https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/trump-campaign-loses-in-court-again-and-must-show-evidence-of-fraud-on-tuesday-report/So Trump's legal team in PA quit last week and they just got around to substituting a new guy today the night before a hearing which was scheduled 1 week ago. So new guy, whose specialty is not election law, asks the judge for a delay. The judge was not amused.
Pro-tip: Dont make a motion as a new substitute attorney the night before a scheduled emergency time sensitive election hearing to postpone that hearing, as the Trump lawyers just did in PA. It will be denied, Hasen tweeted.
The new lawyer being subbed in the night before this key hearing in the Pennsylvania election case is not an election lawyer and has been a lawyer on this case for just a couple of hours, he continued. Like bringing in a minor leaguer to play in a World Series game with no notice or warm-up.

One has to wonder. Why didn't Rudy step up? He plays an election lawyer on TeeVee, right?

"Team" and "Rudy" do not belong in the same thought.
