DJT the biggest loser and grifter, both at the same time.

T'rump lawyer falls off the edge of the known universe...

The hilarious part is that he's a professor at Chapman College here in Orange county, home of the free range libertarians. Chapman is so far right they make USC look like Berserkly.

I've read the public statement of Professor George Eastman, linked above. After going on lucidly enough, for some pages, about the tempest in a chamber pot regarding his address citation on his Supreme Court brief, Professor Eastman leaps into deep water indeed. The following are some assertions of fact from the later part of his public statement:

"Georgia, for example, claimed that “the State and its officers have implemented and followed [the election] laws” enacted by the Legislature, but then acknowledged later in the same brief that it did not."

"...the major media in this country has become little more than a propaganda machine for one of the country’s two major political parties."

"The fact of the matter is that partisan election officials, and in some cases partisan judicial officials, altered or ignored key provisions of state election law. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court did so on the eve of the election and also, stunningly, three weeks after the election. That is a fact."

There is more, but that gives the flavor of it.

As ever when the various Trump election cases are put forward by advocates, we have claims without evidence. But I disagree about the 'stench of incompetency' my friend mentions above. For a piece of tendentious advocacy, this is quite competently written. What offends my friend's nostrils is instead the stench of dishonor, because Mr. Eastman, as a certainly competent writer and thinker, must know the quality of the evidence available to back up his bold assertions of fact. He therefore knows his case to be pure horseshit, and he has departed from all claim and right to be a respected member of an honorable profession that claims to hold members of the bar to standards of honesty.

Ahem,

shy·ster
/ˈSHīstər/

a person, especially a lawyer, who uses unscrupulous, fraudulent, or deceptive methods in business.

Shyster is a slang word for someone who acts in a disreputable, unethical, or unscrupulous way, especially in the practice of law, sometimes also politics or business. Wikipedia

Your welcome

I should have ref'ed DT directly in my post as the intended subject, that he has beguiled so many chronological "adults" is beyond my comprehension of rational behavior of them.

A Vilified Dominion Executive Sues Promoters of a Bizarre Tale at the Center of DiaperDon's Election Conspiracy Theory
Eric Coomer says the claim that he bragged about fixing the election during an "antifa conference call" provoked a torrent of abuse and death threats.

https://reason.com/2020/12/24/a-vili...piracy-theory/

It's pretty clear, judging by our resident Trumpkin fools, that there are many sociopathic supporters of DiaperDon, who willingly believe this sort of nonsense, and will do ANYTHING for their Dear Leader. Sad, pathetic, misguided little fools.

Ah. Yes, Trump of course is an incompetent grifter.
