A conservative attorney on Tuesday resigned from her law firm after blowback over her role backing President Donald Trump during a phone call pressuring Georgia’s top election official to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s win in that state.

The lawyer, Cleta Mitchell, had been a partner in the firm of Foley & Lardner, which on Monday said it ws investigating her involvement in the call by Trump to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

During that call, Mitchell supported the president’s challenging of the election results.

Foley & Lardner said on Monday that its attorneys were not supposed to be representing “any party” related to the presidential election results.

This one's gonna hurt. Sekulow's been with him for a long time....

quote:
President Donald Trump's impeachment lawyer and personal defense attorney Jay Sekulow said this week Trump's insistence that Vice President Mike Pence has the power to reject states' electors is not constitutional.

"Some have speculated that the vice president could simply say, 'I'm not going to accept these electors,' that he has the authority to do that under the Constitution. I actually don't think that's what the Constitution has in mind," Sekulow said during his Periscope show on Tuesday.

"If that were the case, any vice president could refuse any election," he added. "It's more of ministerial procedural function."

It's not disbarment, but at least it's a consequence.

She didn’t sign her name to ridiculous pleadings. She just violated firm policy.
