Days before a hearing to decide whether Kraken lawyers Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and their co-counsel should face heavy sanctions, a federal judge denied an old motion to keep three of the supposed witnesses identities under seal. Two of the once-secret witnesses in that litigation have been revealed via public reporting late last year.
The Kraken is the name Powell gave to her legal teams multi-armed effort to overturn President Joe Bidens victories in Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia following the 2020 election. After all four efforts failed, the state of Michigan and the city of Detroit gunned for punishment against the team of lawyers which filed the case in the Wolverine State. The state filed complaints directly with the bar, and Detroit asked a federal judge to refer every Kraken lawyer who appeared in the Michigan prong of the legal offensive for disbarment proceedings.
That sanctions hearing is currently scheduled for Monday morning, but U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, who will determine the lawyers fate, resolved some unfinished business first on Friday.
Among other points of a four-page ruling, Judge Parker rejected Powells request to seal the names of three supposed witnesses she claimed would suffer grave risk of harm should their identities be disclosed.
