She resigned. Right.One of President Donald Trump's top lawyers has resigned from her law firm after participating in a phone call in which Trump attempted to overturn the election result in Georgia, Insider has learned.
Cleta Mitchell wrote in a letter to her clients on Tuesday that she was resigning from the blue-chip firm Foley & Lardner.

SHE decided. Right."As you are probably aware, there has been a massive pressure campaign in the last several days mounted by leftist groups via social media and other means against me, my law firm, and clients of the law firm, because of my personal involvement with President Trump, his campaign and the White House, related to the November 3 general election in Georgia," Mitchell wrote. "After discussions with my firm's management, I have decided that it is in both of our interests that I leave the firm."
Guess they understand it pretty well now.Mitchell participated in the call on Saturday, in which Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" votes to overturn the state's result.
Shortly after the call became public, Foley & Lardner distanced itself from Mitchell and the president.
"We are aware of, and are concerned by, Ms. Mitchell's participation in the January 2 conference call and are working to understand her involvement more thoroughly," the firm said on Monday.
She's damned lucky they're that generous."Cleta Mitchell has informed firm management of her decision to resign from Foley & Lardner effective immediately," said Dan Farrell, a spokesman for Foley & Lardner, in a statement to Insider. "Ms. Mitchell concluded that her departure was in the firm's best interests, as well as in her own personal best interests. We thank her for her contributions to the firm and wish her well."
So it took quite a lot for her to step over the line.Mitchell is a veteran lawyer for conservative Republicans and tea partyers, with deep ties on the right.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
