1. There is a lot going on but everyone should really know about the brief filed in federal court by Team Giuliani for the Trump campaign in federal court last night.

Among many brazen attacks on the democratic process, it manages to stand out.

Let's dive in.
2. The fundamental problem Giuliani faces is that there is absolutely no evidence of fraud.

Their solution is that they've filed a motion to review 3 MILLION ENVELOPES used to return absentee ballots so that they can try to find some evidence.

This is not a joke.
3. But wait, how is Giuliani and his crew going to personally review 3 million envelopes? They can't. But they have a solution.

They are asking for a RANDOM SELECTION of ballots. They will then use that selection to invalidate Biden ballots BY INFERENCE
4. On the basis of this "exercise" the Trump campaign is asking the court to DECLARE TRUMP THE WINNER

Not because they counted the votes and Trump got more

But through a ridiculous method invented by the Trump campaign that does not involve counting votes
5. There are no legal citations to support this kind of remedy because it is absolutely absurd

Republicans are saying Trump has the right to pursue legal challenges.

But these aren't legitimate legal challenges. They are an affront to the rule of law.
