The city of Detroit on Tuesday night filed its request for a federal judge to impose sanctions against attorney Sidney Powell and other pro-Trump lawyers involved in the infamous “Kraken” election fraud lawsuit, as those involved in the president’s post election challenges begin to face calls for legal consequences from multiple angles. ...
“These are the lawyers who are trying to use this court’s processes to validate their conspiracy theories and to support their goal of overturning the will of the people in a free and fair election,” says the lawsuit, arguing that the Trump-linked legal team chose not to withdraw it to help Trump’s continued challenges: “They were given an opportunity to dismiss or amend their Complaint, but they chose to continue to use this case to spread their false messages.
Detroit is seeking sanctions under federal rule 11, which requires that lawyers must not make cases in court “for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation.” While it’s typically uncommon for a court to impose these types of sanctions, several legal experts told“It is true that discipline or Rule 11-type sanctions for filing frivolous complaints are unusual but they do happen,” leading ethics expert Stephen Gillers, a professor at New York University Law School, toldwhen Detroit first signaled its intention to file the motion. “ The rule is not toothless. There is a bar. These lawyers appear to have crossed it.” that he’s hoping to set an example.
If you were falsely accused, wouldnt you want the accuser to go to court to look like a fool? Of course. If not, youre afraid something will be found. Let that sink in, Dems. I know you all fail at critical thinking, but try it sometime.
