One of the lawyers in the "Kraken" lawsuit says they can't be sanctioned for their failed effort to overturn Michigan's election, citing as authority "cases too numerous to mention and any attempt to string cite them here would be insulting to all involved."
The lawyer who filed this is actually represented by another lawyer at this point, but the lawyer for the lawyer didn't file it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
This is the whole purpose of an e.g. cite.
For those wondering about the claims in the filing of new evidence of election fraud in Michigan, it's this, which isn't new ->
Relatives of Mike Flynn say in a new court filing that video of them reciting the QAnon phrase "where we go one we go all" was "not an oath of allegiance to QAnon, or any kind of oath at all. It was a simple, family, July 4 statement of support for each other."
Flynn's relatives, who previously appeared to flirt with QAnon online, now say in court: "It is common knowledge that Nazis, white supremacists and adherents of QAnon are violent extremists. ...To imply that a person is a Nazi sympathizer or a 'QANON FOLLOWER' is the same thing."
One of the last remaining lawsuits seeking to overturn the 2020 election ("Gondor II") seems to have run into a snag. The plaintiffs' lawyer says he used to have evidence to prove their case, but doesn't anymore because of a "saboteur in their own camp."
He then goes about impeaching the person who was going to provide all the evidence to prove the case (and also apparently raise money for other lawyers).
You may recall that this was the case in which a lawyer in Texas asked a court to basically throw out two of the three branches of government, lock in President Trump's policies and assume control of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
An investigation led by Michigan Republican lawmakers found no basis for claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
"The Committee found no evidence of widespread or systemic fraud."
The Justice Department told lawyers for @usatoday on Saturday that it is withdrawing a subpoena seeking information about readers who accessed a particular article. An official said the FBI has identified a suspect "via other means."
DOJ's decision to withdraw the subpoena came right around the same time it said it would no longer secretly try to obtain records of reporters' communications.
Pillow magnate Mike Lindell says he'll file a lawsuit tomorrow against election machine firms Dominion and Smartmatic, which he falsely claims rigged the 2020 election.
"There's going to be stuff in this lawsuit that is going to ... stuff that's not been done before."
Update: Lindell filed it today.
He's boasted that this suit will prompt the Supreme Court to overturn the election, 9-0. It won't, because 1) he sued private parties that don't have the power to do that even if the court ordered it and; 2) he's only seeking monetary damages.
The Justice Department redacted the names of the news organizations. It's been reported previously that CNN and NBC each paid $35,000. And the description of this $10,000 payment to Sullivan pretty clearly refers to The @washingtonpost.
