Trump Advisers View Legal Challenges as Futile
November 8, 2020 at 8:48 pm EST By Taegan Goddard


“Recognition is growing in Donald Trump’s inner circle that efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s victory will be futile, though some advisers have urged the president to pursue focused legal challenges,” Bloomberg reports.

“Trump has given no indication he’s preparing to concede. His closest aide, son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, has recommended the president ask courts to ensure transparency around ongoing counts of ballots in several contested states.”

"dead-enders" who have no chance at being in any other administration or campaign except Trump. Those ones will continue to indulge his delusions.

Stephen Miller? Nah. Needs to be a lawyer.

Rudy?

Probably Barr, Federalist Society, and/or some other master chef of corrupt legal schemes.

... and take their case to the Supreme Court! Let him rally “his people” and the shallow politicians that still ride on his wagon so that all of Trump Nation can feel the humiliation when Trump’s own hand picked Supreme Court Justices reject his claims of voter fraud.
Allow this to play out please, televise it on every network! Because it will be the most epic failure in our country’s political history and will end All credibility for this fraud of a man and the people that follow him once and for all.

Overturn the election, not to gin up a sense of grievance among Trump supporters, allow Trump to claim it’s still not over and keep fundraising and holding rallies to soothe his bruised ego.
