Trump lawyers suffer embarrassing rebukes from judges over voter fraud claims
Washington Post ^ | Nov 11, 2020 | Aaron Blake

By now, it’s well-established that most of the arguments put forward by President Trump’s reelection campaign in its challenge of the results of the 2020 election are baseless and highly speculative. Even Trump allies, as The Washington Post reported late Tuesday, acknowledge the apparent futility of the effort. Others have reasoned that there’s no harm in going through the motions, with one anonymous GOP official asking, “What’s the downside for humoring him” for a little while? ....

The most famous scene came in Pennsylvania, where a Trump lawyer strained to avoid acknowledging that their people were, in fact, allowed to observe the vote-counting process in Philadelphia:

At the city’s federal courthouse on Thursday evening, attorneys for Trump asked a judge to issue an emergency order to stop the count, alleging that all Republican observers had been barred.

Under sharp questioning from Judge Paul S. Diamond, however, they conceded that Trump in fact had “a nonzero number of people in the room,” leaving Diamond audibly exasperated.

“I’m sorry, then what’s your problem?” asked Diamond, who was appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush. Denying Trump’s request, Diamond struck a deal for 60 observers from each party to be allowed inside.

Trump lost one suite, therefore all baseless. Of course no mention on the SCOTUS order.

Nonzero: in Dim logic if 1 Republican is watching 100 Dims use common core math to count votes nothing shady can happen.

Yes, and then the republicans weren’t allowed inside!

Well, they told us the postal worker recanted, but in fact he did not, seems to be par for the Daily Bezos.

The only one who will be embarrassed will be Joe Biden.

And when he finally loses the election, we will laugh at him and every Democrat.

“They aren’t “judges”. They are Obama butt boys”

From the article: “ asked Diamond, who was appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush. “

Of course that might be the same thing.
