on wednesday, a judge in california ruled that john eastman, the architect of trump's fake elector scheme should be disbarred for his role in pushing the big lie. trump lawyers have all pleaded guilty in the ongoing criminal case in georgia for their roles in that scheme. 'sman along with trump legals jeffrey clark and rudy giuliani is still awaiting trial in that case. meanwhile, jeffrey clark is facing discipline from the dc bar. rudy giuliani has had his law license suspended and giuliani is also on the hook for $148 million in damages that he owes two georgia poll workers he defamed. rudy giuliani and sydney powell are facing defamation lawsuits from the voting machine companies dominion and smartmatic. so it is seemingly taking forever but the people involved in this are being held accountable for pushing the big lie. recent polling from the washington post shows that more americans now believe the 2020 election was rigged than they did in 2021. i should stop to say here, as clearly as possible, there is absolutely no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 22 election. but even if
