Trump lawyers suffer embarrassing rebukes from judges over voter fraud claims

By now, it’s well-established that most of the arguments put forward by President Trump’s reelection campaign in its challenge of the results of the 2020 election are baseless and highly speculative. Even Trump allies, as The Washington Post reported late Tuesday, acknowledge the apparent futility of the effort. Others have reasoned that there’s no harm in going through the motions, with one anonymous GOP official asking, “What’s the downside for humoring him” for a little while?

But as scenes in courtrooms nationwide in recent days have shown, there is indeed a downside for those tasked with pursuing these claims. Repeatedly now, they have been rebuked by judges for how thin their arguments have been.

The common thread running through all of these is that Trump’s lawyers are regularly offering a significantly more watered-down version of Trump’s claims about rampant voter fraud — because they, unlike Trump, have to substantiate their claims. And as these exchanges show, it’s a rather thankless task that can quickly land them on a judge’s bad side.

So this is all about 'humoring him'???

Every ounce of it.

Thank you for posting this.

5. I love seeing them dragged. Soon they'll be stuffed too

6. This has truly become a gross version of The Emperor's New Clothes...

except there is no 'child' in this nauseating administration with the backbone to call out 'Emperor' trump. Cowardice at all levels.

7. The boundless ego of Needy Amin must be soothed

Why that is, I don't know, but the number of folks willing to turn themselves into dignity wraiths for Trump is staggering. I'm not talking about delusional Fox addicts or low-information knuckleheads that Trump loves so much. I'm talking about successful professionals, people who know what they're doing, and they're still willing to set their careers on fire to insulate Trump from reality.

8. "Nonzero number of people" is a classic.

10. It would be great if we later find out that Trump didn't pay any of them
