The good news: "#JohnEastman, the attorney who masterminded the legal strategy behind President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has been officially #disbarred in #California."
https://www.mediaite.com/crime/attorney-who-masterminded-trumps-attempt-to-overturn-election-disbarred/

The bad news: Disbarment and disciplinary proceedings are currently governed by state law. But the Trump DOJ is considering a rule that would require state bar associations to suspend their reviews of DOJ lawyers until the DOJ does its own reviews.

More good news: Several states oppose the proposed DOJ rule, including CA, IL, ME, NY, and PA. Here's the position of the #Maine Supreme Court.

I'm having the hardest time getting people to call me back about this whole house situation that I'm in.

Is it hard to get an attorney to commit a client? Is it just a LI thing? Is it possible that my father's attorney is sabotaging me? Calling ahead to places and telling them not to take my case?

Update. #ThomsonReuters fired a senior attorney for her role in the employee letter protesting the company's allegedly illegal conduct.
https://www.404media.co/thomson-reuters-fired-worker-for-speaking-out-about-ice-former-employee-says/

Billie Little, the fired attorney, says she was fired for an "unspecified code of conduct violation." She believes she was singled out because she was the most visible leader behind the protest letter. She's suing for reinstatement and damages, and for firing her in violation of the Oregon #whistleblower statute. She maintains that the data the company sold to #ICE "circumvented and violated state sanctuary laws, privacy protections, and the Constitution.”
