John Eastman Suspended From Practicing Law by DC Appeals Court

Donald Trump lawyer John Eastman has been temporarily suspended from practicing law in the District of Columbia in response to a similar prohibition by a California judge.

The suspension is temporary until the final disposition of the California proceeding, DC Court of Appeals Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby wrote Friday.

California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland on May 1 rejected Eastman’s attempt to lift his suspension in that state, saying his disbarment would “safeguard the public” after he made false claims about the 2020 election. The California Supreme Court will make the final determination.

Eastman is one of several former Trump lawyers facing sanctions. Rudolph Giuliani and Kenneth Chesebro have also had their licenses suspended, and Jeffrey Clark faces possible disbarment after a DC Bar committee on April 4 preliminarily found he violated at least one ethics rule by lying about alleged election fraud.

In California, Roland in March found that Eastman should be disbarred for knowingly making false claims about Trump winning the 2020 presidential election.

2. Welcome to FIND OUT, traitor. You can tell these necrotic foreskins thought they would get by with it with "nothing to

see here” we were just lawyering… I hope Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, and Rudy end up with only fans accounts where people can pay money to ridicule them in real time.

5. Excellent I want all those attorneys who tried to overthrow our government lose their licenses and end

Up penniless and destroyed. All those magaloons that participated in January 6th who ended up in jail are gong to have a harder life when they get out with a felony on their records. Would you hire a felon who tried to overthrow our government?

Support a conman and get screwed over! Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of idiots!

6. This is good news.

When permanent it will be even better news.

7. John "Worst-man"

Probably was once a good guy. Fuck him. I could say "Tuck Him," which means in republican speak, he let tRump fuck him.
Lose your license and I wonder what you tell your friends and family, including the little kids down the line??? Bet those folks at the country club are proud of you.

[calimary]

8. HELL YES he should be disbarred.

Temporary nothing. He deserves the permanent kind.

10. Did anyone bring a violin? I can't seem to find mine.

It's so small.

[FakeNoose]

11. You're welcome to borrow mine

Eastman loses his license - but he needs to be in prison immediately.

15. TY...

12. What the hell would make anybody throw their career in the dumpster for one man?

Oh, that's right, the Kool aid.

13. Florida here he comes!

[Botany]

14. FAFO John

And you threw your life away for Donald Trump too.

[Martin68]

16. Yes. Take away their law licenses, their business licenses, their freedom.

Every step like this weakens their ability to attack our democracy.

[azureblue]

17. JFC!

He participated in, if not created, a plot to overthrow the newly elected government, and all he gets is a "we're so sorry to have to suspend your license"?

[Escurumbele]

18. Is there a difference between "suspended" and "revoked"? They should never be allowed again to practice law.

The crime they committed is too big to allow these goons to ever practice law.

[Grins]

19. Can't believe it takes this long to disbar a lawyer...

…in California. His “trial” began last June. He resigned from both Chapman and the U. of Colorado law schools all of ONE WEEK after the attempted Coup d’Etat failed. Because of that attempt!

It took 29-months to start his disbarment??? Five more months of hearings? A declaration by the court 2 more months later that he should go? And still nothing?

20. John Eastman's DC law license has been suspended pending resolution of his California disbarment proceedings.
