The lead attorney in this case, Greg Teufel, specializes in "commercial litigation, including breach of contract disputes... construction litigation, employee benefits matters, employment disputes, automobile dealership termination disputes and product liability claims" — PolitiTweet.org

This is very weak and no one should confuse this statement with courage. The election was not close and Trump's legal challenges are frivolous. The appropriate thing to say is "Joe Biden is President-election." Anything else is just coddling Trump at the expense of democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

The lawyers involved in these lawsuits should be sanctioned. It's the same bogus argument filed again and again and again. It's an abuse of the courts. — PolitiTweet.org

If you are involved in a non-profit that can't run ads on Facebook for Giving Tuesday because of Facebook's post-election ban on ads concerning "political and social issues" please contact me. DMs open, email in bio. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a less serious matter but it's ridiculous that Trump DRIVES HIS GOLF CART ONTO THE GREEN. This would get you kicked off of any golf course in America that you don't own. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone is waiting on Trump to "concede" but he has already stopped any pretense of fulfilling the responsibilities of the presidency. He hasn't shown up to his own COVID task-force in months, skipping an international event today — PolitiTweet.org

There are CASINOS and BOWLING ALLEYS and and MOVIE THEATERS and RESTAURANTS open all around the country. The thing people seem most willing to close is K-12 schools, which don’t seem to be a particularly significant contributor to the spread. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a systemic failure of leadership across all levels of government. We need some moderate restrictions on indoor group activities for a few months and we can save a lot of lives. But instead we are just going to let people die. — PolitiTweet.org

The White House is attacking CNN’s Kaitlan Collins as a liberal activist Before working at CNN Collins was a reporter for THE DAILY CALLER — PolitiTweet.org

"The Governor’s 111 daily briefings worked so well because he effectively created television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure" Seriously, WTF Thousands of people died. Thousands of people are still dying. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve been at war in Afghanistan for nearly 20 years and people are STILL objecting to withdrawal on the grounds that it shouldn’t be “rushed” — PolitiTweet.org

Ah yes, Rudy has evidence of fraud that HE IS KEEPING SECRET. Makes perfect sense. — PolitiTweet.org

FACTS: 1. There is no credible legal challenge to the election results 2. By pretending there is a credible legal challenge, Republicans are giving Trump time to undermine confidence in the democratic process 3. Trump is using his time to burn everything down https://t.co/DKtmP4Ysev — PolitiTweet.org

Most successful legal strategies involve your lawyer, sweating profusely, quoting scenes from My Cousin Vinny to the assembled media — PolitiTweet.org

Charles Koch, who is on a book tour trying to convince everyone he's a bipartisan problem solver, just dropped another $856,638 through Americans for Prosperity Action to support David Perdue and keep Mitch McConnell in charge of the Senate https://t.co/biXfr5Q9Hd — PolitiTweet.org

5. There are no legal citations to support this kind of remedy because it is absolutely absurd Republicans are saying Trump has the right to pursue legal challenges. But these aren't legitimate legal challenges. They are an affront to the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. On the basis of this "exercise" the Trump campaign is asking the court to DECLARE TRUMP THE WINNER Not because they counted the votes and Trump got more But through a ridiculous method invented by the Trump campaign that does not involve counting votes https://t.co/7m7A15dFu9 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. But wait, how is Giuliani and his crew going to personally review 3 million envelopes? They can't. But they have a solution. They are asking for a RANDOM SELECTION of ballots. They will then use that selection to invalidate Biden ballots BY INFERENCE https://t.co/QYQT9KW6bF — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. The fundamental problem Giuliani faces is that there is absolutely no evidence of fraud. Their solution is that they've filed a motion to review 3 MILLION ENVELOPES used to return absentee ballots so that they can try to find some evidence. This is not a joke. https://t.co/2wQ5ui7WzK — PolitiTweet.org

1. There is a lot going on but everyone should really know about the brief filed in federal court by Team Giuliani for the Trump campaign in federal court last night. Among many brazen attacks on the democratic process, it manages to stand out. Let's dive in. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@DLeonhardt I agree and one thing that I don't think any poll can really account for is that people have become very self-aware on how polling shapes the narrative and the act of being polled is different from the act of voting. It's not that people lie but the two things aren't the same. — PolitiTweet.org

5. One of the board members at the briefing is also the Chairman of Govini, a company that specializes in "machine learning and data science for national security clients." He has called for a massive increase in military spending on AI https://t.co/Ruflvw2HW7 — PolitiTweet.org

4. Raytheon spends a lot of money to influence the federal government. In the 3rd quarter of 2020, Raytheon’s lobbying expenditures exceeded $2.85 million It spent $2.1M on in house lobbying and 680K in payments to 19 different lobbying firms https://t.co/Ruflvw2HW7 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. Shortly before the election Raytheon CEO Gregory Hayes said it was "ridiculous" to think that Biden would reduce military spending He called for increased military spending to regain the military's technological edge over China https://t.co/Ruflvw2HW7 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. The policy prohibits participants from involvement "in any particular Transition matter that... may directly conflict with a financial interest of the member" So why were Raytheon board members involved? The transition didn't respond to Qs https://t.co/Ruflvw2HW7 — PolitiTweet.org
