The City of Detroit wants Sidney Powell and her self-styled “Kraken” team to face sanctions for “frivolously undermining ‘People’s faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government.'”
The Motor City’s motion asks a federal judge to fine the lawyers, ban them from practicing in the Eastern District in Michigan and refer them to the Wolverine State’s bar for grievance proceedings.
“It’s time for this nonsense to end,” Detroit’s lawyer David Fink told Law&Crime in a phone interview.
“The lawyers filing these frivolous cases that undermine democracy must pay a price,” Fink added.
Under standard procedures for Rule 11 sanctions, opposing counsel must be granted a 21-day window to withdraw offending litigation before a request is filed in court. The motion has not yet been filed, and it was briefly tweeted out by Marc Elias, an attorney from the Washington-based firm Perkins Coie who has regularly intervened in these cases on behalf of the Democratic Party and the Biden campaign.
“Plaintiffs and their counsel understood that the mere filing of a suit (no matter how frivolous) could, without any evidence, raise doubts in the minds of millions of Americans about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election,” Fink’s 9-page motion states. “As this Court noted, ‘Plaintiffs ask th[e] Court to ignore the orderly statutory scheme established to challenge elections and to ignore the will of millions of voters.'”
Fink had been quoting a scathing ruling by U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, who dismissed Powell’s litigation with a resounding invocation of the will of the Michigan electorate: “The People have spoken.”

Nope but I am now sadly resigned to my fait. My age will determine how long I will live in it. No man should live long enough to see the death of freedom.
That is a tall order especially if they won't go and I doubt they would. In the end those cheering troops will take orders from their immediate commanders not the President.
Just the place for a Snark!” the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
“Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.”
Yes, the criminals are saying it’s illegal to expose them. They write the laws. Powell will be going to jail. They’ll get her for jaywalking or whatever. The only satisfaction we will get is because they think they are smart and are not, they will over do it. Learn to speak Chinese.
A true scholar!
Detroit seems like a cesspool way overdue for a cleaning. Their demented and deformed idea of “justice” is just pathetic. I doubt they can even spell the words “law” or “legal”.
Very true statement.
Queen Indeed.
Well Said.
The Jury we must convince is the State Representatives.
Enough!
This worldwide tragedy could be fixed in minutes if Joe and K would simply concede. Joe would look like a hero. K could give well-paid talks to university audiences, and the greatness of the greatest nation in history could rise to new heights.
Instead, not even a call for action to restore election integrity.
Concede now, J and K.
I’m good with that.👍
They won’t, they have already been paid huge sums of money for what they are doing. They will never admit defeat.
Marc Elias was involved in setting up teams of lawyers all around the country prior to the election.
He is slime.
“they have already been paid huge sums of money for what they are doing”
That is a very important point when trying to understand why they do what they do. Thanks for reminding us.
Cut off their sources of money—everything changes. They are about nothing if not greed.
Dan Abrams. ROFLMAO!
“Marc Elias”
I remember the other efforts by LawFare. Distorted weaponized legal process.
