   NEW: John #Eastman said his disbarment proceedings have not dissuaded but "strengthened" his belief the 2020 election was marred by fraud — and he said he never considered his #Jan6 rally speech might inflame the crowd. #legal

     If Eastman were a criminal defendant, statements of this nature would be a sign he's angling for an insanity defense.

     As is, this statement calls into question his grasp on reality, and therefore his mental competence to practice law, which under California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1(b) includes "mental, emotional, and physical ability."
