Although a joint session of Congress was delayed and members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives feared for their safety, it resumed on Wednesday evening — and the Electoral College results were affirmed by Congress. Biden's inauguration is set for January 20.<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-07/trump-campaign-lawyer-asks-to-withdraw-over-capitol-hill-crime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Bloomberg News</a> reporter Erik Larson previously reported the motion.On Thursday in Philadelphia, Marcus told U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond his client "used the lawyer's services to perpetrate a crime and the client insists on taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant and with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement."Larson quotes Marcus as saying, "I believe that the filing of that and other cases was used by President Trump yesterday to incite people to violence. I refer specifically to his urging people to come to Washington for a 'wild' protest."Marcus has been representing Trump's campaign in a lawsuit against city election officials in <a href="https://www.alternet.org/2020/11/biden-philadelphia/" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Philadelphia</a>, a Democratic stronghold that played a key role in Biden's victory in Pennsylvania.

=Behind Davis and Cammarata as they prepared for that momentous day was the same trio of youngish lawyers who had first assisted their representation of Jones -- Jerome Marcus, of the Philadelphia firm Berger & Montague;

George Conway III, a partner at New York's Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz; and Richard Porter,

the former Quayle aide who had joined Kenneth Starr's firm, Kirkland & Ellis, in its Chicago home office.   During the early eighties Porter and Marcus had attended the University of Chicago Law School, coming under the influence of its strongly libertarian faculty.

The worst mistake Davis and Cammarata made was to confide all those sensitive details to their behind-the-scene advisers, a little group of committed conservatives led by Philadelphia lawyer Jerome Marcus.  (It was Marcus' name that appeared most often on the time sheets kept by the Jones lawyers, although they frequently spoke and communicated with George Conway in New York, and less often with Richard Porter in Chicago.)  Both men valued the assistance donated pro bono by the group, though they had believed from the beginning that Conway, Marcus, and Porter all were motivated more by hatred of Bill Clinton than by any desire to rescue Paula Jones.  Yet Davis and Cammarata, although Republicans themselves, wouldn't countenance the misuse of their lawsuit to advance a partisan agenda.  They took their duties as officers of the court seriously and consistently placed their client's interest ahead of politics.

The man who set up Tripp's long-awaited rendezvous with the new Jones attorneys from Dallas was Richard W. Porter, the conservative activist with an expanding resume:   former Bush White house aide, adviser to Vice President Dan Quayle, and Republican opposition researcher; fellow University of Chicago Law School alumnus and close friend of Jerome Marcus, with whom he had arranged continuing legal assistance for Paula Jones; law partner of Kenneth W. Starr at Kirkland & Ellis; lawyer and anti-Clinton researcher for investment banker Peter W. Smith, who talked to him about negotiations with the Arkansas state troopers in troopergate; and now conduit to the Jones team for Linda Tripp and Lucianne Goldberg.
