American Warrior… Attorney Sidney Powell and every other lawyer who filed a lawsuit to support President Trump’s claims about the 2020 election fraud, were recently summoned by a judge to sanctions hearing in Michigan.
According to court documents filed on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Linda Parker ordered Powell, who filed a series of third-party lawsuits in Michigan and other states, and every other lawyer to show up at a July 6 hearing.
“Each attorney whose name appears on any of Plaintiffs’ pleadings or briefs shall be present at the motion hearing set for July 6, 2021” at 2 p.m. ET in Detroit, the single-line order from Parker read. It concerned a lawsuit, King v. Whitmer, which was filed last year and alleged that Biden’s victory was the result of fraud and asked electors in Michigan to discard the certification of the state’s results.
After the election, Parker sided with Michigan state officials and wrote an opinion that the relief being sought in King v. Whitmer, referring to Gov Gretchen Whitmer, “would disenfranchise the votes of the more than 5.5 million Michigan citizens.”
The other lawyers who are forced to appear in court are Greg Rohl, Scott Hagerstrom, and Stefanie Junttila.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, asked the court in January to sanction Powell and alleged she, Rohl, Hagerstrom, and Junttila ‘pursued a frivolous lawsuit’ in ‘violation of their oaths as attorneys.’
The City of Detroit in December 2020 also had urged the court to sanction Powell.
In response to a separate defamation lawsuit, lawyers for Powell, a former federal prosecutor who successfully defended retired Lt. Gen Michael Flynn, argued that her remarks about the Nov. 3 election are protected under the Constitution.
Powell’s comments to media outlets about the election were of public concern and are, therefore, not defamatory, her lawyers noted.
“There can be no doubt that the statements at issue here relate to matters of public concern,” Powell’s lawyers stated.
