Law Firm Stops Representing Trump Campaign in Pennsylvania Suit
Decision followed a meeting in which the sound of forehead slaps could be heard through the closed door of the conference room.
Shouts of 'WTF?! were we thinking' and 'I told you it was a mistake to represent these voter fraud conspiracy theory loons' were clearly audible as well.

Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, the law firm leading the Trump campaign’s efforts to cast doubt on the presidential election results in Pennsylvania, abruptly withdrew from a federal lawsuit that it filed days earlier on behalf of President Trump.
“Plaintiffs and Porter Wright have reached a mutual agreement that plaintiffs will be best served if Porter Wright withdraws,” the law firm said in a federal court filing.
The firm’s withdrawal followed an article in The New York Times on Monday described internal tensions at the firm about its work for Mr. Trump’s campaign in Pennsylvania. Some employees said they were concerned that the firm was being used to undercut the integrity of the electoral process. One Porter Wright lawyer resigned in protest over the summer.
Porter Wright, based in Columbus, Ohio, has received at least $727,000 in fees from the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, according to federal election disclosures.

After the answers below I'm surprised the judge didn't respond:
I'm not even going to ask you to approach the bench to avoid the embarrassment. In open court, please, answer the court, Why in TF Are You HERE?
If this were an update of The Paper Chase I would hand you a cell phone and suggest that you call your law firm and tell them that there is serious doubt in your ability to continue practicing law.
