Obama’s lawyer basically stated in his letter that Judge Malihi has lost control. This will infuriate Malihi
It will most likely not infuriate Justice Malihi. He has seen this tactic before. All judges have. Any justice will tell you these legally-mischeveous attempts are very revealing. They sometimes perform a "squeeze play" to get a feel for guilt, and the implied admission thereof.
Malihi now knows there is merit to the plaintiffs' cases. His superiors also know, and I am sure they have discussed the issue with the Secretary of State already.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
GA SOS Brian Kemp's letter to Michael Jablonski tells me Kemp's been informed just like you said.
