'Purely outlandish stuff': Trump's legal machine grinds to a halt

A Michigan lawyer for Donald Trump’s campaign filed a case in the wrong court. Lawsuits in Arizona and Nevada were dropped. A Georgia challenge was quickly rejected for lack of evidence. His Pennsylvania legal team just threw in the towel.

The president’s legal machine — the one papering swing states with lawsuits and affidavits in support of Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud — is slowly grinding to a halt after suffering a slew of legal defeats and setbacks.

In the effort to stop Joe Biden’s victory from being certified, so many lawsuits have been filed in so many state and federal courts that no one has an exact number. But one thing is certain: the Trump campaign has an almost perfect record, having won only one case and lost at least a dozen.

Along the way, Trump lawyers have abruptly dropped core claims, been admonished in court for lack of candor and even been forced to admit they had no evidence of fraud, while their client inaccurately rails to the contrary on Twitter.

5. I doubt Trump ever thought he would win.

He quickly set up a new PAC and then started soliciting donors for his”legal” fund. Most of the money goes to the PSC, not legal expenses. The longer he can keep alive the ruse of voter fraud by refusing to concede, the more money he gets from his gullible supporters. With Trump, it’s always the con job. His feelings may be hurt, but it’s the grift he’s trying to keep alive for as long as possible.

6. The court system, as it turns out, aren't interested in Trump fever dreams

of fraud. He is mentally incapable of believing he lost, but the court system, even the Republican judges, is telling him to take a hike. He has nothing. "I can't lose! I am King Donald Trump the Perfect! It is impossible!" is not a valid reason to overturn election results.
