Tonight from Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis: "Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team."

Three days ago:
One wrinkle in any effort by Trump to distance himself from Sidney Powell is that she is still representing Michael Flynn, and Trump has championed Powell's efforts to fight the criminal case against Flynn and, more recently, to back DOJ's effort to drop it. That's still pending.
It appears Michael Flynn has blocked me so I can't tell you first-hand what he's been up on this platform lately - are you able to see his tweets? Let me know.

An update on Nevada: The NV Supreme Court certified the election results today rgj.com/story/news/pol…

There are still a handful of legal challenges pending — three involve Clark County and non-prez GOP candidates, and one contests Biden's win specifically
The three remaining non-prez challenges allege the same issues about how Clark County election officials handled mail-in voting, and were brought by the same lawyer. There have been a # of hearings in the past week, and one is happening now re: state senate candidate April Becker
The lawyers for Clark County and NV Dems have been visibly/overtly frustrated with the lawyer bringing these cases, Craig Mueller — county lawyer Mary-Anne Miller at one point objected today that Mueller didn't understand election processes and was pushing unsupported info

State of play on Trump campaign/GOP litigation in Pennsylvania:
- On Saturday, a federal judge dismissed (and demolished) Trump's big swing to stop the state from certifying Biden as the state's winner: 
buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
- The campaign appealed to the 3rd Circuit, but contrary to their insistence this weekend that this puts them on a fast track to SCOTUS, what they're asking for is to go *back to the district court* and get a chance to press their second amended complaint assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7332… Image
- The judge had dismissed the campaign's first amended complaint (which they filed after the 3rd Circuit issued an opinion in another case, Bognet, that undercut much of the legal foundation of the campaign's complaint), and denied its request for leave to file a second one

New: A deep dive into tonight's opinion demolishing the Trump campaign's bid to stop Pennsylvania from certifying Biden as the winner — and illustrating how the campaign has failed to translate unfounded fraud conspiracy theories into winning legal claims buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Step 1: The judge concluded Trump's campaign and the individual voters who sued lacked standing — the critical hurdle a party must clear to get anywhere in court buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Step 2: The judge concluded that even if Trump's campaign/the voters had standing, they would fail on the merits — that PA letting counties decide if they would let voters "cure" defective ballots wasn't unconstitutional buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

I would like to tell you that I'm covering a hearing in Clark County, NV, in one of the cases challenging the county's handling of mail-in voting and seeking a revote, but...the courtroom is somehow muted on Blue Jeans, so I am only covering in the sense that I can *see* it...
A masked lawyer is currently gesturing. Then the masked judge is gesturing. That's all I've got.
Aha we have sound!

Here's a link to the complaint in this case courtesy of @DemocracyDocket, it's seeking a total revote in Clark County: democracydocket.com/wp-content/upl…

In Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign has withdrawn its appeal of a judge's order rejecting their challenge to 592 absentee ballots in Montgomery County where the voter didn't write their address when they signed the envelope declaration
Elswhere in PA, a judge in Bucks County rejected the Trump campaign's appeal of the county's decision to count 2,117 absentee ballots with various deficiencies. Judge notes both sides agreed there was no evidence of fraud re: the ballots in this case assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7331…

Rudy Giuliani is holding a presser to rehash unfounded allegations of a left-wing conspiracy to rig votes in Dem-leaning big cities. He's with Trump ride-or-die lawyers from the past four years: Sidney Powell (also Michael Flynn's lawyer), Joe DiGenova, and Victoria Toensing
Giuliani is citing an affidavit filed by an election worker in Detroit that he says offers proof of fraud. Here are the excerpts from the court opinion explaining why the claims in this affidavit weren't persuasive or were altogether disproven by evidence from election officials
Here's a link to the full opinion in the Costantino case: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7328…

The judge noted this witness didn't lodge any complaints at the time about what she allegedly witnessed and only came forward after Biden won
