MAGA lawyer John Eastman’s license status with the State Bar of California has been officially updated to “Not Eligible to Practice Law” as of Tuesday as a result of last week’s finding of a court misconduct proceeding over his involvement in fat former President Trump’s failed post-2020 election coup attempt, a status we’re calling “un-barred” for now because it will take the very certain failure of his appeal with the state Supreme Court to make it officially “disbarred.”
Hilariously the status page also says “CONSUMER ALERT: This attorney has been charged with a felony. The felony matter is pending in the State of Georgia, Fulton County Superior Court (Case No 23SC188947). For more information, contact the court in the jurisdiction where the case is pending. The State Bar posts consumer alerts online when lawyers are charged in a criminal court with a felony or felonies. Anyone who believes they have been the victim of attorney misconduct is urged to file a complaint with the State Bar,” but that’s probably been there since August.
