But because Eastman has done nothing wrong, he has nothing to hide, right?

Funny, instead of asking for reconsideration, isn’t the normal approach to file an appeal?

Hey Eastman, your taylor called and your orange jumpsuit is almost ready. Like any cancer, Eastman needs to be removed from society.

With more than 40 Trump lawyers singled out for ethics complaints and even more facing charges, legal experts joke MAGA now stands for ‘Making Attorneys Get Attorneys’ is the headline of this Business Insider article and it’s a considerably more accurate fit than the putative original meaning of the initialism.

Speaking of which: ETTD

Eastman would be better advised to find a very good criminal attorney to represent him in future if he hasn’t done so already.

Can’t they just put the cuffs on the asshole, exactly as if he’d been caught shoplifting a loaf of bread?

You can ask a court for reconsideration, and sometimes it works, but you better have something really important that was obviously overlooked. Judges don’t like changing their minds. .

Must be nice to be able to litigate and litigate and litigate until you get the answer you like.

What’s all this “Dr.” Eastman business? He has a Juris Doctor, but that’s basically their law degree, a J.D. I’ve never heard of an attorney calling himself or herself “Dr.” based on having a J.D.

Is this submission yet additional evidence of another potential criminal act?

Eastman knew that what he was doing was wrong. He was banking on his plan working so he would never be prosecuted. In the alternative he really thought Trump would give him a pardon walkng out the door.

Eastman begs the judge?
Fuck him
And while we’re at it… quote from cnn.com

"Former Russian President and Prime Minister and current deputy head of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said the power supply situation in Ukraine could improve if Kyiv would recognize “Russia’s demands.”

“The path to energy supply stability is different. It is necessary to recognize the legitimacy of Russia’s demands within the framework of the special military operation and its results, reflected in our Constitution. And then the light will come on…” Medvedev said on his Telegram account Friday.

Ukraine and the United Nations General Assembly have condemned Russia’s attempted annexations of four Ukrainian zones, saying it is illegal and not valid."

My reply…

FUCK YOU MR MEDVEDEV

Your dictator, Putin attacked Ukraine unprovoked and for no more reason than hunger for an empire that used to be. Putin has destroyed Russia’s reputation for at minimum a generation. And he has cored out your army. It’s time for him to be on the chopping block and fed into a shredder and for you, Dmitry, to learn to flip burgers at McDonald’s.
