Another shake-up on Trump campaign legal team
Source: Politico
The game of musical chairs among lawyers pursuing President Donald Trumps court challenges to the election results continued on Monday evening, as the campaign tried to replace the entire team handling the campaigns federal lawsuit seeking to block certification of Pennsylvanias results.
A court filing said Marc Scaringi, a Harrisburg, Pa., attorney, conservative talk radio host and former Senate candidate, was taking over the case. The move came just hours before a potentially make-or-break court hearing scheduled for Tuesday afternoon on motions by Pennsylvania state and county officials to dismiss the lawsuit.
The legal escapade devolved into farce on Monday night as the federal judge rejected a move by the campaign to postpone that key hearing.
Less than 90 minutes after the outgoing attorneys for the campaign assured U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Brann that Scaringi is aware of the schedule set by the Court in this matter and will be prepared to proceed according to that schedule, Scaringi asked the judge to put off the session, arguing that he was inadequately prepared.

It's a coordinated attempt by the Trump-hating MSM to prevent the USSC and state legislatures from discovering, stopping and reversing the effects of the election fraud committed by the Democrat/Left/Communist Party in order to prevent widespread riots by the Party's whacked-out who have now been told that Biden won.
It doesn't matter that the multiple criminal investigations have not been concluded, that none of the "battleground states" have certified their results, and that not a single electoral college vote has been cast for either candidate ... this is simply psychological warfare which I am confident the Trump team fully anticipated and will respond quickly.

Folks were misled into thinking the Court denied certiorari by a story that merely said the Court didnt decide today.

The new attorney, just 10 days ago. That's what you get when you hire a talk show host as an attorney. Broadcast opinions that show the waste of time your case is.
