As a prominent constitutional scholar and lawyer, I have strived to ensure that my voice is heard, and respected, by the courts, by the legal community and even by government officials. I have devoted years of dedicated work, research, scholarship and advocacy in the law, which I believe has lifted my reputation to the point where my voice can make a difference as important legal matters are debated and resolved. That’s one of the reasons why the lawfare left want to silence me with their multi-pronged legal assaults against me.
But I must confess that I never imagined that my voice would be heard, and credited with making a difference, outside the legal arena and even outside the country, yet that is exactly what the New Yorker has suggested happened the other day in Poland.
You may recall that I recently gave a keynote speech in Poland to one the preeminent conservative groups in the world, CPAC, focused on growing authoritarianism in Europe. The speech was days before the presidential election, and I warned the overflow crowd of Poles that much hung in the balance for liberty and free speech. I endorsed conservative candidate Karol Nawrocki, and prayed that the Polish people “would choose wisely.”
They did. Nawrocki won in a stunning come-from-behind victory. The New Yorker story credits (blames!) my appearance as a significant factor in the election outcome.
I am so pleased that liberty and freedom have prevailed in Poland and that my voice may have been a factor. But the left in America is determined to silence my voice, and I urgently need your financial support to defend against their lawfare attacks.
Will you step forward today with a gift of $25, $50, $100 or even $250 or more?
To silence my voice, the lawfare left has engineered numerous attacks. They’ve gotten my law license in California put on inactive status as a result of a complaint one of their groups filed against me. This same group urged the Attorney General of Arizona to prosecute me, and she is doing exactly that – even though I didn’t represent President Trump in that state in 2020. I’m under indictment in Georgia as well, and was a target of the infamous Special Prosecutor Jack Smith until his case imploded.
These attacks are quite serious. They threaten to cost me my livelihood and my very freedom. Prosecutors want me to spend decades in prison for the “crime” of bringing forth challenges to the 2020 election results on behalf of President Trump.
The withering assault has also been debilitating from a financial perspective, costing me over $1.6 million in defense costs so far, with no end in sight.
My legal team has won numerous victories in court – victories that should bring an end to the lawfare assaults – but every time we win a major battle, the prosecutors spend more time and taxpayer money dragging the cases out in appeals. They hope to force me into submission to either turn against President Trump, or cut a plea deal to end their prosecutions.
I have no intention of doing either of those things, but I don’t have the luxury of being able to tap the public treasury to do battle with these leftwing prosecutorial thugs. I have to rely on good people like you to step forward with donations to my legal defense fund to keep my team in the fight.
If you are able, I humbly but urgently ask for your donation today of any amount you can afford.
It is gratifying to know that people are hearing and respecting my voice – even outside the legal arena and outside our borders. But for that to continue in the future, it is essential that I defeat the lawfare left’s vicious attempts to silence me.
My family and I thank you for whatever you can do to help me continue to speak truth to power and fight for our Constitution, and for liberty and free speech.
Sincerely,
John Eastman
