"The scene was instantly infamous. There was Rudy Giuliani — once “America’s Mayor,” now a man ridiculed for his servility to Donald Trump — backed by a small array of American flags at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C. He was flanked by Sidney Powell, a lawyer who shopped around “wackadoodle” theories of election fraud, and Jenna Ellis, a previously obscure attorney from Colorado who dubiously called herself a constitutional lawyer.

It was mid-November 2020, and the three of them — styling themselves as an “elite strike force team” that would secure Trump’s reelection through the courts after the effort resoundingly failed at the ballot box — offered assembled reporters a litany of conspiracy theories, false claims of election fraud, and general nonsense. Eventually, makeup began to drip down Giuliani’s sweat-drenched face, prompting widespread mockery throughout the country.

It only got worse from there.

Powell’s preposterous assertions were too much even for the frequently fact-indifferent Trump campaign. Trump’s lawyers would proceed to lose miserably in court. And their unfounded claims of a stolen election contributed to an unprecedented siege of the U.S. Capitol. Trump is now on the verge of an indictment for his conduct related to Jan. 6 and his effort to overturn the 2020 election. But would there be any serious repercussions for the attorneys who served as his foot soldiers?

Slowly, if not surely, there have been modest signs of a reckoning within the legal profession.

Giuliani had his law license suspended in New York, and early this month, a disciplinary committee in Washington, D.C., recommended that he be disbarred for “frivolous” and “destructive” conduct. A federal appeals court recently upheld court sanctions against Powell for making “entirely baseless” claims and “frivolous allegations of widespread voter fraud.” And in March, Ellis was censured by a judge in Colorado for making false claims “on Twitter and to nationally televised audiences” that “undermined the American public’s confidence in the presidential election.”

The unofficial advisers to the elite strike force team have not fared much better. John Eastman, the former law professor who tried to get Vice President Mike Pence to effectively throw the election to Trump, is fighting for his law license in California, where bar officials have argued that he tried to execute a “strategy, unsupported by facts or law, to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election.” A disciplinary proceeding in Washington D.C. against former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, who tried to become acting attorney general in the final weeks of the Trump administration while proposing to throw the department’s weight behind Trump’s false claims of voter fraud, is moving forward despite his objections. Several weeks ago, Georgia lawyer Lin Wood formally retired from the practice of law in an apparent bid to avoid being disbarred.

This is to say nothing of the fact that most — if not all — of these lawyers appear to be under scrutiny by federal prosecutors at the Justice Department, as well as by local prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia."

It is almost impossible to prove voter fraud by democrats when the dems., main stream media, billionaires like Soros & Zuckerberg, Cook bros. twitter, fronting all the money that they need, don't forget what the FBI, CIA, CCP, part in it is.They are all terrified that they are going to lose their "cash cow", which is the American tax money. But Biden don't need that, he has China,Ukraine & other communist countrys to milk! And they are afraid Trump will end the constant War that goes on when the dems are in control. Maybe that is why God said, the love of money is the root of evil.

You do understand that Trump continued to be president for 2 months after the election. For 2 months he still controlled the government, had his hand selected AG in place, and had more than 70 cases in court that he lost. His top election official stated there was no fraud, and there has been no fraud found or proven after two and a half years.

There is a reason for this.

There was no fraud that was significant enough to change anything, and the majority of fraud found was attributed to the GOP side.

You can keep saying it all you want but it still won’t make your lies come true!

No lies ! just the truth.

Then either take your proof to Trump to help him stay out of jail and share it with Opp, or shut the hell up.

You will shut the hell up when your boy gets impeached or goes to jail!
