DENVER - A federal judge has ordered two lawyers who filed a class action lawsuit alleging the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump to pay more than $180,000 in attorney’s fees for defendants Dominion Voting Systems, Facebook and others, saying the lawsuit was intended to manipulate "gullible members of the public" and helped spur the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
The now-dismissed suit relied on baseless conspiracy theories spread by the former president and his supporters. It named elected officials in four swing states, Facebook and Denver-based Dominion, whose election machines were at the center of some of the most fevered speculation.
U.S. Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter ruled in August that attorneys Gary D. Fielder and Ernest J. Walker should pay penalties. Neureiter’s Monday order, first reported by Colorado Politics, awarded individual fees — but he stayed the awards pending an appeal of the dismissed lawsuit to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
The penalties included $62,930 to Dominion and $50,000 to Facebook, which the suit alleged censored conservative voices leading up to the election.

Screw the defendants. 🙂
This judge is a liberal jackarse.
Sustain the Steal, eh, judge?
CORRUPT DEMOCRAT JUDGES!!! ALL OF OUR GOVT IS TOTALLY CORRUPT!!!
Where is the jury trial, and the chance for discovery.
The justice system has gone insane when a judge can simply start extorting money from people.
Hey wasn’t Mike Lindell supposed to come out with something today? What happened to it?
Soros of Murder..
I want someone to change everyone else's mind who believes differently.
While district judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate for lifetime tenure, magistrate judges are appointed by a majority vote of the federal district judges of a particular district and serve terms of eight years if full-time, or four years if part-time, and may be reappointed.
“ HOW CAN THIS BE, WHEN SO MANY OF US ARE CONVINCED THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN? “
The courts were stolen first.
What about penalties for those who committed fraud her frauline?
I don’t understand how none of these judges will touch allegations of fraud. At least look at the evidence, for heaven’s sake. It’s very disappointing. And it’s not like we can write to them and complain.
Trump’s own party won’t touch allegations of fraud. All these judges see that. They won’t stick their necks out when his own party won’t support him.
Colorado was even dirtier than Pennsylvania in the 2020 "election", if that's possible.
Dirty Jena Griswold made sure of The Colorado Steal, and stooges like this guy are helping bury the bodies.
The chief stooge of the District of Colorado at that time was Marcia S. Krieger, a Dubya squish with a very iffy record on the bench.
This is so that when the Democrats steal future elections, people will be afraid to challenge the results fearing financial ruin.
Next time forget the legal system, use guns instead. This ruling is meant to send a message to others and it will work.
In a Democrat-run liberal city struggling to equal the depravity of Portland, Seattle, and San-Pelosishitsco? Like one might even think of trusting that judge.
Yep. Totally agree.
Along with Secretaries of State. Conservatives missed both and never realized the consequences until it was too late. The 2020 steal was years in the making. No one thought the vote fraud would be so publicly in-your-face and that so many would go along with it until it was too late.
Trump's greatest public service was showing the public just how deep the corruption in government really is.
The only good communist is a dead communist...
Whether it's the communists falsely calling themselves Democrats or Socialists or Progressives or Left Wing Liberals,
or
politically-blind Freepers and other naive citizens referring to them as Democrats or Socialists or Progressives or Left Wing Liberals,
it is a large part of how the communists were able to impose the tyranny under which we now endure these chains & shackles...
