A conservative legal organization that has filed lawsuits challenging the election results in five states has a tie to President Donald Trump's legal team, raising questions about the independence of what has appeared to be an endeavor separate from the president's last-gasp legal maneuvering.

Senior Trump campaign legal adviser Jenna Ellis serves as special counsel to the Thomas More Society, which has filed lawsuits through the newly formed Amistad Project alleging problems with the vote in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The Thomas More Society confirmed her relationship to the group but said she is playing no role in its election-related activities.

However, her affiliation with the organization - as well as other links between Trump's team and the conservative group - suggest a coordinated effort to flood the nation's courts with repetitive litigation that allows the president to claim the election results remain contested.

This is attributed to Goebbels, although there is no authoritative record of him saying it:
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

But her extensive experience in traffic court makes up for it.

Whatever. She was low bidder and knows full well she’ll never get paid.
