An attorney representing President Trump in one of his dozens of lawsuits challenging the 2020 election moved to withdraw from the case on Thursday, telling a federal court that the president used him to "perpetrate a crime."

Philadelphia-based attorney Jerome Marcus asked the court to allow him to withdraw, citing concerns over Pennsylvania's professional conduct standards for lawyers.

Marcus wrote that "the client has used the lawyer's services to perpetrate a crime and the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant and with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement."

Marcus did not immediately respond to a message seeking further comment.

1. I would not put my faith in a lawyer who takes so long to recognize this.

(If I believed his sudden ephiphany.)

3. Yeah, he *just now* figured this out?

Not too bright

2. Watch this story.

Marcus is one of the so called go to Attorney's for Political Action.

4. Claiming ignorance at first? Believed it was a just cause?

Didn't know the president was a con man?

Bullshit! He knew and he did it and now he is trying to save his sinking career. If I was the court, I would deny him to withdraw and make him wear this around his neck.

13. It would be great if this attorney's action would wake some of his colleagues up and spur

them to do the same.

...everyone remind me to not get Marcus.
Pretty slow on the uptake.
