Pascrell legal complaints seek to disbar Giuliani, 22 Trump attorneys

https://newjerseyglobe.com/congress/...ump-attorneys/

Quote:
“We live together in extraordinary and increasingly dangerous national circumstances. At present, our sitting President has refused to accept the outcome of our national election and is attacking the integrity of our electoral system to keep himself in power,” the congressman said. “The pattern of behavior by these individuals to effectuate Mr. Trump’s sinister arson is a danger not just to our legal system but is also unprecedented in our national life.”

I represented George W. Bush in 2000. Michigan must certify for Biden

Quote:
As a longtime Republican election lawyer, I have sympathy for what the Republican members of the Board of State Canvassers are going through. President Donald Trump and his allies are putting enormous pressure on them to do something clearly contrary to their duties.

They must resist that pressure and certify Michigan's election results Monday.

Refusing to certify legitimate votes is a felony

https://www.freep.com/story/opinion/...es/6388235002/

Quote:
The people have spoken. They delivered Joe Biden a decisive electoral victory, including a 150,000-vote margin in Michigan. Yet Republican Party officials have asked the Michigan Board of State Canvassers to delay certification on Monday. These calls follow last week’s tumultuous Wayne County meeting where, after improper interference by a candidate, Republican appointees tried to recant their decision to certify.

This is unduly chaotic, but we shouldn’t bet against democracy. A canvassing board may not legally refuse to certify an election where no legitimate evidence undermines valid ballots. Michigan courts have repeatedly rejected wild claims of election fraud or improprieties as “incorrect and not credible.” The votes, at this point, speak for themselves. Should a member of the state canvassing board seek to misuse their authority, that obstruction won’t actually deliver a different result. First, understand what state canvassers do: certification just involves adding county tallies and declaring a winner. Michigan law provides a separate space to review the election process — a post-election audit, which does not delay or stop certification. The canvassers have one job. State courts can step in to make sure it gets done. Canvassers failing to do their duty may delay the inevitable for a moment — but not much more than that.

... the incumbent president must recognize this election results,m and all lawsuits must conclude. Only after that will the results be officially finalized. Obviously this hasn't happened yet.
This statement from the Kremlin, the Kremlin! Donny boy, your BFF Putin has no more use for you.

Secret Service members asked about protecting soon-to-be-former president Trump full time in Florida: Sources
Agents in Trump's detail have been asked about relocating to West Palm Beach.

...for a few months, at best... After that, they won't be needing to protect his obese ass in a NY State prison, along with his entire crime family.

It can be read two ways. The other way says the incumbent has some kind of veto power on the results, and nothing is final until he says so.

Putin being a little cute with the wording there.
