Attorney Marc Elias, who has closely followed Trump’s lawsuits in multiple states, tweeted that a lawyer for the Trump campaign in the Pennslyvania lawsuit that is seeking to object to the election results filed a motion to withdraw, stating, in part, that “the client has used the lawyer’s services to perpetrate a crime.” Furthermore, it states that “the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant.” And we’re not sure what crime the attorney is referring to, but apparently, Donald Trump has been criming around again.

Apparently, Donald Trump hasn’t learned his lesson following his impeachment. Susan Collins must be very concerned. Trump has gone from attempting a quid pro quo to inciting a mob to invade the U.S. Capitol, resulting in deaths, injuries, vandalism, and an appalled nation. Who would have ever thought that by giving a raging narcissist that cheated on all of his wives, filed for bankruptcy, and is a serial liar and cheat, the keys to the White House would result in mayhem and chaos? Trump supporters and his Republican enablers gave a man who acts more like a mob boss than a president — a man that has lashed out at minorities and women while dividing the country into tiny bits — the most powerful position in the world.
The grossly incompetent and unhinged president was trying to do something so “repugnant” that his campaign’s attorney wants out. Perhaps Mr. Marcus didn’t want to face disbarment after some of Trump’s other attorneys have fallen under scrutiny. And perhaps, he now realizes that everything Trump touches dies. Publicly and shamefully.
