To assist late arrivers in getting up-to-speed on this matter, please read my prior commentaries: Defending John Eastman Part 1 and Part 2.
After several months of hearings, etc. last week, the judge rendered her decision and declared that John should lose his law license for a potpourri of “reasons.” Based on my involvement (and 12± hours of testimony), I politely disagree. But I digress…
I had to wade through over 50 one-sided media articles (like the prejudicial and inaccurate recounting by the NYT) before I came to a competent one: “The regime has lost all perspective and decency in its war on its perceived enemies.”
After further digging, I also found this excellent commentary: The Heroic Sacrifice of John Eastman. After I posted this commentary, I was sent This Easter, They are Trying to Disbar my Attorney, and Anyone Else who Stands in Their Way.
In my view (as a non-attorney) the two issues debated in this case were:
1 - Did John Eastman have a reasonable basis to believe that the certified 2020 Presidential election results of some states, were likely very inaccurate?
2 - If yes, what should have been his legal advice to VP Mike Pence regarding how to treat certain state certifications of likely very inaccurate results?
John Eastman said YES to the first question. As an election integrity expert (e.g., see here), I also said definitely YES to the first question. (Since I’m not a lawyer or a Constitutional expert, I can’t speak to the second question.)
For a sample of the evidence as to why I say YES, see here.
The California prosecutor, and now the judge, said NO to the first question, which meant that the second one was legally moot anyway.
Dr. Eastman is not only a respected Constitutional expert, but he was Dean of the Claremont Law School for over ten years. In other words, he is no ambulance chaser.
If you’d like to follow the next developments of this saga, please go to John Eastman’s relatively new Substack column, for his own commentary!
We are in very dangerous waters when the judicial system misinterprets (or misapplies) the law, for political reasons. That’s how third-world countries have been known to operate.
Yet again we are dependent on Critically Thinking citizens who can see through the blatant bias of the media, as well as the politicization of the judicial system.

I feel sorry for Eastman, as well as all the others who are victims of our two-tiered justice system, starting with Mike Flynn. The Jan. 6 protestors and Eastman, and of course Trump, are the latest examples of a weaponized DOJ, which gives the real crooks like the Biden crime family a pass.
Excellent work by John Droz as usual. I've been able to email with him for years now, I've had his name as a setup item at the very top of my own About page ( http://gelbspanfiles.com/?page_id=16 ) for my GelbspanFiles blog for over a decade. When I emailed him earlier today to compliment him on this piece, he suggested I should sign into Substack and repeat what I said here. So, that's what follows below:
I'd somehow missed his prior Parts 1 & 2, so this Part 3 was good to know of, including his link to the The American Mind post on Eastman and their own link to AZ Sun Times Rachael Alexander's piece on his trial. All of this wants to make my head explode on the sheer extent of the wacko left to be devote all their waking hours to attaining total control over everything.
The other thing that kills me is where these leftist mobsters get the money to do all of this. A day ago at my blog, I had to update my money count for the ex-head of Greenpeace USA, John Passacantando ( http://gelbspanfiles.com/?p=12705 ), who now operates a no-presence-on-the-internet 'Hunter Biden-style' LLC shell company - the man has accumulated $295,033 short of $20 MILLION so far. Passacantando was paraded in front of 2015-era NY AG office attorneys ( http://gelbspanfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Roland-Lee-v-Soon.jpg ) in their exploratory meeting effort on how to file an ExxonKnew lawsuit - a meeting arranged by Rockefeller Family Fund Director Lee Wasserman, where the discussion was going to be about smearing the credibility of skeptic climate scientist Dr Willie Soon. Passacantando's wife right up to the present time, Lisa Guide, is the Associate Director at RFF. According to an IRS 990 I found this afternoon for RFF, Lisa Guide's salary is over $370k per year.
Imagine if all these control freak lawfare mobsters had to go out and get REAL jobs .......
