Trump lawyers withdraw from Arizona lawsuit

[RandySF]

The largest law firm representing the Trump campaign or its allies in post-election litigation challenging votes in key states has withdrawn from an election lawsuit in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Associate Presiding Civil Judge Daniel Kiley on Tuesday granted Snell & Wilmer’s request to withdraw as counsel of record for the Republican National Committee. The RNC had teamed-up with the Trump campaign and the Arizona Republican Party in the case, which alleges that Maricopa County incorrectly rejected some votes cast on Election Day.

3. Good. They are lucky that they weren't held in contempt of Court.

The lawsuit they filed was frivolous on its face.

4. Is it the lawyers for the RNC or Trumps lawyers who withdrew?

There is a difference. If the RNC are abandoning Trump.

5. The whole strategy is ridiculous

Challenge some ludicrously small number of ballots (a few hundred) and use them to claim that the whole state or class of ballots (mail-in, early vote) is flawed and should be thrown out. It really feels like a seventh grade debate jerk's idea of law. And the kicker, of course, is that even the few hundred aren't flawed at all! The whole thing is laughable.

6. The first have dared to jump ship. May the rest of the rats follow. nt
