Attorneys including Sidney Powell and Lin Wood will have to pay more than $175,000 in attorneys fees to Michigan officials and the city of Detroit, a federal judge ruled Thursday, as part of sanctions the court had previously imposed against the attorneys for their lawsuit attempting to overturn the presidential election results.
U.S. District Judge Linda Parker ordered the nine attorneys to pay $21,964.75 to the state of Michigan, on behalf of defendants Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and $153,285.62 to the city of Detroit.
Parker had previously sanctioned Powell, Wood and their co-counsel in August for their post-election lawsuit alleging widespread election fraud, which Parker ruled was “a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process,” but did not specify a dollar amount until now.
While Parker awarded the Michigan defendants the exact amount they asked for, the city of Detroit was awarded slightly less than the $182,192 it requested, as the judge disputed several minor ways in which the city calculated its total fees.
In addition to the attorneys’ fees, Parker also ordered the attorneys to undergo at least 12 hours of “continuing legal education” on pleading standards and election law, and referred the attorneys to disciplinary boards where they’re licensed “for investigation and possible suspension or disbarment.”
Donald Campbell, an attorney representing Powell and other counsel in the case, has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Powell and her co-counsel could still appeal Parker’s ruling, which would put her order on hold and keep the lawyers from having to pay the fees as the litigation plays out.
“This case was never about fraud—it was about undermining the People’s faith in our democracy and debasing the judicial process to do so,” Parker wrote in her August sanctions ruling.

Powell is going to drop a nuke on dat @ss. She’s one of the most brilliant lawyers right now.
Another example of corruption. As if leftwing lawyers don’t file bogus suits every day.
Where has that “nuke” been for the last year?
Does Kenosha have to pay Kyle Rittenhouse?
WTH?!
Linda V. Parker is one of the worst of the Odiousbama stooge-judges.
Thats what happens when you try to bluff. I am an avid Trump Supporter and a true believer in the election fraud. When no one has been arrested the DS can do whatever they please.
She gonna Release The Nuken?
Yeah, at this rate, she might surpass Orly Taitz, but she'll never be at Lin Wood's level! /s
She's a Leftwing stooge, installed by the Queen of Man's Country himself.
The trouble with the theft of the election is that the conspirators had all their pieces in position on the chessboard beforehand, and there wasn't a thing anyone could do about it.
The Wayne County judges were Democrats, this federal stooge is from the Eastern District, because that's the jurisdiction for the case.
Of course, the Michigan Assistant Democrats helped out, too.
Doed Schiff have to payback the American taxpayers?
Normally, the Pubbies didn't fight too hard against Clownbammy's appointees.
“Where has that “nuke” been for the last year?”
The Kraken has it in his under water lair.
Normally Pubbies don't fight. Why bother. The dims are happy to have them because they go along better with the democratic party positions than a lot of democrats do. Whereas democrats are always looking for something for their constituents, our pubbies just want a taste for themselves.
He has a far better $10 million case against the city than Lefty Grosskreutz does
Good. I want Sydney to refund me the money I wasted on her book. Kraken indeed.
Ask Judge Louis Gohmert who the Kraken are. And take your meds.
Fear not. Engelbrecht's grenade is about to go off any day now.
