Chris Christie: Trump's legal team has been 'a national embarrassment'
By Joseph Choi - 11/22/20 11:57 AM EST

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday called President Trump's legal team "a national embarrassment."

Christie told ABC "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos that it was time for Trump's refusal to concede to end, adding to pressure building from members of the GOP to begin recognizing President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

Stephanopoulos noted that Trump's legal team had lost 34 court cases and that Trump attacked Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) for calling on the president on Saturday to recognize the election result.

"Is it finally time for this end?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"Yes," Christie responded. "The president has had an opportunity to access the courts, and I said to you, you know George, starting at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, if you've got the evidence of fraud, present it. And what's happened here is quite frankly, the conduct of the president's legal team has been a national embarrassment."

I think Trump is finding out who his *friends* really are.

There’s Christie Cream again, one fat moistened finger in the air.

Mortification, far more than an embarrassment;
but no surprise as Trump is consoled by Stooges.

Trump is filing lawsuits in Democommie controlled cities and states.  It is expected by his team they are shot down.  They have to go through the process to ultimately arrive at the Supreme Court.  Hopefully they get there, but if Roberts has anything to say about it, it will not happen.

Don't the justices assigned to the various districts decide what is heard in SCOTUS? Or does the CJ still have veto power over their recommendations?

No sour grapes on Christie's, part...no, not him...

Christiie's entire career has been predicated with sticking his finger in the wind for direction.  Jabba can ooze away all I care.

Shhh. If we leave Plutarch alone maybe we'll get lucky and he'll nyuk nyuk nyuk his way back to the Temple of Apollo.

This is going to be a week were a lot is likely to happen - whether good or bad is unclear.

The expectations have been set very high by Powell and Wood. It would seem pretty unlikely they'll be allowed to make their case with all that is at stake.

Be prepared for anything this coming week...

Yep.

Personally I wish Trump had a much better legal team working on this.

As for Christie, I could really care less what the jelly doughnut boy says.

Okay, I have this little itch in the back of my brain that says What if both sides were in on using this stuff, that the calculus was all worked out in the equivalent of smoky back rooms, and both sides used this to tweak a system they have been milking the teats off of for the last century or more?
Maybe that's why there are so few prominent GOP out there railing about fraud and election theft.
Maybe that's why it is so hard for an 'outsider' to get in?
This could be the Deep State's job security program, after all, we're talking about here--not needed for every election, but just enough to keep this one out or get that one in...to make sure that every step is one toward totalitarianism, whether it's the left jackboot or the right one.

Where are the investigators and prosecutors?
Where is the DOJ?

Bingo!  Barr is useless; maybe he's been hiding in the basement with Sloe Joe.  Unfortunately Giualiani will prove to be just as useless.

I hope not, and I hope Powell has the real big guns in this.

Let's take up a collection and Fed-Ex him a half-dozen traffic cones.

And for cryin' out loud, be prepared for the media to throw shade on whatever the team produces.

They do not deserve the right to influence our thinking on anything.

Keep it together, @libertybele  We're almost there.   

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

 

So far Christie is right, unless they present some major evidence of fraud.

I'm hanging in there .... patting you on the back for remaining positive 

I'm praying for a miracle .... BIGLY.

Right. Everyone's fault but Trump's.

[skeeter]

No, he's not. He doesn't get to un-throw sh*t once it leaves his hand, evidence or no evidence.

He's a disgusting political opportunist. And he's fat.

What do you fault the President for @Weird Tolkienish Figure
