Where are the hoards of lawyers Biden has?

Is it just defense?

Where are they when hoards of repub activists are trying to intimidate vote counters?

Where are the Democratic lawyers?

The legal talent in that case was impressive. I got to meet Joe at a fundraiser at Richard Mitthoff’s condo last year Richard kicked butt in that case

Marc Elias had been involved in 30+ lawsuits for the party and won some important cases

Biden has hired 4000 (Yes 4000) attorneys to monitor & keep tabs on what they knew would be legal challenges by Trump following the election.

Like Marc Elias, we won't see them grandstanding before the cameras. They are doing what they were enlisted to do.

And why are we not seeing a determined legal or official action to protect the poll workers AND the ballots?

It looks like another case of bringing a knife to a gunfight.

We we had a ton of poll watchers out across Texas with 150 attorneys working in virtual war rooms. We were locked via zoom, link, signal and the LBJ database In most of the larger counties we had hotline to the district attorney and local task forces. We had a couple of demonstrations that the police dealth here with We now move to litigation/election contest please.

Marc Elias has been in over 30 lawsuits a few of which are still pending. We had four or five of the top Houston litigators involved in Harris County drive through voting case. The idiot representing the plaintiffs/GOP assholes was outmatched

I have been on zoom calls for lawyers got Biden with a couple hundred attorneys

I am not worried about being outlawyered by a team led by Rudy

words are spelled correctly and sound the same, but mean different things. Spelling checkers can't catch them.

I understand they are not in it for visibility, but for defending Biden against trump.

Looked up 'jump the gun'.. from track and field, not the OK Coral.
