        1. New: Several dozen prominent lawyers, organized by @LDADemocracy, filed an ethics complaint in NY against Kenneth Chesebro, a Trump lawyer who worked w/ Eastman and Giuliani and was “the apparent mastermind behind key aspects of the fake elector ploy.” nytimes.com/2022/10/12/us/politics/kenneth-chesebro-trump-fake-electors.html

        One is @tribelaw, who is obv no fan of Trump, but there's a personal twist. As a law student in 1985-86, Chesebro was Tribe's assistant & later worked with him on pro bono litigation -- including helping him represent Al Gore in Bush v. Gore. (Friendship ended some years ago.)

      Not in the story because irrelevant, but still interesting: Tribe had several student research assistants that year at HLS helping him on 2nd edition of his conlaw treatise. The team included not just Chesebro but Elena Kagan, @JeffreyToobin, and now-SDNY Judge Paul Engelmayer.

    Tribe's disavowal of his former student, assistant and friend is kind of like Judge Michael Luttig's repudiation of John Eastman, his former clerk, in the space of the Jan. 6 gambit re fake electors and claim that Pence had the power to decide which to count or not.
