2 thoughts on “John Eastman: Another Biden Lawfare Victim”
This was a rail road job. Eastman officially lost his ability to practice law in the state of California.
Attorney Alan Dershowitz said the cases against constitutional lawyer John Eastman in Georgia and Arizona should not move forward, saying Eastman simply did what “lawyers do.”
Eastman, who crafted legal documents arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the power to reject electoral votes, was among those charged, alongside President-elect Donald Trump, after a grand jury in Fulton County, Ga., handed down indictments in August 2023. This, over Trump’s efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election in that state. Dershowitz said that even though he disagreed with Eastman, whom he met at a Saturday event at Mar-a-Lago, Eastman should not have been prosecuted by either Georgia or Arizona.
“I said that John Eastman shouldn’t be prosecuted for having a different view of the election. Eastman honestly believed the election was stolen,” Dershowitz said. “I did not. I thought the election fairly went to Joe Biden. I did think that the Pennsylvania vote was unconstitutional, but even if the Pennsylvania vote was discounted, in my view, there wasn’t enough to turn the election over [to] Donald Trump. Reasonable people can disagree or agree with that.”
I agree, Fred, that Eastman was treated unjustly. In fact, many folks who have been associated with Trump in some way have been treated unjustly. This has been a terrible time.
