The 9 lawyers who filed a frivolous election lawsuit in Detroit are being ordered to pay their opponent’s legal fees due to fraud allegations based on “speculation, conjecture, and unwarranted suspicion.”
They’re also being ordered to undergo 12 hours of legal education on election law, and they’re being referred to disciplinary boards.
“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.”
Also:
Last month the judge told them that they should have properly investigated Mr Trump’s debunked claims of voter fraud before bringing their lawsuit.
And she said sanctions were required against the attorneys “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.”
Perhaps these rulings are the closest we’ll get to seeing an actual kraken, except this decision is just the tip of one tentacle. There are other cases pending against them.
