Michigan attorney Greg Rohl filed Sidney Powell's frivolous "Kraken" lawsuit for her as she's not registered to practice law in Michigan.

But now that Michigan's Gov, SOS, and AG are calling for his disbarment, he claims he didn't play a large role.

A local attorney who was instrumental in filing Sidney Powell's Michigan lawsuit to throw out the state's votes in the 2020 presidential election, said in a court filing he was just "holding the fort" for her and shouldn't be sanctioned or disbarred.

Gregory Rohl, a trial attorney based in Novi, Michigan, wrote in a federal court affidavit that he was quarantined at home after having contracted COVID-19 when he was asked to assist Powell and the attorney Lin Wood in filing the case. Rohl said in his affidavit he was approached at 6:30 p.m. and told the filing deadline was at midnight.

Rohl's filing comes just days after Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, state Attorney General Dana Nessel, and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson filed complaints seeking to disbar Powell, Rohl, and several attorneys who were involved in the lawsuit.

Powell, a Texas attorney, was unable to file the suit herself at the time, as she did not have a license to practice law in Michigan. Rohl was told Powell was waiting to hear back about her pro hac vice application, a request for permission to work on the case when a lawyer does not have the legal authority to practice law in the area.

6. Absolutely.

And I want to see a whole lot more actors face their deserved consequences as well. It took a lot of people to build the Big Lie.....they all deserve to face the legal music.

3. Too bad. A lawyer who signs a pleading and submits it to a court

is responsible for what's in it, even if he's just "holding the fort" for some other lawyer. He should have known better.

4. How Did They Know To Call Specifically Him?

They randomly contacted a Michigan lawyer, 5.5 hours before the deadline? And, he willingly agreed to file, in his name, a suit to discount a hundred thousand votes? But he knew nothing of their plans, and wasn't part of the plan?
Yeah, sure.

5. sounds like perjury as well since he is lying in an official court document.

8. Throw his ass out!

He knew better, but all he wanted was the money/fame this would bring him. Now he has the notoriety, and everything else that goes with it.

10. He played a large enough role.

11. This idiot needs to be disbarred
