Contrary to the common assumption that attorneys actively help their clients to lie, attorneys are under a strict, bright line ethical prohibition against putting false testimony and evidence before a court. Granting that there are more than a few attorneys who go just that, most of them do not and will withdraw from a case if they learn that a client has engaged in or intends to engage in perjury. That is the most likely reason as to why Fulton County’s attorneys filed the motion to withdraw.

I am glad you included that line because I have yet to meet a lawyer who gives a serious f**k about ethics. And the closer they get to politics the less they care.
