Donald Trump’s 1/6 lackey John Eastman throws a tantrum as it all falls apart

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

With Jack Smith’s January 6th criminal investigation seemingly nearing the end of the grand jury stage, we’ll see who all gets indicted alongside Donald Trump. In the meantime one of Trump’s biggest January 6th lackeys, attorney John Eastman, is seeing things fall apart for him already.

Eastman has apparently lost his law professor job over January 6th. Now he’s in danger of being disbarred as well, and he’s very upset that the judge is allowing the disbarment hearing to be live streamed:

Of course what John Eastman should really be worried about is whether Jack Smith ends up criminally indicting him for his role in the 2020 election overthrow plot. While Smith’s indictment in the classified documents probe was limited (for now) to just Trump and Walt Nauta, Smith’s January 6th probe appears to be much broader and could result in the indictments of any number of Trump co-conspirators.
