The ongoing efforts to prosecute, disbar, and smear attorneys who served as election lawyers for President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign could leave Republicans short of legal talent for the election fight in November 2024.

That’s the analysis of some observers, noting the recent successful prosecutions of Trump aides Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bannon, and the ongoing effort to disbar Trump attorney John Eastman, among other such efforts.

One commentator — “@amuse” — wrote on X / Twitter:

The 65 Project, among others, claims to be a “bipartisan” effort to hold lawyers accountable and to “deter future abuse of the legal system by lawyers seeking to overturn legitimate elections.” But it does not apply to Democrats — certainly not to the many state officials who have tried, in the 2024 election, to exclude Trump from the ballot, only to be shot down 9-0 by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Nevertheless, such efforts are effective. In November 2020 — just days after the election — Trump’s lawyers in Pennsylvania quit under pressure, amid demands by Democratic Party activists and lawyers that firms take action against anyone representing Trump’s election challenges.
