Big Law Firms Bailing on Trump

Maybe these big law firms are just worried that Trump will stiff them when they don't deliver him the election.  Or, possibly these lawyers have more integrity than Trump's Republican enablers.

Major law firms helping the lame-duck president in this effort have been discovering there is a cost to representing departing President Trump’s last-gasp legal crusades to overturn electoral results that made him a one-term, impeached president. The day after the New York Times reported that one Porter Wright lawyer called it quits and another major firm, Jones Day, had been coping with dissension in the ranks of partners queasy about contributing to a legal offensive that they feared would weaken election integrity in the United States.

Part of the problem for Trump is the fact that although their clients may be comfortable lying under oath, lawyers can't stay lawyers if they start telling lies in court.
