>Mr Eastman is facing a potential disbarment for his involvement in a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. He attempted to call a man named Joseph Fried, an accountant who wrote an eBook that questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election results, as a witness.

>“I don’t see how Mr Fried is qualified to be an expert,” NPR reporter Tom Dreisbach reported her saying. “He has no experience in voting or election matters.”
For the record, not every accountant who writes an ebook qualifies as a expert witness. Good call by California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland.
He should be charged with high treason, attempted usurpation if the US government and hung in a public forum. So that anyone who even thinks about repeating something this heinous finds out what happens when you fuck around.
Typical right wing Trumpist, when caught they were “just asking questions”, the whole subversion of democracy means nothing to them…as they don’t believe in democracy when their side loses

I love the fact that his own hair looks like those silly white wigs that British barristers still wear. It lends him appropriate (non-)gravitas.

Probably an expert at taking cash from the far right and then having strong opinions about things.

The “expert” is a CPA. Time to write to the AICPA and get him kicked out.

I really hope that this “lawyer” loses his license and goes the hell away to another dimension.
