re: #62 No Malarkey!

From the article:

Eastman’s attorney, Randall Miller, however argued at a State Bar Court courtroom in downtown Los Angeles that his client should not be found culpability and should face no discipline or sanctions.

Miller argued that as the courts were not providing any sort of relief for Eastman’s client he turned to “other potential remedies not foreclosed by clearly established precedent.”

Miller added that it was still an “open question” whether the vice president has the authority to delay or halt the certification of the electors. He said Eastman engaged in a “good-faith interpretation of the historical record” that was “not foreclosed by precedent…”

He added that “every lawyer is ethically and by oath obligated to pursue a matter on behalf of a client despite opposition, obstruction or personal inconvenience to the lawyer, and take whatever lawful and ethical measures are required to vindicate a client’s cause or endeavor. And with commitment and dedication to the interests of the client and with zeal in advocacy upon the client’s behalf. That principle, the law for 225 years, teeters under the weight of this Bar proceeding.”

Miller argued that his client has First Amendment protection when he alleged fraud in the election. Miller also discounted the public claims from Barr and others regarding the integrity of the election.

Except they all knew it was bullshit. All of them.

It sounds like Eastman’s attorney should be disbarred as well.
