A U.S. magistrate judge in Washington, D.C., has warned a Kraken lawyer fighting felony charges in two cases that there will be a hearing on Thursday on Dominion Voting Systems bid to disqualify her from representing ex-Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne in a defamation lawsuit whether she shows up or not.
When Stefanie Lambert told U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya that the hearing, initially scheduled for Monday, had to be moved in light of the fact she must appear in Michigan criminal court the same day, she asserted that she wouldnt be able to travel to D.C. at all this coming week.
Last Wednesday, the Michigan Attorney Generals Office revealed that Lambert and one of her clients, ousted Adams Township Clerk Stephanie Scott of Hillsdale County, were hit with state felony computer crime charges for allowing an unauthorized computer examiner access to voter data, including non-public voter information, concerning the 2020 General Election.
The Department contends that Scott intentionally disregarded numerous instructions from the Director of Elections, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State, to present the Adams Township voting tabulator to an authorized vendor for maintenance and testing and withheld the tabulator until it was seized by Michigan State Police pursuant to a search warrant, the AGs office said. The Department also alleges Lambert illicitly transmitted data from the Adams Township Electronic Poll Book concerning the 2020 General Election under the direction of Scott. Michigan AG Dana Nessel (D) said the defendants abused their positions to promote baseless conspiracies about the 2020 election and violated the law.
