Is Trump Using Prison Inmates As Lawyers?

On a daily basis, Trump claims that his legal team will be presenting evidence of massive, coordinated voter fraud.  His most ardent supporters are suggesting that he call out the military and under armed supervision redo the presidential election.  You would think that with the stakes so high that Trump's legal team would be commensurate with the gravity of the situation.  You would be wrong.  His legal gang is so bad that it almost seems they aren't really trying to forward potentially successful litigation.

Reuters crime and justice reporter Brad Heath commented on what he called an “amazing pattern” of mistakes by Powell’s team.

“Just an amazing pattern of lawyers showing up with what they say are the most important cases ever filed and botching the basics,” Heath tweeted on Wednesday. “Even the President’s lawyers screwed up the everyday rules for suing people.”

“These are the mistakes you see when prisoners represent themselves,” the reporter added.

Trump is not in this to overturn the election, he is in this to keep collecting contributions from his MAGA minions.  Money that goes directly to Trump, not to his election related legal actions.  Clearly, those actions can't be very expensive considering the level of incompetence shown by his legal team as they have lost something like 40 of 41 cases they have put forward.
