Trump Fears His Campaign Legal Team Is Composed of ‘Fools That Are Making Him Look Bad’

Dan Mangan, CNBC:

Trump is worried that his campaign’s legal team, which is being led by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, is composed of “fools that are making him look bad,” NBC News reported Monday.

That group, which has unironically called itself an “elite strike force team,” to date has failed to win any legal victories that would invalidate votes for Biden, the former Democratic vice president, even as they tout wildly broad claims of fraud for which they have offered no convincing evidence.

The Trump legal team unceremoniously parted ways with attorney Sidney Powell, who, just last week, explained how the election was rigged by Hugo Chávez, who died in 2013.

Trump worrying now that his legal team is a bunch of crackpots making him look bad is like the moment when the captain of the Titanic, already half submerged, said, “Hey, I’m starting to think this ship is not unsinkable.”
