Several Of Trump’s Attorneys Are Facing Disbarment For Trying To Overturn The 2020 Election

Proving that karma is indeed very real and hits with the force of a hurricane, several of the attorneys who participated in failed, one-term former president Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election and stage an illegal coup are now facing disbarment.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer:

A legal advocacy group formed in hopes of disbarring and disciplining lawyers who aided Donald Trump’s push to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election filed complaints Thursday with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court against seven lawyers in the state for their involvement in the former president’s legal efforts.

The list of those targeted by the 65 Project include bit players like attorney and conservative talk show host Marc A. Scaringi, of Harrisburg, who sponsored Rudy Giuliani to argue on behalf of the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania’s federal courts, as well as some of the most in-demand GOP elections lawyers in the state, like Ronald Hicks and Carolyn McGee, who most recently represented Republican Senate candidate David McCormick in recount litigation during his primary campaign against Mehmet Oz.

Additionally, the group filed complaints against three out-of-state lawyers who participated in Pennsylvania election litigation — including Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, who is now serving as a senior legal adviser to state Sen. Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee in this year’s governor’s race.

In their filings, the 65 project noted that the attorneys used their “law license and the legal profession’s integrity and power to an orchestrated effort to undermine our nation’s elections.”

Michael Teter, managing director of the 65 Project, remarked:

“It has now become part of the political toolbox for a candidate to allege fraud and seek to … undermine people’s faith in the outcome of elections any time they lose. We need to take that away. The best way to do that with lawyers is to ensure there are personal or professional consequences to the actions they take.”

Former New York City mayor and personal attorney to the ex-president had his law license taken from him in June of last year.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) is also facing the possibility of being disbarred as the result of a complaint from the 65 Project:

The complaint against Mr. Cruz, filed by a group called the 65 Project, focuses on baseless assertions by Mr. Cruz about widespread voting fraud in the weeks between Election Day in 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021, as well as his participation in lawsuits protesting the results in Pennsylvania.

Every single one of these shysters need to be banned from ever practicing law again.
