'Not Using the Most Well-Noted Election Lawyers'President Donald Trump's former Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said he is "concerned" about the decision to have Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer and the former mayor of New York City, lead the lawsuit to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania.
Giuliani was brought on by the Trump campaign to lead the charge in Pennsylvania, as the president continues to baselessly claim that he lost the presidential election due to widespread voter fraud. U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann appeared to be highly skeptical of Giuliani's claims during a five-hour hearing on Tuesday that a "Mafia-like" group of Democratic leaders rigged the election against Trump.
Speaking to Fox Business on Wednesday, Mulvaney argued that it was "important" to pursue the legal challenges but questioned the decision to bring Giuliani on as legal counsel.
"I'm a little concerned about the use of Rudy Giuliani. It strikes me that this is the most important lawsuit in the history of the country. And they're not using the most well-noted election lawyers," Mulvaney, who now serves as the U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland, said.

Most important lawsuit in the history of the country? You need to get over yourself Mick.
And as for Rudy my guess is most attorneys recognize there is no case here.

The real lawyers that want to remain lawyers have all run from this.
Not too sure where they plan to go after the Rudy thing doesn't pan out for them...the Three Stooges are all dead, but they can probably find someone willing to take their case that isn't currently institutionalized.

to have Rudy working his ass off to fix the broken parts. I hope Trump is paying Rudy the $20K per day and not screwing him out of it.
