Roland emphasized that Eastman\u200b was aware of the possibility \u2063of being charged in Georgia when he gave \u2062the interview, as he had already \u2064been interviewed by the grand jury.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2064 is firmly established\u2064 that a witness cannot \u2062choose to testify willingly about \u2064a topic during a single legal proceeding \u2063and then later claim \u2063the right to \u2062remain silent under self-incrimination\u200c privilege when asked about specific subjects,&#8221;\u2064 Roland\u200b wrote. &#8220;[Eastman] \u200bwas completely aware that he \u2062had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/two-top-republicans-want-to-interview-fbi-agents-behind-controversial-hunter-biden-briefing-in-2020\/\" title=\"Two Top Republicans Want to Interview FBI Agents Behind Controversial Hunter Biden Briefing in 2020\">potential criminal exposure<\/a>\u200c for his actions \u2064surrounding the 2020 election&#8230;\u200b yet, respondent gave considerable testimony\u200b without ever invoking the Fifth Amendment\u200b and did not\u200d seek abatement until six days into trial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Roland acknowledged that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-election-attorney-john-eastman-faces-potential-disbarment-for-providing-president-legal-advice\/\" title=\"Trump lawyer John Eastman may be disbarred for advising the president.\">disbarment case<\/a> would typically be paused due to criminal charges, but she deemed this case as a &#8220;unique circumstance&#8221; due to Eastman&#8217;s\u2064 extensive testimony. The California bar aims to revoke\u200c Eastman&#8217;s law license in the state based on allegations that he encouraged Georgia politicians to\u200d create a \u2063fraudulent alternate slate\u2063 of Electoral\u200d College votes.<\/p>\n<p>Eastman voluntarily \u200csurrendered himself to authorities \u200cin Georgia \u200con Tuesday.\u2062 He is one of 19 individuals,\u200b including Donald Trump, indicted by\u2063 Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis \u200cfor\u2063 their alleged roles in attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>It is important\u2064 to note that Eastman has not\u2064 been named in\u2063 a separate\u200c federal case in Washington, D.C.,\u2063 related \u200cto the January 6th \u2064Capitol riot in\u2064 2021, \u2063and\u2062 no\u200d federal\u2063 charges have been brought against him thus far.\u200d However, he has been \u2063described\u2064 as a co-conspirator, leaving \u200cthe possibility of \u200cfuture charges.<\/p>\n<p>The disbarment \u2062hearing, which was \u2062previously postponed in June due to scheduling conflicts, has now resumed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A California judge rejected John Eastman&#8217;s plea to delay his disbarment trial, despite being a co-defendant in a major Georgia election fraud racketeering case.
