giuliani and eastman both filling the heads of a lot of people that pence had the legal right to overturn the election votes.The Pence counsel, Greg Jacob, urged an investigation into Eastman, as well as Rudy Giuliani, for work to stop the counting of electoral votes. The text cites American Bar Association rules for conduct saying that all barred lawyers "provide a client with an informed understanding of the client's legal rights and obligations and explains their practical implications." They require that "[a] lawyer shall explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions."
Jacob went on to write that when lawyers like Eastman disregard ethics they're hurting both their clients and the legal community. He went on to say Eastman and Giuliani were "using their credentials to sell a stream of snake oil to the most powerful office in the world, wrapped in the guise of a lawyer's advice."
