It wasn’t always like this for John Eastman. He wasn’t always buried beneath malicious lawsuits, bar complaints, and subpoenas. He wasn’t always calling the state cops and the FBI about threatening emails and phone calls. He wasn’t getting feces thrown onto his property. He wasn’t replacing his car’s tires because someone kept burying four-inch spikes in his dirt driveway.
But that’s what a man gets for providing legal advice to former President Donald Trump in the wake of the 2020 election. He gets his cellphone illegally snatched by the FBI, and it goes downhill from there.
It doesn’t matter that Eastman has a law degree from the University of Chicago. Or that he clerked for Clarence Thomas. Or that he served for decades as professor of constitutional law and dean of Chapman Law School. Or that he founded the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence at the Claremont Institute. It doesn’t matter that he’s been involved in more than 200 constitutional cases before the Supreme Court over the past 20 years, including advising Florida’s legislature in Bush v. Gore. Doesn’t matter that he was an Eagle Scout, a former Boy Scout troop leader, and that he sang in the church choir.
Henninger is right. And Eastman’s high price just got even higher. Last week, hard-left California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland recommended that Eastman’s California law license be revoked due to his having provided legal counsel to Trump. As the Associated Press reports, “Eastman, a former law school dean, faced 11 disciplinary charges in the state bar court stemming from his development of a legal strategy to have then-Vice President Mike Pence interfere with the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory.”
“Interfere” is an intentional term and a tendentious one. The AP refers to Eastman’s consultations with Trump and Pence in the days leading up to January 6, 2021, regarding the electoral count and congressional certification of the 2020 election results. Eastman, in exploring Trump’s legal options, suggested that VP Pence, as the presiding officer of the Senate, could reject disputed electors or could send disputed electoral delegations back to their state legislatures to be corrected.
Eastman testified under oath that he told both Trump and Pence that the former action wouldn’t be prudent. Instead, as noted in an open letter from his adult children, Benjamin Eastman and Christina Wheatland, “He proposed that Pence accede to requests from more than 100 state legislators to send the matter back to the state legislatures to assess the allegations of fraud and the impact of illegality on the election.”
An Attorney representing his client is now unlawful if the client is Republican.
