    Default “Trump lawyers withdraw from key Pennsylvania case challenging vote count”

    “The law firm leading President Donald Trump’s legal effort to challenge the results of Pennsylvania’s election abruptly withdrew from his campaign’s marquee case late Thursday.”

    “Lawyers from Columbus, Ohio-based Porter Wright Morris & Arthur offered no explanation for their departure from a federal lawsuit filed Monday in Williamsport that asked a judge to block Pennsylvania from certifying its election results.”

    “Porter Wright’s representation of Trump has made it a target for criticism from its own lawyers in recent days.”

    https://www.inquirer.com/news/pennsy...-20201113.html

    Tough day yesterday for the Trump team, first Trump’s own Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency comes out and labels the election the “most secure in history” (https://apnews.com/article/election-...3bbf42861057a5), and here we have Trump’s top lawyers in Pennsylvania walking off the case

    This must indicate just how strong this law firm believed Trumps legal action to be.

    They certainly withdrew because they saw the pummeling that counsel was taking in these other lawsuits. You can't lie in court. And the judge will hold your feet to the fire. No reputable law firm is interested in dealing with that.

    Even his own Lawyers are bailing on him. This just gets better and better. I never dreamed Trump dragging this out so long would be so much fun.

    Maybe these law firms realize that they're just whipping a dead horse, and also Trump is well known for stiffing law firms.

    Voters need to remember the frivolity with which Trump has treated a sacred American process.

    I'm going to go with something more mundane. I bet they withdrew because they realized that they were going to throw a lot of billable hours at the losing cause -- and not get paid by the #LOSER45 campaign.

    One would think they would be proud to represent DJT, instead it has been an embarrassment
