Exactly. I would bet that due to a complete lack of credible evidence none of them will make it as far as the Supreme Court. Even if they somehow did I would expect that the judges will be completely impartial including the ones that Trump thinks he can influence. It is game over for Trump (for this election anyway).

I wouldn't be so sure there, at least 1 of trump appointees to the supreme Court has already outright intentionally lied about the law and elections leading in the run up to it (no gold stars for guessing it was kavanaugh, because that was just too obvious).

It's for optics more than anything, I reckon. Win a small case about a small number of ballots so Trump can claim HIGE WIN IN THE COURTS ABOUT VOTER FRAUD and call into question more of the results.

Yeah a huge win on technicalities doesn't sound so great.. Sad sad man.

Exactly my thoughts. Those states were won on razor thin margins four years ago and the same is true in 2020. That’s why they’re called swing states, Trump. You weren’t complaining in 2016!

As Muhammad Ali said "It's not over till you've punched the last punch you have"

I wonder how Muhammad Ali would have felt being associated with Voight's message. Not well I'd imagine.

The amount of crying and salty tears from the Trump side is something to behold. They spent 4 years laughing at other people about their crying and "f*** your feelings". Absolutely love it!

So they would claim in court that they expected Donald Trump would actually pay them for their services....is that a new type of insanity plea?

"In summary, the Trump campaign appeared in court and they neither identified nor alleged any systemic fraud. The case focuses on 592 ballots that have not been counted in a county where the president is behind by 130,000 votes, and in a state where the president is behind by 46,000 votes."

Man Charged for Threatening Sen. Schumer Allegedly Parroted Trump’s Baseless ‘Stolen’ Election Rhetoric

The day after Joe Biden clinched the title President-elect, a Staten Island sex offender named Brian Maiorana readied for war on the internet—full of rage and believing lies that a shadowy cabal somehow changed the results of the election, FBI agents said.

“Soap Box, Ballot Box…that was fraudulently stolen from us,” Maiorana is quoted as posting on Sunday, the day when President Donald Trump amplified baseless claims of mass U.S. voter fraud. “Now Cartridge Box.”

The FBI agent who signed Maiorana’s charge sheet said: “I believe the reference ‘Cartridge Box’ refers to ammunition, or ‘cartridges.'”

Trump’s name is not mentioned in the complaint, but his conspiratorial theories are evident in Maiorana’s rhetoric.

Grim and hateful reading, the FBI affidavit in support of Maiorana’s arrest quoted the violent musings allegedly posted by the defendant on various social media accounts—dating back to a post in mid-October calling for “pipe bombs need to be thrown into these mobs of potentially non violent violent protesters.”

Prosecutors say the missives grew more bloody, unhinged and conspiratorial after Election Day, beginning with a Nov. 5 post stating, “The carnage needs to come in the form of extermination of anyone that claims to be democrat…as well as their family members.”

In an apparent reference to the Democrats’ Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Maiorana seethed: “As the Jew Senator from Jew York said nothing is off the table.”

While the criminal complaint does not mention Schumer by name, the reference to the Senate Minority Leader — and possible future Senate Majority Leader — is unmistakable. Schumer said: “Nothing is off the table,” in response to the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court back in September. Democrats failed to stop Barrett’s nomination, and Maiorana allegedly referenced a white supremacist novel while nursing racist fantasies and resentments.

“The Turner Diaries must come to life,” Maiorana wrote. “We blow up the FBI building for real. All the alphabet agencies assassination will become the new normal now…that the electoral process is finished.”

A white supremacist Bible, “The Turner Diaries” depicts the U.S. government’s overthrow, sparking a nuclear war, and race war leading to the extermination of non-whites. It inspired Oklahoma City terrorist Timothy McVeigh.

“The Department of Justice will not stand idly by when people like the defendant allegedly threaten to kill elected officials, lawful protesters and law enforcement simply because of animus towards the outcome of an election,” the Eastern District of New York’s Acting U.S. Attorney Seth DuCharme said in a statement. “Americans have a constitutional right to voice their opinions, but this office will not tolerate violence or threats of violence used to intimidate others with whom they disagree.”

The FBI says that it found a semiautomatic firearm and ammunition in his apartment. Maiorana, 54, faces up to five years in prison if convicted. He was detained on Tuesday evening following an initial appearance in Brooklyn Federal Court.

But that this is the thing. The Trump campaign put out a call for lawyers willing to work for free. and even if they are not working for free there is no guarantee they will actually get paid.

It's a such a blatant fúcking swindle. One last desperate cash grab with the immunity his presidency gives him.

Lawyers get paid for this farce and as per the fine print, Trump pockets a portion of the donations towards his "righteous battle."

Did you ever see an episode of Judge Judy where the plaintiff's case is so thin, that JJ just looks enraged that this person even had the neck to show up and pretty much says to the plaintiff, "Get the f**k out of my face. Case dismissed."?

Yeah.

Lads he's done some absolutely bizarre stuff today.

Stefan Simanowitz (@StefSimanowitz) Tweeted:
Over the last 24 hours #Trump has sacked the entire Pentagon civilian leadership

Mark Esper was fired by tweet on Monday & replaced with Miller

*Over the last 72 hours, Trump has also sacked the heads of the agencies that oversee nuclear weapons & electricity/natural gas supply.* https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1326302670253121537?s=20

Axios (@axios) Tweeted:
Republicans are hinting at an extreme last-chance way for Trump to cling to power.

In this long-shot scenario, Trump could try to block key secretaries of state from certifying results, allowing state legislatures to appoint pro-Trump electors. https://t.co/RbBpOFLZsf https://twitter.com/axios/status/1326520461560336384?s=20

I would think the lawyers working for Trump are falling in to 3 categories.

Genuinely buy in to his BS that this was stolen.
Feel that it is important to dot every i and cross every t.
Think that it will help them locally, or in their own career aspirations to have fought the good Republican fight.

I suspect none of them are doing so expecting to be paid, or if they are, questions need to be asked about how they passed the bar.

“This will help build confidence. It will be an audit, a recount and a recanvass all at once.”

It's also a shot to nothing with very high profile cases

Any skill that they can show can be attributed to any tiny victory. Could be very good for them professionally.

They are doing a recount. Given the tight margin that was always on the cards. Not going to change anything but good to get it done to further dispel any of the Trump nonsense.

That's probably the right thing to do, and better they called for it than Trump mandating it.
