The judge imposed a series of sanctions against lawyers involved in one of Powell’s “Kraken” cases in Michigan.
Sidney Powell conducts a news conference at the Republican National Committee on Nov. 19, 2020.
“This lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process,” Parker wrote. “It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an allegedly fraudulent election. It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. This is what happened here.
Parker wrote that Powell and the team of lawyers who had put their names on court filings in the Michigan case violated their obligations to the court and the ethical rules they were bound to follow as licensed attorneys.
Parker wrote that the lawyers’ conduct had left her with no choice but to impose sanctions — it was the only way to preserve the “sanctity” of the courtroom and legal process. Parker dismissed the case on Dec. 7, finding it was not only legally deficient for a number of reasons, but also that the challengers were likely to fail on the merits of their claims about the lawfulness of the state’s election practices and rebuffing the baseless fraud claims. Powell and several other attorneys on her team then tried to petition the US Supreme Court to step in, a legal effort that went nowhere.
