I don’t know what they would be suing them for - cause of action - I don’t know what it would be.

I am not a lawyer, but how does this work? Can they get sentenced in each state they broke the law? Presumably that would be consecutive jail terms, not concurrent?
Bit like if you went Bonnie & Clyde and robbed banks in multiple states - just because you got sentenced for robbing a bank in AZ doesn’t lessen the crime for robbing a bank in NV?
They’ll just grift for the fines, it’ll be easy to pay them off - jail time, not so much.

They were also on Ghislaine Maxwell’s payroll.
According to an LD-1 Disclosure Form filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate, J M Burkman and Associates–a lobbying firm owned by far-right activist Jack Burkman and co-run by Wohl–were hired by “Granite Realty [sic] LLC” in order to lobby on “[i]ssues relating to US DOJ, Senate Judiciary, [and the] House Judiciary.”
The form lists both Burkman and Wohl as lobbyists of record.
The description on the form reads equal terms expansive, vague and boilerplate; however, it is a far cry from previous reporting on the alleged Maxwell-Wohl relationship.
This filing would appear to corroborate a Tuesday morning story published by United Kingdom tabloid The Daily Mail which said that Wohl and Burkman were paid $25,000 by Maxwell in an effort to intimidate New York prosecutors and tar Epstein’s victims.
Per that report:
As part of a $25,000 deal made in June, Wohl and his lobbyist colleague Jack Burkman also allegedly pushed to get New York US Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who had led Epstein’s case, fired in order to stall or stop the criminal investigation into Maxwell.
“Her company Granite Realty [sic] LLC hired them to first get rid of the US Attorney Jeffrey [sic] Berman,” paralegal Kristin Spealman told the London-based outlet. “She wanted him fired. And then I guess she assumed the charges would go away or maybe she wouldn’t be prosecuted. I think that was the goal.”

None of Fox’ entertainment shows (not news, they said so themselves) instructed anyone to storm the capitol.
Maybe someone needs to hold them responsible?
Hold them, yes. In the usual small cold cell. They’re flight risks, after all. “Honest, judge, I didn’t mean to drive into Canada, it’s just we were in northern Michigan, and you see it was kind of a windy road…”

“If you listen to the calls, there is nothing threatening about any of the calls.”
Nothing at all threatening about racists targeting African-Americans with false warnings that it might not be safe to vote.

I wonder who she wanted smeared, her victims or the prosecutor Berman?
Notably, however, the effective date of representation on the lobbying disclosure form is July 3 — the day after Maxwell was taken into custody under disputed circumstances.
This is most likely them cleaning up a detail once the federal shit hit the fan.

That would be something. It’s a little hard to drive to Canada from northern Michigan. There’s just a smidgen of water in the way.

Since Ms. James made her request to a federal judge, it would appear that it is a federal case.
But IANAL, and I could very easily be wrong about that.
