ney pulled a no-no with her unregistered so-called charity.

Too bad that $15k fine is probably nothing compared to what she has raised, cost of doing business.

[Foggy]

Now I wonder if they're taking similar action against Lauren Witzke, and that's why Wells Fargo took the $15,000 (her life savings, boo hoo) and moved it into their "Loss Prevention" account. If the fine is $15K, all the ducks are neatly lined up in a row, n'est ce pas?

“A New York Supreme Court on August 17 will hear arguments from Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Fox Corporation in their bid for the dismissal of a $2.7 billion defamation case brought by Smartmatic.
The election-technology company said in its February complaint that the defendants — including Fox News and hosts Jeanine Pirro, Maria Bartiromo, and Lou Dobbs — spread disinformation about the November 2020 presidential election.
The arguments are set for 9:30 a.m. in front of Judge David Benjamin Cohen, according to the court.”

Any IAALs want to weigh in on their chances of success? I will be horrified if it's dismissed, but I figure it will go better if I have two months to prepare.

Michigan Judge Refuses to Allow Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and Other ‘Kraken’ Attorneys to Skip Sanctions Hearing
ADAM KLASFELD Jul 7th, 2021, 5:31 pm 19

Mere hours after lawyers for the so-called “Kraken” litigation to overturn the 2020 presidential election asked to skip attending an upcoming sanctions hearing, a federal judge in Michigan refused to budge from her earlier order. Those “Kraken” lawyers must personally attend those proceedings via Zoom. One of the most visible efforts to torpedo the 2020 presidential election results, the “Kraken” team is the name given by pro-Donald Trump lawyer Sidney Powell to lawsuits meant to overturn President Joe Biden’s victories in Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia. The emphatic failure of that heady and multi-armed legal offensive has left a hangover—with potential serious consequences—for every lawyer who participated in it. The State of Michigan and the City of Detroit have requested heavy sanctions for the “Kraken” lawyers, up to their referral for disbarment proceedings.

Scheduling a hearing to consider those motions, U.S. District Judge Linda Parker wrote a terse order last month: “Each attorney whose name appears on any of Plaintiffs’ pleadings or briefs shall be present at the motions hearing.” Originally scheduled for last week, Judge Parker pushed the hearing back two weeks to accommodate the July 4th vacation plans of one of the lawyers, Stefanie Junttila. After Junttila won that brief allowance, her colleagues Powell, Lin Wood, Scott Hagerstrom, Julia Haller, Brandon Johnson, Howard Kleinhendler, and Gregory Rohl sought to avoid appearing entirely, other than through their lawyer. “Since the Court entered that order, however, Movants retained counsel,” their lawyer Donald Campbell wrote in a motion on Wednesday. “They therefore ask the Court to indicate whether they may appear via counsel.”

Judge Parker rejected the request without fanfare hours later via in a minute order which proclaimed the request was “DENIED.” In December, Judge Parker was similarly straightforward in rejecting those lawyers’ requests to overturn the election results in Michigan. Plaintiffs ask this court to ignore the orderly statutory scheme established to challenge elections and to ignore the will of millions of voters,” she wrote in a ruling late last year. “This, the Court cannot, and will not, do.” “The People have spoken,” she added.

At the heart of the Michigan “Kraken” lawsuit—filed in the names of six Michigan residents, led by Timothy King—was an idea that the judge found antagonistic to the nation’s democratic experiment. The lawsuit, King v. Whitmer, took the names of that plaintiff resident and of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). “The right to vote is among the most sacred rights of our democracy and, in turn, uniquely defines us as Americans,” Parker’s 36-page opinion stated. “The struggle to achieve the right to vote is one that has been both hard fought and cherished throughout our country’s history. Local, state, and federal elections give voice to this right through the ballot. And elections that count each vote celebrate and secure this cherished right.” Detroit’s lawyer David Fink accused lawyers for the “Kraken” team of “lies,” “unhinged conspiracy theories,” and “fraud on the court.” The “Kraken” in strict parlance is a mythical, octopus-like monster. It received the Hollywood treatment in various iterations over the years under the name “Clash of the Titans.” The creature was quickly slain in the movies — and in the courts.

The sanctions hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 13.

The Judge should just grant the Motions for Sanctions. Maybe she should talk to Clay Land.

TY Uninformed! Oh yeahhhh. From that story:

Resolving a handful of other motions, Judge Parker set aside remaining motions to dismiss the matter as moot because the “Kraken” team voluntarily withdrew their lawsuit after their first stinging defeat late last year. Detroit sought to secure judicial notice of a Republican-led Michigan Senate Oversight report affirming that election fraud claims were bogus, but Judge Parker found any additional material would be unnecessary to decide the matter before her.

“The Court does not require supplemental briefing to assess its ability to sanction Attorney L. Lin Wood in this case,” she wrote.

Every lawyer who signed pleadings or briefs for the “Kraken” team in Michigan must appear via Zoom at Monday’s hearing, including Wood, Powell, Stefanie Junttila, Scott Hagerstrom, Julia Haller, Brandon Johnson, Howard Kleinhendler, and Gregory Rohl.

And on Telegram, the Squid says Michigan is TERRIFIED! Reminded me of how Realist and I PANIC!

Never a bad time for Sidney to anti-vax.

Sidney Powell , [09.07.21 18:09]
It’s all about money for politicians and big The top pharmaceutical lobbyist in the 2020 elections was Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), which spent $25.9 million at the state and federal level.
Big Pharma targets bipartisan lawmakers in influential positions who can affect decisions that affect the industry. Once elected, they are tempted with lucrative job promises after leaving office, known as the “revolving door.”
Companies form political action committees to circumvent laws that prohibit corporations from donating directly to candidates. Money can be legally shuffled to support their candidate’s reelection.
The industry has benefited from a public opinion reversal during the pandemic, moving from criticism over drug prices in early 2019 to becoming popular again in the vaccine effort.
Although the cost of drugs is not the center of media attention, Big Pharma has not lowered prices and continues to push for higher revenue.

Thread about today's sanction hearings


Lin wood is throwing powell under the bus. Everyone is trying to distance themselves from this.

I had no involvement, I just signed it? How is that supposed to fly? Ya put yer name to it.

Dunford is live tweeting the hearing as well. Klasfield had to go to another hearing!! It's a bit hard to follow Mike's tweets but it doesn't appear to be going too well for the Kraken.

Oh it's not going well at all. Reading through Klasfield's thread the kraken team keeps getting caught in lies.

[Dr. Ken]

I love the part about the kraken team claiming that they weren't giving proper notice when Sidney Powell had been tweeting about the complaint.

Fink appears to be highly competent. This is consistent with the Motion for Sanctions he filed. He has all of the facts at his fingertips. The Judge keeps asking if a lawyer can be sanctioned for failure to correct falsehoods. Hello?

Lin says it doesn't count because it doesn't have his email address or a /s for his signature and he is getting lumped in when he didn't agree to appear, particularly with respect to rule 11. "It certainly doesn't apply to me."

A Federal Judge Holds ‘Kraken’ Lawyers’ Feet to the Fire at Sanctions Hearing. Lin Wood Tried to Distance Himself from It All.

[Dr. Ken]

The judge keeps asking them about the affidavits they filed and what vetting was done on them. The pattern is the same they pretty much did no due diligence and took them at face value before presenting them in court.
