Welcome to Courtside, everyone, where we discuss the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump.

0:05.0

It's day 19 after the election. I always tell you every time that things are going badly for Trump, that he's suffered terrible setbacks, etc.

0:13.0

But today has to be the worst of all of them. His litigation count now stands at two wins out of 36.

0:20.0

And the two are totally irrelevant. And that last loss,

0:23.7

that 36 cases we'll talk about, is massive. Before doing that, I just want to light a candle for

0:30.5

his lawyer, Sidney Powell, who was part of his elite strike force and was giving a press conference

before. So for that, telling the truth, Krebs got fired. So Chris Krebs and Sidney Powell are now both

1:13.0

fired, even though one has their integrity intact. The other big thing, this is huge. Remember that

1:19.1

Pennsylvania case we talked about, the one on Thursday that Giuliani argued or spewed or

1:26.5

whatever the right verb is? Well, a federal judge last night decided it,

1:30.3

and it was the biggest judicial smackdown I think I've ever seen. And I mean ever, and I've

1:34.8

seen a lot of cases. This is coming from a mild-mannered federal judge, a guy who before joining the

1:40.5

bench was a prominent GOP, Republican official in Pennsylvania, member of the Federalist

1:45.6

Society, etc. The decision is 37 pages long and it has barbed insights and insults it
