Trump Lawyers Must Pay for Abusing Michigan’s Court System with Bogus Election Lawsuit

From the AP:

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Nine lawyers allied with former President Donald Trump were ordered Thursday to pay Detroit and Michigan a total of $175,000 in sanctions for abusing the court system with a sham lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results.

The money, which must be paid within 30 days, will cover the legal costs of defending against the suit, which was more than $153,000 for the city and nearly $22,000 for the state.

U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, who agreed to impose sanctions in August in a scathing opinion, rejected most of the attorneys’ objections to Detroit’s proposed award, but she did reduce it by about $29,000. Those sanctioned include Sidney Powell, L. Lin Wood (shown above), and seven other lawyers who were part of the lawsuit filed on behalf of six Republican voters after Joe Biden’s 154,000-vote victory over Trump.

Aren’t these people ashamed of themselves?

Probably not.  If they had any sense of shame whatsoever, they wouldn’t be involved with the Big Lie, i.e., the falsehood that continues to tear our society apart.  Approximately 50 million people still believe that our elections are rigged and that our democracy, therefore, no longer functions.

Why do they believe it?  Because Trump said so.  The fact that he told more than 30,000 other lies during his tenure in office doesn’t seem to be of concern.
