One Trump adviser called the current strategy a “dead end,” and said
Giuliani’s high-profile attempts at drumming up legal obstacles to the
certification of Biden’s election amounted to a “hostile takeover of
the campaign.”

“The obvious thing is, this is a ****show,” the adviser said. “When
the Rudy show started, that was a sidelining of everyone else. At that
point, it became an issue of going through the motions and the
recognition of, ‘OK, this is definitely over because we don’t have a
chance with... these conspiracy theories.’”
