OA1109 and T3BE54 - John Eastman is many things: a hack, a liar,  a disgraced law school dean, a failed Wikipedia editor, and a mostly-disbarred, twice-indicted traitor to the Constitution on a desperate PR campaign to distance himself from the violent insurrection of January 6, 2021 which he set in motion with his  patently bad-faith legal advice to the Trump campaign. But did you know that he also isn’t even a person? Our Profiles in Fascism series continues with a have-to-hear-this-to-believe-it reading from the pages of the Claremont Institute’s deranged American Mind. (There’s just too much good stuff here for the regular show, so the last half is for patrons only!) 

Then, Heather is back with the answer to T3BE Q53 and a fresh new question 54!

• “The Unpersoning of John Eastman,” TJ Harker, The American Mind (5/2/24)

• The 65 Project’s complaint re: John Eastman to the CA bar (7/28/22)

• CA Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland’s recommendation in John Eastman’s disbarment proceedings (3/27/24)
