The team of “Kraken” attorneys who sought to overturn the 2020 election “scorned their oath, flouted the rules, and attempted to undermine the integrity of the judiciary along the way,” according to a Wednesday opinion from a Detroit federal judge.
May this particular moment on this particular day be repeated over & over again in courtrooms across the country
More of this please. We have been so patient.
Pro Tip: Do not get crosswise with a federal judge.
“And this case was never about fraud—it was about undermining the People’s faith in our democracy and debasing the judicial process to do so,” Parker wrote.
The truth will set us free. (Some free-er than others. )
I had to check, Obama appointed.
I gotta love the fact that the judge wants them disbarred AND to go back to school.
Nice to know at least one person with some power sees the Goober bullshit like I have. Now if that would just translate into disbarment and prison time.
And off they go
IMHO those sanctions are too kind. These wackos should be brought up on criminal charges and jailed.
Oh, well. They can always get a job mopping up the hair dye off of Rudy Giuliani’s forehead.
6 hours education in pleading and 6 hours education in election law. heh
OT, but I’ve found the perfect GIF to explain what our Afghanistan strategy should have been from the get-go and why Biden is so 100% right about what he’s doing, collateral damage be damned, that the entire neocon military industrial complex, including the entirety of the US media that is most definitely part of it, has lost their everloving fucking minds. Ready? Show us proper Afghanistan invasion strategy, Little Johnny!
That’s right…OMFG OOPS REVERSE COURSE!!!..indeed…
“We have practiced law with the highest standards — we would file the same complaints again,” Powell said at the hearing.
The only thing that proves is that she might have an insanity claim.
How can this get spread around to those who need to see it? TPM? No, NYT? No. WAPO? No. NPR? No.
FOX News, OAN, etc, etc, etc…no
How can this info get out to those who really need to see it?
Someone needs to “kraken” the whip on these criminal miscreants, including Giuliani.
Hey, if they get disbarred, maybe Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman can afford to hire them to help them to get out of paying their $5M fine!
That fine levied against Wohl and Burman yesterday + this news about the Kraken team today is giving me the good feels.
Powell said at the hearing that she would do it all over again.
“We have practiced law with the highest standards — we would file the same complaints again” . . .
As an attorney, I find it shocking that any officer of the court would say that out loud. Doesn’t pass the “straight face” test. Powell reveals through her own words that she’s either mendacious or incompetent (or both).
Parker… referred them for “at least twelve (12) hours of continuing legal education in the subjects of pleading standards (at least six hours total) and election law (at least six hours total).”
Kraken Team lawyers, whining, in unison: “But, that’s more time than we spent studying law to begin with!”
Yup. I assume that line will come up during disbarment proceedings.
