Corrupt. Totalitarian. Par for the course.
I was privileged to listen to John Eastman speak twice and lay out his case at David Horowitz Freedom Center events, including at the Restoration Weekend in New Orleans and at an event in Los Angeles. Both times, Eastman spoke compellingly about what he had gone through in the lawfare campaign to destroy him for representing Trump.
That includes the California bar’s effort to disbar him. An effort that has at least temporarily succeeded.
A California judge on Wednesday recommended disbarring a lawyer at the center of former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
State Bar Judge Yvette Roland found John Eastman culpable on 10 of the 11 counts filed by the California State Bar last year. The state bar sought to strip Eastman’s license to practice law in the state over “false and misleading statements” about purported election fraud and his role in “provoking” the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“In view of the circumstances surrounding Eastman’s misconduct and balancing the aggravation and mitigation, the court recommends that Eastman be disbarred,” Roland wrote in a 128-page decision.
This is the work of an abusive kangaroo court and a political appointee.
Yvette Roland, who had specialized in employment law, as a president of the Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, had been appointed to the State Bar Court by former Speaker Toni Atkins, whose main claim to fame was being the first lesbian in that position, and who tried to climb to the governorship on her record of Trump bashing.
Judge Yvette Roland donated to Kamala Harris in the past, as well as Obama. She’s a partisan Democrat handing down a partisan ruling that penalizes political opposition.
It’s par for the course in California, which has become a totalitarian one-party state, not so much because of a disproportionate demographic political tilt, as because the state became a test lab for leftists using every possible tool to suppress the opposition. Now that’s going nationwide.
Eastman will appeal, but the point here is intimidation as much as anything else.
Now the California State Bar Court has itself been notoriously enmeshed in scandals and been accused of corruption.
The State Bar of California has failed to effectively discipline corrupt attorneys, allowing lawyers to repeatedly violate professional standards and harm members of the public, according to a long-awaited audit of the agency released Thursday.
The audit of the State Bar was ordered last year by the Legislature in the wake of a Los Angeles Times investigation that documented how the now-disgraced attorney Tom Girardi cultivated close relationships with the agency and kept an unblemished law license despite over 100 lawsuits against him or his firm — with many alleging misappropriation of client money.
Earlier this month, a Chicago law firm accused Girardi and other lawyers at his defunct firm of running “the largest criminal racketeering enterprise in the history of plaintiffs’ law,” pocketing millions from clients, vendors and fellow attorneys.
That Girardi’s serial misconduct went unchecked for decades has forced a reckoning among the legal establishment. In addition to the State Bar’s acknowledgement of past mistakes, the agency has also been conducting a broad investigation into whether its own employees or other agency insiders helped Girardi skirt scrutiny. That investigation is ongoing, Duran confirmed.
Until recently, this was all playing out with allegations of RICO violations by the State Bar and million-dollar gifts.
Disbarred Los Angeles lawyer Tom Girardi funneled more than $1 million in gifts and payments to an investigator at the State Bar of California and the investigator’s wife, a USC accounting professor, according to a report released Friday.
The long-anticipated report, the result of a year-and-a-half investigation by a law firm working for the State Bar’s governing board, detailed how Girardi cultivated and sustained an “extensive network of connections at all levels” of the agency tasked with regulating California’s legal profession and described corruption beyond what is publicly known.
The law firm’s investigation also documented how numerous State Bar officials with close ties to Girardi killed complaints that came into the agency or improperly closed cases about the lawyer’s alleged misconduct.
After failing to take action against lawyers who were allegedly committing massive fraud, the State Bar went after John Eastman for… having the wrong politics.
That’s the California Democratic machine in a nutshell.
Proscription of Conservatives
Exactly, particularly anybody who has helped Trump in any way or even just worked for him. Eastman has been on TV the last few days talking about this situation and explaining in detail how illegal it is.
I’m so sick and tired of crooked judges and District Attorneys.
Thanks Jeff!!!!
The political targeting by the totalitarian state continues. It’s interesting to watch the left cower and project on camera when confronted with the possibility of another Trump presidency. Even ‘Goodfellas’ tough guy Robert De Niro winces at the prospect and claims he worries for his life should Trump regain the White House.
It’s all bad off-Broadway political theater of course; a feeble attempt to frighten the electorate into believing Trump would do things they themselves are perpetrating daily. The bad news for these bad actors is that the American people have witnessed this one-sided political targeting for years. So much so, it’s been rightly argued that if Letitia James had begun to purloin Trump assets, she would have single handedly placed him in the Oval Office.
It’s a bit of a shame though, that Trump won’t operate the same way. I know, I know…but we must admit that quite a few of these individuals could stand some targeting of their own.
They should all have their doors broken in and dragged out in whatever they wear to sleep and taken straight to jail – where they could rot for four years like the January 6th political prisoners without a trial unless they confess to the crimes and then it would be straight to jail.
But you’re right. Trump has said he won’t retaliate even though he desperately needs to. Look at the Hell he was put through when he was President that he didn’t have to put up with.
In the new F.I.S.A. world order, anybody who defends Donald J. Trump is, per se, spreading Russian disinformation and doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin. They teach that in law school now, I’m told.
