118. Your old lawyer is wrong.
Tell your old lawyer to go read the Constitution, and see that the election is not complete until the electors have voted. This takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. Then, the vote count is forwarded to the President of the Senate, who opens it and announces it publicly on January 6.

Do you think the framers of the Constitution didn't foresee something like this? That's why the election's not over yet.

I'd get myself a new "old lawyer," if I were you. Concession speechs have no legal standing.'

You're acting like every indicted client I ever had. Nervous, self-involved, and convinced you need to know my every thought and every move.

No, that's not how it works. You sit there, and do whatever it is you do in your life, and I'll let you know when I'm ready. Then, and only then, do we proceed, and if you don't like what I'm doing, you're free to fire me. You will not, however, change my plan. That's how it works.
