From Raw Story:
Two years after penning the infamous "coup memo," the California Bar Association is recommending that former Chapman Law Professor John Eastman be disbarred.
According to a release, there are 11 disciplinary counts (PDF). One count is, "Failure to Support the Constitution and Laws of the United States. There are two counts of "Seeking to Mislead a Court." The Bar Association also cites six counts of "Moral Turpitude - Misrepresentation," and two counts of simply "Moral Turpitude."
“There is nothing more sacrosanct to our American democracy than free and fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power,” said State Bar of California’s Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona in the filing. “For California attorneys, adherence to the U.S. and California Constitutions is their highest legal duty. The Notice of Disciplinary Charges alleges that Mr. Eastman violated this duty in furtherance of an attempt to usurp the will of the American people and overturn election results for the highest office in the land—an egregious and unprecedented attack on our democracy—for which he must be held accountable.”

According to the article, the most serious charge against Eastman involves his attempts to cast doubt upon the validity of the 2020 election results, including the speech he gave on Jan. 6 to the crowd of MAGA insurrectionists.
Eastman himself knew he was breaking the law, as he was one of a handful of Trumpers who requested a pardon in the aftermath of Jan. 6. He also tried to block the House Jan. 6 Committee from reviewing 37,000 of his emails and other documents related to the coup attempt.
Disbarment is the very least of consequences deserved by Eastman, sole author of the infamous Coup Memo. He should be put in jail for the rest of his life.