What a disgrace the State Bar of California is with this Roland person at the helm. Disgusting.
What you are offering here is nothing more than a series of ad hominem attacks designed to distract from the relevant question: was Eastman guilty of advancing “false and misleading statements” about supposed fraud in the 2020 election? Given that you purportedly do not address the issue, I can only conclude that you know very well that he was. Kudos, Daniel!
I’m an attorney and that’s what I would think about any judge who would attempt to disbar me because he/she didn’t like the arguments I made on behalf of my clients. Attorneys are required by the canons of ethics to zealously defend their clients. You’re just the usual know-nothing jerk you usually portray yourself to be in your comments.
No, Eastman didn’t advance “false and misleading” statements about the proved fraud in the 2020 election. He’s said on Newsmax and Real America’s Voice exactly what he’s said and NONE of it was illegal. He explained IN DETAIL how it wasn’t illegal and detailed how this attempt to disbar him is blatantly illegal.
This is why I hate Dirtbagocrats like you. You’re perfectly willing to see a person’s life destroyed and even imprisoned just because they don’t support the D-Bag party. You’re scum.
I thought that laws are based on a true moral foundation and exist to protect human beings from other human beings’ different forms of abuse and thus preserve the wellbeing and moral integrity of society.
I thought that application of this law is deliberated by impartial judges of the highest moral, intellectual and professional integrity.
Oops.
One-party politics in a one-party state. Loathsome.. Glad I left years ago.
Same here – no regrets having left that hellhole
I visited S.F. in 1993. A beautiful and charming city. Yet it was a filthy, homeless mess then.
I’ll never set foot there again. Or ANYWHERE on left coast (oops, west coast). And NE USA plus Illinois. Twin schitties too.
Nope!
I live in San Jose CA and the city government sucks but the county government is O.K. Everybody knows how anti-American and stupid the state government here is.
I agree with you about San Fan and live a short drive away. Southern Illinois isn’t so bad but I wouldn’t go anywhere near Cook County. The Twin Shitties are hellholes but the airport is nice, so long as you stay inside to wait for your connecting flight. But Nebraska? Omaha and Douglas County ruin the entire state, which is too bad because except for Lincoln, the rest of the state is farmland and scattered tiny towns and thew people there are generally friendly and decent. The last I knew, Douglas and Lancaster Counties were the only blue ones in the state. Men have no rights whatsoever in Douglas County and are actively persecuted, especially by white knight judges in divorce cases.
I’ll never set foot in NE again, even though my son lives there.
True, CA is lost but D-Bag judges and District Attorneys in every state that allows them to goes after Trump and his associates.

You don’t know anything about Eastman and his situation and you obviously didn’t even reads this article, douche breath.
Hey FPM moderators. Don’t bother printing this but…over 5 hours awaiting “moderation” from someone who’s been here every morning for over a year who’s pro conservative, pro Israel, pro Constitution and pro life?
Thanks anyway. Save my spot for Mickorn and other communists who always seem to eek out an existence here. I’ll spend my time at Citizens Free Press, where my opinion seems to be more valued. Shame really, because you guys really had it going on. Later.

The whole Sate Bar should a ll be totally removed from office and jailed
The cancer of the coup d’etat we are in without firing a single shot, the first salvo was the pLandemic, the final salvo was the rigging and theft of the 2020 election. Now look at what one side in illegitimate power is doing to all and everyone defending President Trump to President Trump and if you wear a MAGA hat and of course if you are Jewish you have now fomented antisemitism as antisemitism is always fomented to stupid fools who know not the truth and righteousness of YHVH and Yeshua Messiah. Conspiracy theories of yore are conspiracy facts today, We thought we were immune from this banana republic commie fascist dictator totalitarian government, yet here we are and people still do not want to admit we are in a coup d’etat!
So Justice Clarence Thomas should be impeached because his wife supports Republicans, but this judge should not even though he donates to Democrats himself. Got it.
What can one expect for a state that voted in Gruesome Newsom, the CCP’s new favorite?
And a state that tolerated DA Kamala Harris cackling through countless Stalinesque show trials?
The Democrat Party is to blame, not the state.
Actually, Greasehead Newscum lost that recall and held on through vote fraud. It was citizens who forced him to undergo the recall. Citizens here can have any ballot we want put up for a vote if enough signatures are collected. I forget how many. He was forced into a recall because most of us hate him. No way did he get past that recall vote legitimately.
The Democrats have rigged the elections so many ways I can’t remember them all.
Motor voter.
Ballot harvesting.
Jungle Primary.
Ranked Choice.
Partisan Judges and DAs.
Illegal immigrant voters.
Creating dependent classes and bribing them.
Monopolizing of newspapers and other media by Democrats. Subtle inserting propaganda into articles whenever possible.
Driving rural citizens out of the countryside into large Democrat cities by numerous means including making mountain lions a protected species (I have to watch for mountain lions whenever I go outside at night).
Driving conservatives out of the state.
Exploiting term limits, making it a game of musical chairs for Democrat politicians (when termed out they just run for a different office).
Huge campaign contributions to Democrat candidates so Republicans give up contesting many districts.
Etc.
This is suppresion of dissenting views on a grand scale
Yes and political lawfare like that waged against Trump.
