    The U.S. Supreme Court, in a recent decision, declined to overturn sanctions imposed on a group of pro-Trump lawyers, including Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, who initiated a legal challenge to the 2020 presidential election results in Michigan. The Supreme Court’s decision, issued on February 20, upheld the sanctions against seven attorneys involved in the lawsuit, which sought emergency relief by challenging the validity of mail ballots and questioning Michigan’s electoral college votes.

    The failed legal action was part of a series of “Kraken” lawsuits led by Sidney Powell, aiming to contest the outcome of the 2020 election. The lawsuit proposed drastic measures, such as eliminating all mail ballots from the vote count and disqualifying Michigan’s electoral college votes. Furthermore, it called for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer to declare Donald Trump as the election winner.

    In August 2021, U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, a nominee of President Barack Obama, deemed the Michigan election challenge lawsuit “frivolous” and a “historic and profound abuse of the judicial process.” Judge Parker ordered Powell and the other lawyers to pay a $175,000 penalty, stating that Powell had waited too long to file the lawsuit, and the voter fraud claims lacked substance. Additionally, she referred the lawyers to their respective bar associations for disciplinary proceedings.

    Despite the imposition of sanctions, Powell argued in court filings that her actions were reasonable, and she had thoroughly vetted the election fraud claims before initiating the lawsuit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit upheld both the monetary and disciplinary sanctions in June 2023 but reduced the monetary penalty to approximately $150,000.

    Powell and her colleagues sought a rehearing en banc, asserting that the sanctions set a precedent discouraging zealous advocacy and hindered the willingness of counsel to take on controversial cases. However, in August 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit denied their request for a rehearing.

    In November 2023, Powell and the other attorneys appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that the sanctions violated their First Amendment rights and raised procedural and substantive due process concerns. Despite their contentions, the Supreme Court’s denial of certiorari affirmed the sanctions.

    Both Powell and the other lawyers were unavailable for immediate comment. They consistently maintained in court filings that they adhered to ethical rules and asserted the impropriety of the sanctions.

    Lin Wood, one of the attorneys involved, had previously distanced himself from the Michigan lawsuit, stating that his name was included without his active participation. In July 2023, he announced his retirement from practicing law in Georgia rather than face disbarment.

    The legal fallout following the 2020 election extended beyond Powell and Wood. Other lawyers associated with President Trump faced disciplinary actions, including Jenna Ellis, who was censured by the Colorado Bar, and John Eastman, a former Trump attorney facing potential disbarment in California. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, another Trump ally, had his license suspended.

    Sidney Powell, in addition to the Michigan lawsuit, faced legal troubles in Georgia, where she accepted a plea bargain in October 2023. Powell pleaded guilty to six misdemeanors related to her efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential results in Georgia, including charges under the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The plea deal did not require her to plead guilty to the racketeering charge, and she paid $2,700 in restitution to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.  Georgia, a Deep State controlled state, could have ended the witch trials long ago, but Governor Kemp has done all that is needed to hurt Trump. Going after his lawyers is just another tool of the corrupt Deep State.  To this day there is a warehouse with 150K pristine ballots that all went for Biden, that were never even folded, yet were counted against Trump. Kempt refuses to let anyone see them, as it is further proof that Trump won the state and his corruption helped Biden do all that he is now doing to our nation.

    President Trump, also implicated in the Georgia case, pleaded not guilty and denounced the charges as an attempt to interfere in the 2024 presidential election. The legal developments surrounding these pro-Trump lawyers underscore the enduring controversies and legal repercussions stemming from the 2020 election.

    Major Points Discussed:

    • The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review sanctions imposed on pro-Trump lawyers, including Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, who filed a lawsuit challenging the 2020 presidential election results in Michigan.
    • The court upheld the sanctions, including a $150,000 penalty, against the lawyers involved in the “Kraken” lawsuit. The legal action sought to invalidate mail ballots and disqualify Michigan’s electoral college votes, with the aim of declaring Donald Trump the winner.
    • U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, who labeled the Michigan lawsuit as “frivolous,” criticized Powell for waiting too long to file the case and deemed the voter fraud claims as “speculation and conjecture.” The judge also referred the lawyers for disciplinary proceedings with their respective bar associations.
    • Despite attempts to appeal the sanctions, including a request for a rehearing en banc, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit upheld both monetary and disciplinary penalties. The subsequent appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was denied, affirming the sanctions.
    • Other lawyers associated with President Trump, such as Jenna Ellis and John Eastman, faced disciplinary actions. Sidney Powell accepted a plea deal in Georgia, pleading guilty to six misdemeanors related to challenging the 2020 election results, highlighting the broader legal fallout from pro-Trump election challenges.
