Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized the ongoing legal charade being orchestrated by President Donald Trump and his lawyers, calling the conduct of Trump’s legal team a “national embarrassment” Sunday on ABC News’ This Week. Trump has racked up dozens of courtroom losses around the country over the last three weeks, as Trump’s band of misfit lawyers continues to make increasingly more outlandish claims. “The conduct of the president’s legal team has been a national embarrassment,” said Christie.

In a delicious bout of the crazies eating their own, Trump’s legal team disavowed one of its founding members, Sidney Powell, after she went on TV and basically explained how the 2020 election was stolen from Trump by “communist money” and former Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez (who died in 2013) but somehow managed to rig “the algorithm” (in the future) of Dominion Voting Systems, the voting system used in Michigan and Georgia.
