Federal District Court Judge Beryl Howell permanently enjoined the Trump Administration from implementing the president’s executive order targeting the Perkins Coie law firm.

John Eastman is a revered conservative constitutional scholar who advised Trump and other campaign officials on the possibility that Vice President Mike Pence might have the discretion to reject or delay the counting of contested elector slates.

Eastman frequently testifies before congressional committees, appears on network news broadcasts and writes prolifically for major publications.

John C. Eastman has been twice indicted, suspended from practice of law, recommended for disbarment, and excoriated by progressive law school professors and judges.

Both Perkins Coie and Eastman gave legal advice to presidential candidates on their election, and it is alleged that their advice led to destabilizing the U.S. government.

Julian Zelizer : California bar abandoned pretense of due process, including due process.

Zelizer says the radical Left should not be able to get away with indicting those who have opinions contrary to their own.

If Eastman had been a Democratic activist, there isn't the remotest possibility he would have been charged or disbarred for presenting a range of legal theories.
