Lake Says She'll 'Take Anybody' As Lawyers Drop Out Of Beleaguered Election Suit

Unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who staked much of her 2022 election bid on peddling Donald Trump’s big lie, admitted Tuesday that she’s having trouble retaining lawyers in her quest to get her own election loss overturned.

“We had attorneys who did walk away because the left is threatening them with their ability to make a living and practice law,” she said Tuesday to Charlie Kirk at his Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix. “And some of our attorneys said ‘look, I got mouths to feed, I can’t do this case, I don’t want to be sanctioned.’”

“I got to a point where I said ‘I’ll take anybody,’” she said to laughter. “We’ll take Better Call Saul to come in here.”

Her case likely did not become any more appealing to prospective lawyers after a Superior Court judge in Maricopa County dismissed eight of the 10 claims in her lawsuit this week.

Lake — working within the mold of Trump’s legal team, which, in the aftermath of the 2020 election, desperately tried a whole gamut of legal sorcery to wrench back the battleground states — also took the flinging-spaghetti-at-the-wall approach.

No, speaking for the left, please proceed! The more humiliating your defeat, the better. Unleash the Kraken!

who was a lawyer for Cyber Ninjas ..too - or - Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The Dhillon Law Group has been retained by Donald Trump on the subpoena issued by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The firm has also represented Michael Flynn, Sebastian Gorka, and Women for America First.

All the scumbags..

...except, perhaps, trying to scrape up enough money for lawyers for himself.
