Sidney Powell, ‘Kraken’ Lawyers Ask Appeals Court to Reverse ‘Intemperate’ Sanctions Order: We’re Not ‘Overwrought, Dangerous Lunatics’

 

Indignant about what they describe as their portrayals as “overwrought, dangerous lunatics,” attorney Sidney Powell and her fellow “Kraken” lawyers asked a federal appeals court on Monday to reverse an “intemperate” sanctions order aiming at their law licenses.

 

Roughly half a year ago, a federal judge in Michigan referred Powell and eight of her co-counsel for possible disbarment because of their “historic and profound abuse of the judicial process”—namely, their litigation to overturn results of the 2020 presidential election.

 

“It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an allegedly fraudulent election,” U.S. District Judge Linda Parker wrote in a 110-page order last August. “It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. This is what happened here.”

 

For Parker, the litigation was “never about fraud”—but instead about “undermining the People’s faith in our democracy and debasing the judicial process to do so.”

 

“The District Court has improved upon Voltaire’s observation that ‘[t]yrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them’: It managed to shred the Constitution at the very same time it wrapped itself in the flag,” the conclusion of their 85-page appeal brief to the Sixth Circuit begins.

 

Judge Parker was hardly alone in finding Powell’s outlandish theories of an international plot to deprive former President Donald Trump of a second term baseless. Her “Kraken” lawsuits, named after the mythical, octopus-like monster dramatized in Hollywood’s “Clash of the Titans,” failed in every state where they were filed: Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona. She now faces a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems and possible disciplinary proceedings threatening potential suspension or disbarment.

 

Every lawyer who participated in the Michigan litigation with Powell and Kleinhendler also faces a bar referral, including Lin Wood, Julia Haller, Emily Newman, Brandon Johnson, Scott Hagerstrom, Gregory Rohl, and Stefanie Lynn Junttila. Only Haller, Rohl, Johnson and Hagerstrom joined Powell and Kleinhendler’s brief.

Sioux City still trying to get paid $11,000 for Trump rally

 

After a fair amount of haggling, Sioux City officials were able to get the people planning a rally featuring former President Donald Trump to pay a $5,000 bill the day before last month's event, but the city is still waiting on the U.S. Secret Service and event planners to reimburse more than $11,000 in other rally costs.

 

The Sioux City Journal reports that 136 pages of emails it obtained from the city show that officials went back and forth with representatives of Event Strategies Inc. for days before that company paid the $5,000 rental fee it agreed to for the use of several city parking lots for the Nov. 3 airport rally. Two top Iowa Republicans who were both up for re-election, Gov. Kim Reynolds and U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, both appeared at the event.

 

The biggest outstanding bill related to the rally is the $10,002.38 charge for police officers to staff the event that the Secret Service agreed to pay. City Finance Director Teresa Fitch said the city hadn’t been reimbursed for that as of Tuesday.

 

The other lingering bill is a $1,425 charge that Event Strategies is supposed to pay for having emergency medical services on standby at the rally.

I think so too. But others have told me it's not. If I were making a fake persona for this thing it would be him. Well, maybe closer to a Candace Owens who might as well be Colbert Show parody too.
