Donald Trump’s ill-fated election lawyer has resigned

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Trump’s election lawyer Cleta Mitchell, who incriminated herself on the Georgia phone call this weekend, has now resigned from her prestigious law firm. This suggests that the law firm now sees her as a liability and quickly forced her out. Yet another terrible person has had their life ruined by their association with Trump. Yay!

– After Mike Pence fails to magically hand Trump another term tomorrow, because Pence literally can’t do that, it’ll be fun watching Trump’s base rabidly turn against Pence. In the end, everyone who stands too close to Trump ends up regretting it. It’s always just a matter of time.

– Tweet of the day, from Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman: “There’s an understandable urge to move forward, indeed our own officials often counsel countries to avoid perceptions of retaliation. Seeking accountability for Trump & the corrupted is not this, it’s uncovering wrong doing to protect/ harden our democracy against future abuse.”
