Where'd the Kraken go? Judge sanctions pro-Trump lawyers who brought 'frivolous' election fraud lawsuits A federal judge ordered sanctions Wednesday for Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and several other lawyers who worked on Trump-aligned lawsuits seeking to challenge the results of the 2020 election. US District Judge Linda Parker, of the Eastern District of Michigan, said the lawyers had "engaged in litigation practices" that were "abusive and, in turn, sanctionable." "Sanctions are required to deter the filing of future frivolous lawsuits designed primarily to spread the narrative that our election processes are rigged and our democratic institutions cannot be trusted," the judge wrote in a 110-page opinion. Parker is ordering the lawyers to reimburse the attorneys' fees that the city of Detroit and Michigan state officials paid in seeking the sanctions. The lawyers must also take legal education classes, the judge said, and she is referring her decision to the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, and "the appropriate disciplinary authority for the jurisdiction(s) where each attorney is admitted," for potential disciplinary action https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/25...en-lawsuits/index.html ------------------------- Hi.

From the NPR article: "It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an
allegedly fraudulent election," she wrote. "It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. This is what happened here." It turns out the trying to turn actual court into the court of public opinion has consequences. I smell an emaciated first amendment defense coming out here. If these clowns appeal this, it's just gets much worse. So what did we learn? Any lawyer who had a brain knew there was nothing and that this strategy of attacking every election result with a frivolous suit was doomed and could see them sanctioned, disciplined snd even disbarred. These hacks are the lawyers that did it anyway and while the court of public opinion has adjourned, the court of law is meting out justice. ------------------------- "One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power."

This is nice to see. I was beginning to wonder it Trump had chipped enough away for the foundation to begin to crumble. A beginning of the end if you will.

This is refreshing. The big lie cost money and national pride. We will eradicate the disease that is qotardism.

The sad part is that the financial penalties won't be borne by the Lunatic Lawyers, but by their gifted gullible MAGAtards.
12 hours of "continuing ed" is ridiculous, as well. That judge should have kicked them in the nuts. |
