How many people have blown their careers in the defense of the nation's biggest traitor? Is anyone keeping a list?

(4,015 posts)I guess you could suggest that Eastman shouldn't have gotten a JD, and, thus, Chicago should be investigated.
But it seems more likely to me the poster was referring to Chapman, the law school where Eastman was dean.

(4,015 posts)I'm just suggesting that the poster who urged investigation of Eastman's law school was likely referring to Chapman, where Eastman was dean.
Not sure what difference it makes how many U.Chicago people are in government.
U.Chicago does, however, have a bit of a reputation for being on the rightish side of things, so there's that.

(29,221 posts)Constitutional scholar my ass. That's what he was billed as when he was the keynote speaker at our yearly constitution (fascist) week here my town. He spoke in 2020 and 2021.. after the attempted coup.
We've been complaining about town funding for this event for years and they finally pulled it in 2020, but the local VFW gave $5000. Several locals quit over that, but the hate is strong up here.

(126,683 posts)or we can play it rough. Easy means you resign and we all agree not to tangle each other up in any litigation on this topic. BUT rough means we call back the scores of well-educated, experienced, connected lawyers from both sides of the aisle who really want to see you squashed good, and we work with them to smother you under legal paper for years: we'll go after you for damaqing our reputation and ignoring your contractual obligations and whatever else our hellhounds dream up; so you'll wish at first you were just in a good old-time ear-biting eye-gouging goldrush-era saloon brawl, and you'll finally end up crying that there aren't supposed to be more than four horsemen in the apocalypse. It's your call, but seems like every day we're getting ten or fifteen new volunteer attorneys to burn your ass"

(126,683 posts)The State Bar of Californias Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona announced .. the filing of a Notice of Disciplinary Charges (NDC) against attorney John Charles Eastman (State Bar No. 193726). The 11 charges arise from allegations that Eastman engaged in a course of conduct to plan, promote, and assist then-President Trump in executing a strategy, unsupported by facts or law, to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by obstructing the count of electoral votes of certain states.
Specific charges allege that Eastman made false and misleading statements regarding purported election fraud, including statements on January 6, 2021, at a rally in Washington, D.C., that contributed to provoking a crowd to assault and breach the Capitol to intimidate then-Vice President Pence and prevent the electoral count from proceeding.
The Office of Chief Trial Counsel (OCTC) intends to seek Eastmans disbarment before the State Bar Court.
In March 2022, Cardona invoked a public protection waiver to announce that an investigation of Eastman was underway. Eastman now faces multiple charges that he violated Business and Professions Code section 6106 by making false and misleading statements that constitute acts of moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption ...
