Commentary

If John Eastman were a radical leftist activist lawyer like the late William Kunstler, he would be celebrated around the land, as Kunstler was, even getting a cameo in Oliver Stone’s “The Doors.” Instead, Eastman is suffering a McCarthyite persecution simply for advising the president of the United States of the time, Donald Trump, on a constitutional matter during the January 6, 2021 disturbances at the Capitol.
