How our opposition defines conservatives, part 2

Former attorney for President Trump de-banked

“Rather despicable:” John Eastman speaks out after the Bank of America and USAA shut down his accounts

The Daily Caller provides one more article on the theme started yesterday: liberal corporations targeting conservatives and Christians and violating anti-discrimination laws in the name of “equity.”

One of the left’s biggest political targets recently found himself “de-banked” with no warning and little avenue for recourse, the Daily Caller has learned.

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.

Eastman said he had switched most of his banking from Bank of America to USAA, a company that provides financial services exclusively to military veterans as well as their families, due to the former’s “wokeness.” Both corporations are federally insured, and Bank of America was bailed out with billions of dollars in taxpayer funds during the global financial crisis.

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.

“And then two months later, we get a similar letter from USAA saying that they’ve decided that they’re going to close your account and they did like three weeks later,” Eastman told the Daily Caller. “And so that was where all of our automatic payments were coming out of, all our automatic deposits. So it was a real pain to shift everything. We had to get a new bank account opened and shift everything over.”

Eastman was notified of his USAA accounts being closed on Nov. 20, 2023. A few weeks prior, a California judge made a preliminary decision saying that Eastman was culpable of ethics violations in a state bar disciplinary case, CNN reported.

USAA claimed in its letter that it was “exercising its right to no longer do banking business” with Eastman per its “Depository Agreement.”

This is no longer just against gun shops and gun manufacturers; however, it still forces the object out of the system.

These instances of removing Eastman from his insurance and banking removes him from the system of prepared protection and, short of his stuffing his matress with cash, removes his ability to participate in the market. Further, it ignores signed agreements between Eastman and these companies and uses the flimsiest of excuses to void those agreements.

Therefore, for these instances of de-banking to stand, they must be accepted by the community at large. If the largest part of our society stands on its hind legs and refuses to go along, then this will fall back on these liberal companies. Otherwise, they will succeed at their ploy to rob Eastman of the agreed services due just to his political stand.

And, if that happens — especially on a larger scale, America may be beyond recovery from Joe Biden and liberalism.
