The State Bar Court of California recommends that John Eastman be disbarred. The opinion is impressive - detailed, clear, and absolutely firm that lying about law and fact to a court is disqualifying for membership in the bar. Equally firmly, the court finds that Eastman conspired to commit a crime with his client, Donald Trump, by conspiring to obstruct the electoral count for the 2020 presidential election. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24521262-eastman-decision-trial #LawFedi #LegalEthics #Jan6 1/

Former #FBI director #JamesComey indicted by #Trump #DOJ
AG #PamBondi said on social media that “no one is above the law” moments after #Comey was indicted on charges of making a false statement & obstruction.
“Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people,” Bondi posted with zero irony.
Bondi did not add any more details.

Though not serving as Trump’s attorney when he appeared as a witness today in Trump’s trial for criminally falsifying business records, Robert Costello is a lawyer, bound by New York’s Rules of Professional Conduct. Costello repeatedly showed his ethical unfitness, violating the most basic principles that inform the entire code. I’ve screenshot the very first paragraph of the entire code, highlighting the most pertinent phrases. 1/ #LawFedi #Ethics #LegalEthics
