Fmr #Trump atty #JohnEastman plans to appeal his #disbarment.

His lawyer says it's unfair Eastman should have to fight #criminal charges in #Georgia w/o being able to earn money as a #lawyer to pay his #legal bills.

This is like a convicted drug dealer saying it’s unfair he can no longer sell crack because he has to pay his lawyer.

Ridiculous.

@Nonilex Wait a sec…is Eastman saying that in order to properly defend himself, he needs to have enough money to do so, that, say, a public defender would be insufficient?

Huh. What an interesting thought. So interesting I’m sure it never slid down into the sewer that is his brain.

@Nonilex "But your Honor, how am I supposed to pay my lawyer to appeal this conviction if I can't pedal dope to schoolkids??"
@Nonilex Why doesn't he just pull himself up by his bootstraps?
@Nonilex What can I say? "Fuck that guy" comes to mind...
