Donald Trump’s own lawyer Jay Sekulow turns against him

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.

Donald Trump has been through so many idiot lawyers, we’ve lost count. But even as others have come and gone, Jay Sekulow has remained Trump’s lawyer for quite a long time. Sekulow is definitely an idiot – but even he appears to have decided it’s time to abandon the sinking ship.

Sekulow made a point of acknowledging today that Mike Pence has literally no ability to somehow magically overturn the election result tomorrow. Of course everyone outside Trump’s remaining base knows this, but Trump is still openly fantasizing aloud on Twitter about somehow making it happen.

So it’s notable that Sekulow has chosen now to loudly turn against Donald Trump. Of course in two weeks there will be no Donald Trump, as the rest of his life quickly becomes about criminal indictments, trials, creditor squeezes, bankruptcy, and prison. It appears Sekulow is now trying to rehabilitate his own reputation. Sorry, too late.
