That semen stain is hard to explain.Attorney withdraws from election challenge lawsuit, saying Trump used him to 'perpetrate a crime'
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.
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."

Opinion | The 25th Amendment Can Remove Trump, but We Shouldn’t Stop There (Published 2021)
The magnitude of the current crisis calls for two constitutional measures: the 25th Amendment and impeachment.
Opinion
Why Trump Must Be Removed and Disqualified From Public Office
The magnitude of the current crisis calls for two constitutional measures: the 25th Amendment and impeachment.
By David Landau and Rosalind Dixon
Mr. Landau and Ms. Dixon are law professors.
After a mob incited by President Trump stormed and occupied the Capitol, American democracy needs protecting now — and not just now but in the coming weeks and years as well.
There are reports of preliminary discussions within the administration about invoking the 25th Amendment, a provision in the Constitution that provides a process to declare a sitting president no longer capable of fulfilling his duties. Another call is coming from a surprising source: The National Association of Manufacturers, not normally an organization known for this kind of political activism, said that Vice President Mike Pence “should seriously consider working with the cabinet” to invoke the amendment to remove President Trump and “preserve democracy.” People are invoking the 25th Amendment on the grounds that Mr. Trump is not fit to hold office and incited the chaos that unfolded on Capitol Hill — and may unfold again.
There are also calls from a number of Democratic representatives to impeach and remove the president for his actions around the illegal and violent takeover of one of the most hallowed traditions in American democracy.
The magnitude of the current crisis calls for both of these measures. The threat the president poses to our democracy is not short-lived and must be cut off urgently and decisively — before it leads to even greater degradation to American democratic processes and traditions. It will need to happen quickly, even with other demands pressing on our country’s leadership like certifying the election results, rolling out the coronavirus vaccine and calming a nation in crisis.
To do this, the cabinet and Congress must deploy the 25th Amendment and impeachment in sequence.
First, Vice President Pence and a majority of the cabinet should invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment in order to make a declaration that Mr. Trump is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” This would immediately suspend, but not remove, Mr. Trump from the exercise of his presidential duties and appoint Mr. Pence as acting president. The 25th Amendment would not and should not be used as a lasting solution in a case of this kind, but rather as a temporary measure to sideline a demonstrably unfit and dangerous actor who is fueling anti-democratic action.
Second, the House should quickly draw up and pass articles of impeachment. And then the Senate should hold a fair — but immediate and efficient — trial both to remove President Trump from office and, as important, to disqualify him from serving in public office in the future. Precedent suggests that the Senate would likely need to hold two separate votes on removal and disqualification, although the disqualification vote may require only a simple majority to be approved, as opposed to the two-thirds vote necessary for removal from office.
Disqualification is necessary given Mr. Trump’s anti-democratic response to the 2020 election and the continuing danger that he will pose to constitutional norms if allowed to flirt with a return to power in 2024. Indeed, the importance of disqualification in this case is such that the Congress should proceed with impeachment even if Mr. Trump’s term in office has already concluded.
A public vote and rapid trial in the Senate would give much-needed legitimacy to actions to remove Mr. Trump from office. By forcing Republicans to stand up for democracy and against the president’s actions, it would also reaffirm bipartisan support for the fundamental principles of American democracy. Further, while the 25th Amendment is intended mainly for illness or other objective incapacities, impeachment offers an appropriate moral response to the president’s conduct, including incitement to violence and attacks on basic democratic norms.
Why do this with only about two weeks left in President Trump’s term? Because we must defend our democracy for all Americans, now. And we must preserve our democracy for future Americans. We must ensure a field of potential Republican presidential hopefuls in 2024 who have integrity. And we must reassure the world, and especially would-be authoritarian regimes, about what United States policy will be on questions of freedom and self-rule now and in the future.
The Constitution does not protect against every threat currently facing our democracy. But it contains a range of useful safeguards. And it is high time to deploy them — with urgency.

After President Trump Incited a Riotous Mob, Will He Face Any Consequences?
After the President’s speech to supporters in the middle of the day, Trump did not march to the Capitol himself. Instead, he returned to the West Wing, and spent the afternoon between meetings in the Oval Office and ducking down a narrow corridor to watch news footage of his supporters rioting at the Capitol on the television in his private dining room.
Initially Trump seemed to relish the show of force. As rioters holding Trump flags smashed into the Capitol building and U.S. Capitol Police were telling lawmakers to grab gas masks and “go bags” and evacuate, Trump defended the mob’s actions, writing in a Tweet that was later taken down: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!”
That half-measure didn’t quell the violence. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told ABC News that he called Trump and “begged” him to broadcast a forceful statement. Shortly after 4 p.m., Trump released a polished video message recorded in the Rose Garden that still did little dissuade the rioters. “We had an election that was stolen from us,” Trump said, “but you have to go home now.” He ended the clip telling the mob, “We love you. You’re very special.”
“The mob that occupied the U.S. Capitol tried to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power,” said Nicole Austin-Hillery, the head of the U.S. program at Human Rights Watch. “This is the culmination of a reckless campaign by the president and his enablers to undermine democratic processes and the rule of law since his electoral defeat. The government needs to hold them to account.”
Just what that accountability will look like remains to be seen. Trump hopes to wield political influence after he leaves office by doling out campaign contributions from his $200 million fundraising war chest, the Save America political action committee. For now, Trump said he’ll leave office in an “orderly” way on Jan. 20.
It will be up to Congress and the public to hold him to it.

Poll: Majority of Republicans blame Biden for mob storming the Capitol
A majority of Republican voters surveyed in a new YouGov Direct poll believe that President-elect Joe Biden is to blame for the group of President Trump’s supporters who stormed the Capitol Wednesday.
The poll, which surveyed nearly 1,450 registered voters on the events at the Capitol, found that among Republicans, 52 percent identified Biden as the biggest culprit, rather than Trump himself.
Comparatively, just 26 percent of Republican voters blamed the president for inciting the violence, while another 26 percent pointed fingers at congressional Republicans who vowed to block the official tally of Biden's presidential win.
Both GOP and Democratic lawmakers alike held Trump responsible for Wednesday’s events, especially following a since-removed video the president shared on Twitter in which he repeated false claims of a stolen election when urging his supporters to act peacefully.
Despite the view of Biden’s responsibility among a large portion of Republicans, a majority of all voters surveyed in the YouGov poll, 55 percent, said that Trump is “a great deal to blame.”
Republicans were also divided in their support for Wednesday’s events, with 45 percent of registered GOP voters saying they actively supported the actions of the demonstrators, with 43 percent opposing.
While 59 percent of voters who were aware of Wednesday’s events at the Capitol said they viewed them as more violent than peaceful, 58 percent of Republicans said the opposite, believing the actions of protesters were largely peaceful.
Among voters surveyed in YouGov’s poll, 50 percent agree with immediately removing Trump from office, while 42 percent see such a move as inappropriate. Meanwhile, 85 percent of Republicans strongly oppose the move.
