The Trump Bull Shit is getting tired….
“Albeit disorganized and fantastical, the Complaint’s allegations are extraordinarily serious and, if accepted as true by large numbers of people, are the stuff of which violent insurrections are made,”[Judge] Neureiter added in the 68-page opinion.
Following Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election, numerous lawsuits were filed to challenge the results and allege widespread voter fraud. The Tuesday opinion referred to other, similar election fraud suits that failed, saying the plaintiffs in this suit should have been on notice that “the lawsuits from which they were copying had failed.”
In the opinion, the judge also noted that independent and Republican sources, including former Attorney General William Barr, have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Neureiter took issue with the lawyers including former President Donald Trump’s groundless assertions that the election was stolen, without attempting to verify the statements. In the opinion, Neureiter said that including in the filing a debunked tweet from Trump was reckless in the political landscape of the Jan. 6 insurrection and unchecked claims of election fraud.
The opinion said the plaintiff lawyers would have to pay a portion of the defendants’ legal fees, saying that the sanction award would “not be excessive” and that the lawyers could appeal the sanction decision if they chose….
“getting tired?”
Hell,it’s just getting started!
It’s what the Republicans Party is all about.
If you believe Trumps exit from the scene is going to change anything you are sadly mistaken.
Look at all the other potential Republican candidates s?Every one of them are committed Trumpites.Look at the Republican state legislatures..They are trying to steal the 2024 election and its two years away.
Anyone who believes Trumpism is disappearing anytime soon is engaging in pure self deception.
It is amazing to me that James still doesn’t get it.
DETROIT (AP) — Nine lawyers allied with former President Donald Trump face financial penalties and other sanctions after a judge Wednesday said they had abused the court system with a lawsuit that challenged Michigan’s election results in favor of Joe Biden.
U.S. District Judge Linda Parker said the lawsuit last fall was a sham intended to deceive the court and the public, just a few days after Biden’s 154,000-vote victory in the state was certified.
“Despite the haze of confusion, commotion and chaos counsel intentionally attempted to create by filing this lawsuit, one thing is perfectly clear: Plaintiffs’ attorneys have scorned their oath, flouted the rules, and attempted to undermine the integrity of the judiciary along the way,” Parker said in the opening of a scathing 110-page opinion.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of six Republican voters who wanted Parker to decertify Michigan’s results and impound voting machines. The judge declined in December, calling the request “stunning in its scope and breathtaking in its reach.”
The state and Detroit subsequently asked Parker to order sanctions against Sidney Powell, L. Lin Wood and seven other attorneys who were part of the litigation.
The judge agreed, telling the state and city to tally the costs of defending the lawsuit and submit the figures within 14 days.
Parker said lawyers for Trump supporters filed affidavits stuffed with sinister “speculation and conjecture” about the vote-counting process without checking for evidence to support the claims.
“Individuals may have a right — within certain bounds — to disseminate allegations of fraud unsupported by law or fact in the public sphere,” the judge said. “But attorneys cannot exploit their privilege and access to the judicial process to do the same.”
Parker ordered 12 hours of legal education, including six hours in election law, for each attorney. Her decision will also be sent to the states where the lawyers are licensed for possible disciplinary action there….
