John Eastman is a prominent target of lawfare. He had his phone seized by the FBI. He is at risk of losing his legal license for opining on the 2020 Presidential elections. Dr. Eastman was swept up in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s witch hunt. Resulting trumped-up charges of racketeering conspiracy aimed at subverting Georgia state’s election laws in 2020 were leveled against him because he had different interpretations of breaking elections data and a differing read on unprecedented election interference than woke lawyers.
