A handful of Republican lawyers involved with litigation around the 2020 election have claimed that Trump diehard Sidney Powell added their names to her clownish election lawsuits without their permission, or inflated their involvement in the Big Lie cause.
Well in other fighting back news the Stupidest Person On the Internet and his brother are being sued by two Georgia election workers.
The lawsuit alleges that the Pundit’s “lies” about Freeman and Moss “devastated” their reputations and “instigated a deluge of intimidation, harassment, and threats that has forced them to change their phone numbers, delete their online accounts, and fear for their physical safety.” the suit says. Freeman went into hiding.
With the exception of the guy who said he found out about this through social media (presuming he’s telling the truth), the lawyers are all probably lying. Lawyers do not allow their name to be attached to a legal brief without their permission, as doing that connects them to a case where they have no interest…any actions that come from it fall on them as well. It’s also wrong to put a lawyer in a case without their consent, press sure the Bar takes action if you attach someone to your case unknowingly.
These lawyers read the briefs and/or agreed to have their name attached…now that there are consequences they are scrambling to say that they weren’t involved. They deserve the sanctions coming their way, because they were participating in all of this stuff and onboard with stealing the election.
For those that claimed they were not part of the suit BEFORE the litigation…I can have some sympathy for, but not for the ones who are trying to run from it after the fact. They had plenty of time to disassociate themselves before that and didn’t.
I see all of this argle bargle with Flynn and Linn, Flynn and Q, and now Linn and Powell as the beginning of the end of Q and the Big Lie. Sure, Trump will flog the fuck out of it until his dying day, but what “works” for Trump has rarely applied to everyone else. Which is why we saw almost no attempt to claim election fraud or challenge results after the fact in any race this year. A number of these people are in legal jeopardy (both civil and financial) and the legal ramifications may be finally outweighing the grift. Plus, the Q loyalists seem to be finally turning on each other and in a big way. JFK’s Dallas no show following all the blown reinstatement dates seem to be leading these assholes to one giant circular firing squad. I’m good with that.
Other than the rather perverse entertainment value of watching these folks going after each other in public (not all that entertaining, actually) there’s nothing much here. This gets down to a case of which known liars you prefer to believe while knowing that the actual truth is largely irrelevant.
