Lawyers at firms representing the Trump campaign are worried that their work is not based on evidence and may undermine US democracy, The New York Times reported.

Unnamed lawyers at Jones Day told the Times that they consider their colleagues' work to be intended to reduce public confidence in the results of the election, which President Donald Trump lost.

Likewise, some of Porter Wright Morris & Arthur voiced concern in internal meetings, and at least one quit, per the Times.

Trump has baselessly claimed there was widespread fraud in the election, and has launched more than a dozen legal challenges while refusing to concede.

Lawyers at the firms representing President Donald Trump as he challenges the US presidential election results are worried that their work is undermining democracy, according to The New York Times.

Unnamed staffers told the newspaper that they consider the cases not to be based on evidence, and worry about their implications for the nation.

The times spoke to sources at two firms — Jones Day, and Porter Wright Morris & Arthur — which are engaged in some of the numerous challenges to the election results.

Uh, detecting and eliminating fraud “may” hurt election systems?

And these clowns are lawyers?

Too bad they never took a challenging course in college.

hmmm.... obviously these are not lawyers working on the case because if they were they would adhere to client lawyer confidentiality.

Sounds like these firms need to get their houses in order, fire some attorneys and staff.

Anything from MSN “News” is just a bunch of blah-blah-blah. The firm wouldn’t have taken the case if doing so would be “circumventing the law”.

This story lacks any credibility what so ever. Anonymous sources and a provably corrupt media outlet do not add up to credible news. In fact, just the opposite.

Typical MSN garbage... and that shows with thier insertion in the middle of their "unnamed" semi-quotes, is their own

Trump has baselessly claimed there was widespread fraud in the election, and has launched more than a dozen legal challenges while refusing to concede.

This isn't something stated by anyone in the law firm - it is the MSN writer's opinion, inserted as if it were part of the "Facts" from the law firm. There is no integrity in the media.

How curious! I talked with the same anonymous sources, and I was told they could not wait to publish their findings of extensive fraud, so as to restore faith back into our elections!

I meant “undermining”, heh heh. Then again, I so rarely get a chance to use the word “circumventing” in a sentence.

Unnamed Biden Supporting lawyers at Jones Day told the Times that they consider their patriotic colleagues' work to be intended to reduce public confidence in the results of the election, which President Donald Trump supposedly lost.

Fixed it.

More propaganda. I’ll bet Trump called them “suckers and losers” too.
