What? He just now figured that out? Didn't he read the lawsuits he was filing?An attorney representing President Trump in one of his dozens of lawsuits challenging the 2020 election moved to withdraw from the case on Thursday, telling a federal court that the president used him to "perpetrate a crime."
Philadelphia-based attorney Jerome Marcus asked the court to allow him to withdraw, citing concerns over Pennsylvania's professional conduct standards for lawyers.
[...]
The case Marcus was involved in was one of the earliest election challenges that Trump filed and one of the most short-lived. Submitted just two days after the election, it sought to halt the vote counting in Philadelphia, accusing elections officials of illegally excluding Trump's poll watchers from observing the process. A federal judge denied Trump's motion for an emergency injunction on the same day that the lawsuit was filed.

Marcus wrote that "the client has used the lawyer's services to perpetrate a crime and the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant and with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement."

UPDATE:
Fuck off back under your rock. You have been instrumental in keeping Trump afloat by betraying YOUR office.
Yeah, not to mention, if he didn't know, he found out real quick and didn't say anything.
Apparently Senator Cramer has had his head in the sand for four years.Only six Republican senators ultimately voted to sustain an objection raised by Cruz to Arizona’s electoral slate on Wednesday after 13 Republicans signaled before the polls closed in Georgia Tuesday that they would support such an objection. Only seven GOP senators supported a second objection raised by Hawley to Pennsylvania’s election results.
The drop-off in support was a reflection of Trump’s plummeting political stock after the loss of the Senate majority and his response to the rioting in the Capitol.
Many Republicans are scrambling to distance themselves from Trump after he publicly pressured Vice President Mike Pence to unilaterally attempt to overturn the results of the presidential election at a joint session of Congress on Wednesday and then kept silent after a pro-Trump mobbed swarmed the Capitol and Senate chamber, sending lawmakers to secure rooms while police locked down the campus.

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who has been a strong Trump ally during his first term, late on Wednesday said [...] “I do think the president bears some responsibility. Certainly, he bears responsibility for his own actions and his own words and today in watching his speech, I have to admit I gasped,” Cramer said.

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Friday that Donald Trump should resign the presidency immediately and that if the Republican Party cannot separate itself from Trump, she isn’t certain she has a future with the party.

What was that she said when she voted "no" on impeachment? Oh yeah, she said she thought he'd learned his lesson.
Fox News contributor and formerWhite House press secretary Ari Fleischer has vowed to no longer “defend” President Trump following Wednesday’s pro-Trump riot that overtook the Capitol.
“At this point, I won’t defend him anymore,” Fleischer, who served in the George W. Bush administration and who voted for Trump in 2020, told The Associated Press.
“I won’t defend him for stirring the pot that incited the mob,” the GOP strategist added. “He’s on his own.”
[...]
Fleischer had previously vocalized support for Trump, writing in an October opinion piece for The Hill that he planned to cast his vote for the sitting president in the 2020 election, viewing the choice between Trump and Biden as “between a personally offensive outsider who signs good policies and a professionally offensive politician who will turn bad ideas into law.”
“Say what you will about Trump violating norms, he has never tried to redo the balance of power by irregular means,” Fleischer wrote at the time.

And where the Hell does Kellyanne Conway get off? She's been one of Trump's biggest enablers.
