Trump stuck with non election lawyer in PA as judge refuses to delay tomorrow's hearing.

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: Don’t 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? yellowcanine Nov 2020 #2
Probably not on the PA Bar. NT Happy Hoosier Nov 2020 #6
And soon probably not on any state's Bar. yellowcanine Nov 2020 #7

Does tRump's legal team suck, or what? Blue Owl Nov 2020 #4
I use the term "legal team" loosely as apparently Rudy is in charge. yellowcanine Nov 2020 #5

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