In a searing recommendation for John Eastman’s disbarment on Wednesday, a judge on the State Bar Court of California recounted how a legal scholar advanced spurious theories in contravention of what he claimed to believe from Bush v. Gore until October 2020 about the 12th Amendment and Electoral Count Act, only to become the driving force behind Jan. 6 efforts to block congressional certification of the election Donald Trump lost.

State Bar Court Judge Yvette D. Roland found that the Office of Chief Trial Counsel (OCTC) successfully proved Eastman violated 10 of 11 attorney misconduct counts, only dismissing one moral turpitude count relating the Eastman’s Jan. 6 speech at the Ellipse.

“Although four of the five statements made at the Ellipse were false and misleading, OCTC failed to provide any evidence that Eastman’s statements ‘contributed to provoking the crowd to assault and breach the Capitol . . . when such harm was foreseeable,”” Roland explained.
