One of the things President Trump repeatedly says that to me is cringeworthy is, “In reality, they’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.” The fact that the statement is cringeworthy to me doesn’t mean it is not true. Aside from the injustice currently happening in New York, the injustice being done to John Eastman is a disgrace to America.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, The Daily Caller<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n One of the left\u2019s biggest political targets recently found himself \u201cde-banked\u201d with no warning and little avenue for recourse, the Daily Caller has learned.<\/strong><\/p>\n John Eastman, once an attorney for former President Donald Trump, was de-banked twice in the span of several months by two prominent financial institutions, Bank of America and USAA, he told the Daily Caller. His accounts were closed as he faced substantial backlash for his work advising Trump around the time of the 2020 election.<\/strong><\/p>\n Eastman said he had switched most of his banking from Bank of America to\u00a0USAA,<\/a>\u00a0a company that provides financial services exclusively to military veterans as well as their families, due to the former\u2019s \u201cwokeness.\u201d Both corporations are federally insured, and Bank of America was bailed out with billions of dollars in taxpayer funds during the global financial crisis.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bank of America alerted Eastman in September of 2023 that it would be closing his accounts, a letter obtained by the Daily Caller shows. Shortly thereafter, USAA notified Eastman in November that his two bank accounts with the company would be closed, a separate letter shows.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n A number of red state attorneys general \u2014 including from Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana and Montana \u2014 voiced their opposition to the de-banking trend after the Daily Caller laid out Eastman\u2019s situation. Many of the state AGs pointed to politics as a potential reason Eastman\u2019s accounts were closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNo American should lose their bank account because banks want to play politics. Time and time again, we are seeing banks target and cut off those they disagree with and refuse to explain why. That is unacceptable,\u201d Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird told the Daily Caller.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDe-banking contradicts the very character of our nation, as elites wrongfully use their power to punish their political opponents. Here\u2019s the bottom line: If financial institutions are punishing consumers who don\u2019t fall in line with their political beliefs, that could constitute a violation of both state and federal law,\u201d Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey told the Daily Caller.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, Eastman is being prosecuted by Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney\u00a0Fani Willis<\/a>\u00a0as part of her case against Trump. On March 27, a\u00a0California judge ruled<\/a>\u00a0that Eastman should be disbarred due to his legal advice in the wake of the 2020 election. The case will now move to the state Supreme Court for a final decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI just think this is a terrible trend. I think it\u2019s harmful. I think it prohibits people from bringing their values and the public square into the marketplace. And they have every constitutional right under the Free Exercise clause to bring their values into the marketplace. And I think this is also I think this is something we\u2019re just gonna have to fight against,\u201d Sam Brownback, an attorney and former U.S. Senator whose Christian non-profit was de-banked, told the Daily Caller.<\/strong><\/p>\n Our current government is enacting the Chinese Communist social credit system right before our eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the things President Trump repeatedly says that to me is cringeworthy is, “In reality, they’re not after me, they’re after you.
