TFG has second/third/fourth tier lawyers because they are the only attorneys who will work for TFG. This losing streak makes me smile. TFG is filing crap motions that are easy for the courts to reject

Team Trump begged the Georgia Supreme Court to derail a looming indictment from the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, claiming that the ongoing investigation risked violating his “fundamental constitutional rights.” This failed spectacularly: The justices were unanimous in smacking down the case.
Roughly 48 hours later, the former president’s legal team suffered another setback. Reuters reported:
A federal judge on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump’s request for a new trial after a jury found the former U.S. president liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll and awarded her $5 million. In a 59-page decision, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan also dismissed Trump’s arguments for reducing damages to less than $1 million.
Making matters worse, while the federal judge was rejecting Team Trump’s request, the jurist also wrote, “The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’”....
That was this morning. This afternoon, Trump’s quest to move his Manhattan hush money prosecution from state to federal court, which my MSNBC colleague Jordan Rubin recently explored in detail, flopped. CNBC reported:
Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday lost a bid to transfer to federal court his New York state court case related to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein’s decision denying that effort keeps Trump on track to go to trial on March 25 in Manhattan Supreme Court in the case.
....It’s tempting to think this losing streak reflects bad luck, but fortune has nothing to do with it: Team Trump keeps losing because they’re filing bad cases backed by bad arguments.
TFG has both second/third tier lawyers who keep on filing bogus/frivolous motions which the courts have an easy time overruling.
