Porter Wright Withdraws from Trump Frivolous Election Lawsuits - Enabling Law Firms Risk Attorney Ethical Violations and Criminal Prosecutions for Federal Election Fraud

The day after Voter March published its blog that law firm Porter Wright is representing Trump and the Republican Party in their specious lawsuit of voter fraud, Porter Wright abruptly withdrew from representation. All major networks have projected that President-Elect Biden has won the Electoral College by a decisive victory of 306 to 232. Voter March is apolitical, and the issue is not that sore loserman Trump is a Republican, but that he is a fascist demagogue who is spreading disinformation and malicious lies about the election. Trump has the support of wimpy and self-serving Republican Senators who know that Biden run won the election fairly and decisively.

Trump has the support of mercenary and unethical attorneys who are willing to do his bidding.

These remaining "enabling" law firms, including Jones Day, King & Spalding, Statecraft and Consovoy McCarthy are committing serious ethical violations that could lead to severe discipline including suspension and disbarment. These law firms must be held accountable and are jeopardizing the very existence of their law firms, and may be criminally prosecuted for Conspiracy to Commit Federal Election Fraud, 52 U.S. Code § 20511.

President Trump and His Enablers of the Unfounded Accusations of Massive Voter Fraud

As expected from his pre-election unfounded accusations of a rigged election, President Trump has made outlandish accusations of massive voter fraud. President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris have won a decisive victory with over 5 Million votes in their favor, and an Electoral College lead projected at 306, well above the 270 required for winning. Even Fox News has declared President-Elect Biden the winner. Trump is not delusional or just a sore loser, but Trump is sly as a fox and an opportunist. Trump is knowingly lying to the American Voter, including his core supporters, of massive voter fraud. Trump wants to trample on the rights of the American voter and get named as the winner of the 2020 Election, by "hook or crook." Trump is from the school of the "ends justify the means." It does not matter whether he wins a fair election, he just wants to win at all costs and retain power.

Trump is using whatever powers he has as a sitting President to usurp our democratic election process. He is firing qualified people in government posts and replacing them with Trump loyalists who are political hacks. President-Elect Biden is being denied important government information, including national security briefings. The Government Services Administration is wrongfully withholding necessary funding and property from the Biden Transition Team. Trump is advancing his agenda by bullying and intimidating Government officials and elected representatives, especially the Republican Members of Congress. Only 4 Republican Congressional leaders have recognized Biden as President-Elect. All of these politicians and Trump appointed government officials are "enablers" in Trump's undemocratic and illegal attempt to seize power and to shred the pillars of our democracy.

With the help of unethical and mercenary attorneys, Trump is abusing the legal system and our Courts by mounting a "scorched earth" litigation campaign to try to discard hundreds of thousands of legal votes. Attorneys are officers of the Court and are subject to ethical standards, including abstaining from commencing and continuing frivolous litigation. See No Self-Respecting Lawyer Should Touch Trump’s Election-Fraud Claims -- The president may not have to worry about keeping a job after January 20, 2021, but the attorneys doing his bidding at the moment certainly do, Atlantic Monthly, Nov. 11, 2020. This unethical conduct by "enabler" law firms such as Porter Wright extends to each and every Partner in the firm and all Associates involved in the frivolous litigation, and is grounds for attorney ethics complaints to the state Bar Associations.
