Fulton County co-conspirator John Eastman lost his latest bid to push off the inevitable revocation of his law license in California on Wednesday when a judge ruled against his latest gambit to continue his practice while essentially being unlicensed. Eastman wanted to retain his license, which was revoked for various ethical breaches concerning his role in Donald Trump’s 2021 coup attempt, while he appealed his law license’s revocation. But the court wasn’t playing games, saying Eastman continues to be a threat to the public:
The court’s decision determined that Eastman made deceptive and misleading claims in legal documents, public forums, and other contexts concerning the 2020 presidential election and the extent of Vice President Michael R. Pence’s authority to override the electoral process. Eastman’s motion fails to demonstrate that he no longer presents a threat to the public. Despite his clients’ desire for Eastman to continue representing them, based on the gravity of Eastman’s transgressions, particularly those involving moral turpitude, and the increased likelihood of future misconduct due to his refusal to acknowledge any wrongdoing, there is insufficient evidence to justify a stay of his involuntary inactive enrollment.
