In order to represent trump and do his bidding, a lawyer has to violate the code of ethics. We will see still more disbarments in the future.

A legal expert shared a stark warning during a new podcast episode after a MAGA lawyer was officially disbarred in California.

Glenn Kirschner, a former assistant U.S. attorney, said on a new episode of his podcast, "Justice Matters," that MAGA attorney John Eastman's disbarment this week symbolized how continued fealty to President Donald Trump can have disastrous consequences. Eastman was disbarred by the California Supreme Court on Wednesday for his role in helping Trump obstruct the 2020 election results.

Kirschner noted that other lawyers Trump worked with on the plot, such as Rudy Giuliani and Kenneth Chesebro, have also been disbarred for their actions.

"Will these Trump lawyers and these Trump-affiliated lawyers never learn?" Kirschner said. "Because they're being disbarred one after another after another. And frankly, I suspect there is more to come."

"It really shouldn't be that hard for these attorneys to represent the interests of the American people and to remain loyal to the rule of law rather than serving an aspiring dictator, an autocrat, a wannabe king," he added. "It really shouldn't be that hard. If these folks would just focus for a minute on what they learned in ethics courses in law school."
