A state judge in Wisconsin tore into the disastrous, Trump-supported “investigation” of Wisconsin’s 2020 election results Wednesday, finding that lead investigator Michael Gableman had not only largely turned up nothing of substance, but also that attorneys working on the case had shown an unwillingness to abide by professional conduct rules.
The man makes a case.
“If my prior estimation that OSC’s brief ‘contains inaccuracies’ was improvident, it was only in the suggestion that OSC’s brief also contains accuracies,” the judge wrote.
My favorite line. Damn!
James Bopp Jr., one of the attorneys whose pro hac vice privileges the judge revoked, said they were appealing the $24,000 fine.
Is this the same James Bopp Jr. who is a lawyer for NARAL?
Fight Truth Decay!! Not sure of the procedure, but Vos should be reprimanded or censured. He initiated, encouraged, and funded this waste of taxpayer funds.
The code name for Gableman was “Crazy Eyes”.
The third, fourth and fifth party candidates, plus miscellaneous write ins, totaled over 56,000 votes in Wisconsin. Almost triple President Biden’s margin of victory.
So how come nobody is talking about all the dead Libertarians who voted twice for Jo Jorgensen at their girlfriends’ house through an illegal drop box?
you beat me to it
I have yet to see any discussion of Chicago, Milwaukee or Minneapolis residents illegally voting twice at their lake properties in Minocqua, Eagle River or Hayward. Or falsely declaring residency at their lake properties to vote in the school bond referendum.
I’m guessing this is because they aren’t illegally voting in favor of the referendum to make sure our northern Wisconsin students have equal access to quality educations, in between distributing their mini-golf putters and gassing up the go-karts.
For anyone wondering, “pro hac vice” is how you get admitted to appear in a case in a state where you are not licensed to practice. After this debacle, it’s unlikely these freaks are getting pro hac’d anywhere again.
Once again, thank you for the explanation.
On the contrary, he did work for the NRLC – the National Right to Life Committee
I just picked up my mother-in-law, who has delusional syndrome, from the ER for the 4th time in as many weeks. She has a persistent delusion that there is “someone” who is shooting rays into her body that cause her pain which has proven to be otherwise undiagnosable by x-ray, lab or physician. I would worry about it more if it hadn’t been going on for 40 years or so. As proof of this “someone’s” existence (she calls him the little bastard - he is otherwise nameless) she cites her pain. Why would she have pain if he wasn’t shooting her with rays? The fact that no medical person can find any cause for the pain is just further proof of her theory.
All of these clowns from Giuliani to Gableman seem to be suffering from something similar. The fact that they have found absolutely nothing to back up their claims in almost 2 years appears, to them, to be proof of their claims of fraud. I can imagine this judge getting this cardboard envelope stuffed with 800 sheets of out of order paperwork and dumping it on his floor to try to make some semblance of sense out of something that has never had any sense attached to it.
I get that it is a paying gig and a grift and a way to get attention, but for some of these people I think it goes deeper. I think they have delusional syndrome. Otherwise I just cannot make any sense out of some of the behavior that seems to keep being exposed.
As with my MIL, I find it exhausting.
Thank you for caring for her, though. Caretaking is exhausting, but its necessary. Hang in there.
“[The Office of Special Counsel] accomplished nothing…"
Not true. It enriched a former Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and his out of state lawyers croneys with a helluva lot of of Wisconsin tax dollars.
Now, with this revelation, can we force the WI Assembly to collect back all the money it spent on this investigation and return it to the people of Wisconsin, who mostly knew all along this thing was fake and never asked for it?
Maybe Robin should pay for it out of his campaign slush fund and PAC…
An outrage!!!
Jerks
Appeal that. And let the appeals court go over it with a fine-tooth comb? Lol. Good for the judge for revoking any standing by counsel from out of state who are basically nuts. What I hope is that the state itself can get back the money paid out to these bozos for the fraud that they’ve obviously perpetrated upon the people of Wisconsin.
Oops.
