning of the disciplinary complaint the State Bar of California filed Thursday against former Trump campaign attorney John Eastman. That detail is one of many buried in the 35-page, 11-count disciplinary complaint made public yesterday in the latest lawfare attack on attorneys who deigned to represent Donald Trump. State Bar of California’s Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona announced on Thursday the filing of disciplinary charges against Eastman, allegedly arising from Eastman’s engagement “in a course of conduct...

More evidence that Joe Scarborough has descended deep into the liberal fever swamp. Now he's calling on a leftist billionaire with a fixation on impeaching President Trump to shell out for a phalanx of lawyers to get Attorney General Bill Barr disbarred.

At what point do public officials need to face professional consequences for their abuses of power? That’s what an attorney in Maryland is asking, and posing serious questions about former FBI Director James Comey’s credentials as a lawyer in the wake of this week’s memo scandal. According to The Washington Times, Ty Clevenger has filed a formal grievance to disbar Comey in New York, where the now scandal-plagued ex-director is licensed by the state bar to practice law. More recently, Democrat President Bill Clinton was disbarred by the state of Arkansas for committing perjury during the Monica Lewinksy scandal. Clevenger...

A coalition of left-wing advocacy groups filed legal ethics complaints on Monday against 12 former Bush administration lawyers, including three United States attorneys general, whom the groups accuse of helping to justify torture. The coalition, called Velvet Revolution, asked the bar associations in four states and the District of Columbia to disbar the lawyers, saying their actions violated the rules of professional responsibility by approving interrogation methods, including waterboarding, that constituted illegal torture. By writing or approving legal opinions justifying such methods, the advocates say, the Bush administration lawyers violated the Geneva Conventions, the Convention against Torture and American law....

Citing numerous instances of professional misconduct, the State Bar of Texas this month suspended local civil rights attorney James Myart Jr., a once acid-tongued critic of law enforcement who in recent months has fallen conspicuously silent. The three-year suspension, beginning May 1, will commence about three weeks before Myart, 54, is scheduled to face trial in state district court on an unrelated charge of aggravated perjury. On Oct. 31, he'll be placed on probation for 30 months. Myart agreed April 1 to the judgment, which marks the fourth time in less than a decade that the association has sanctioned the...

Controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson faces the start of an ethics trial this morning which could see him disbarred. The Florida Bar is pursuing several complaints concerning Thompson’s professional conduct in court cases against the video game industry. As reported by GamePolitics, Thompson’s bid to block the trial failed last week when U.S. District Court Judge Adalberto Jordan dismissed his suit against the Florida Bar and Judge Dava Tunis, the referee appointed by the Florida Supreme Court to preside over the case. Thompson’s attempt to add myself and the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) as co-defendants in that federal suit also...

Former Duke University lacrosse player Reade Seligmann, who had been cleared of charges he and two teammates raped a hired stripper, says he feels sorry for disgraced prosecutor Mike Nifong’s family — but not necessarily for Nifong. Seligmann says he was hurt by Nifong’s statement last week at a North Carolina bar disciplinary committee hearing that the former prosecutor still thinks “something happened in that bathroom” at that now-infamous team party last year. “It was probably one of the most difficult parts of the hearing,” Seligmann, 21, told TODAY host Meredith Vieira during an exclusive interview on Monday. “I really...

LITTLE ROCK — The suspension of Bill Clinton's law license entered its final year Wednesday with no word from the ex-president on whether he will seek to have it reinstated — now or ever. On his last full day as president, Clinton agreed to a five-year suspension of his license on the condition that Whitewater prosecutors wouldn't pursue criminal charges for "evasive and misleading answers" Clinton gave under oath about the Monica Lewinsky affair. Under the deal with Special Prosecutor Robert Ray, Clinton had to accept discipline from the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct. The panel voted...

(CNSNews.com) - A Massachusetts lawmaker issued what he called a five-count "indictment" against the state's highest judge, Margaret Marshall, on Tuesday, accusing her of conspiring with homosexual activists before ruling in favor of same-sex marriage last November. Democrat state Rep. Emile J. Goguen wants Marshall ousted as chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The information he released Tuesday cites alleged violations of the state's Code of Judicial Conduct and the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights. However, Goguen's accusations do not represent formal charges against Marshall. Goguen accused Marshall of "aiding and abetting" Mary L. Bonauto, the attorney who...
