WASHINGTON, July 12 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Monday appeared likely to reprimand Sidney Powell, a former campaign lawyer for Donald Trump, and other attorneys over a lawsuit they filed in Michigan seeking to overturn Democratic President Joe Biden's election victory.
U.S. District Judge Linda Parker in Detroit suggested the pro-Trump lawyers should have investigated the Republican former president's voter fraud claims more carefully before suing.
"Should an attorney be sanctioned for his or her failure to withdraw allegations the attorney came to know were untrue?," Parker said during a court hearing via video conference. "Is that sanctionable behavior?"
She said she thought affidavits in the case had been submitted in "bad faith."
Parker held the hearing to determine whether Powell, Lin Wood and other pro-Trump lawyers should be disciplined for a lawsuit they filed last November that made baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the U.S. presidential election in Michigan.
They are not the only lawyers allied with Trump to land in hot water for supporting his false claims that his election defeat was the result of fraud. New York state and Washington, D.C., in recent weeks suspended former New York City Mayor and Trump confidant Rudy Giuliani's law license after finding he lied in supporting Trump's claims.
Parker dismissed the Michigan lawsuit last December, saying in a written decision that Powell's voter fraud claims were "nothing but speculation and conjecture" and that, in any event, the Texas lawyer waited too long to file her lawsuit.

If they are pushing such challenges out of the legal system, they won’t like where this is ultimately headed.
A lawless society always has other more serious options available.
Oh, that is so cute.
Powell: Here are our allegations and here is the evidence.
Judge: am not going to hear them because of some technicality.
Powell: If you don’t hear them, then how can you tell their veracity?
Judge: I can’t and you are sanctioned because they are not true.
She looks like as big bitch as I would have expected.
I’ve heard Judge Linda Parker identifies as Roland Freisle.
Good. I hope the judge throws the book at them. The information these lawyers provided was highly misleading and just plain wrong.
Hee Hawwwww!
Hee Hawwwww!
Hee Hawwwww!
Hee Hawwwww!
Dang, that needs EYE WARNING.... UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLY
It stands to reason. Judge Linda Parker is another Obama appointee.
During the Tet Offensive the Communists had extensive lists of its enemies . During the brief time they had before they got crushed they managed to murder many of their enemies. The CIA was schocked at how many they managed to kill in the brief time they had .
I wouldn’t assign this fat stupid cow to judge how many donuts should go into a one dozen dounut box.
The Communist Purge Is Growing Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!

You are correct.

In case you missed it.. l lin wood is throwing powell under the bus
And for that idiot who claimed i was just jealous of her...ummm...did you read her filing that said no reasonable person would have believed her
Facists!
Unipartarians!
This type of lawfare is that happens when you don’t have an opposition party that will substantively oppose it.
No judge would even broach this issue had the GOP lit rockets on the lying and criminal Dems for Spygate, impeachment hoax 1.0 and 2.0, etc. The Dems have the green light from the GOP to assault Trump supporters and actions like this are the result of that.
Domestic enemies of the USA don’t follow any laws or the constitution. What they say goes. I keep telling people the country is under occupation by enemy forces and they think I’m going overboard. No I am not. Right now we have people in solitary confinement who were merely in the area of the capitol building Jan. 6th and they’re probably going to be there till next year. They are being falsely accused of insurrection and are being used as an example for anyone who dares protest against these enemies. These are political prisoners, this is crap Castro use to do. They are also doing everything they can to destroy local police and create a national police force, their own “Sturmabteilung” as another move towards creating a totalitarian police state. This has been going on for a while, but it was Obama who put it into high gear. This is why the founding father did not want foreign born individuals serving as POTUS. Stock up on ammo.
Has Sydney Powell said the allegations were untrue, or is this just fascism?
They can’t do that without examining the proof.
Anyone who still has a Twitter (I've been suspended again) Can you please tell this frog-faced b**ch to go shove her BS where the sun don't shine??
in that same hearing, lin wood disavowed any involvement in the lawsuit.
lol.
build a tent over that circus.
The claims were never adjudicated. No legal finding that they were baseless, and the lies continue.
