I listened to the entire Kraken sanctions hearing. Six long hours of Larry David-level cringe.

U.S. District Judge Linda Parker is having a rough day, and so is her court reporter. During a six-hour slugfest sanctions hearing in the Michigan “Kraken” case, the team worked to corral a dozen screaming, interrupting, crying, filibustering lawyers. It was worse than herding cats — at least cats are cute.

The City of Detroit and state of Michigan requested sanctions, including fines and referral for disbarment for lawyers Sidney Powell, Howard Kleinhendler, Lin Wood, Stefanie Lambert Juntilla, Julia Haller, and a handful of their squidlet associates. The gravamen of the claim was that the plaintiffs’ attorneys failed to conduct the most basic due diligence to vet the “evidence” in support of their fantastical claims of a stolen election.

“How could any of you as officers of the court present this type of an affidavit?” Judge Parker asked, referring to one particularly ridiculous document alleging that the witness saw someone deliver a batch of ballots in a clear plastic bag and thus suspected foul play.

“Doesn’t counsel also have an obligation to evaluate this and say ‘What exactly is this going to prove?'” the court asked.

1. They should all go to jail for contempt.

[flying_wahini]

2. Yes, and for a LOOOONG time.

[Warpy]

18. Oh, disbarment and court costs will do nicely

Maybe the Mercers will hire them to clean the pool.

3. stupid attorney's keep running their gum's might just happen !!

[Mr. Ected]

4. We certainly would benefit if the judiciary put these jokers' heads on spikes (figuratively)

This was a premeditated abuse of their licenses to practice law in an effort to mislead and incite the general public.

We can't permit this behavior to continue or our courts' integrity will be forever tarnished.

5. I didn't hear screaming but all the rest, yes.

Who was crying? I missed that but saw lots of references to it. Had Lin Wood conducted himself that way in person he’d have been at least threatened with a good tossing. Powell was just weird. I swear she’s on something.

Mostly though I was impressed as always at how much sheer garbage is indulged. Can’t wait to hear how UNFAIR it was when the judge was beyond tolerant of those yahoos.

17. From the story at the link...

"Kraken lawyer Julia Haller, who appeared at multiple points to be crying..."

I think she has a sad that she chose to put her trust in utter morons.

[nolabear]

19. Ooooohhhh...her. She saw her career going up in flames.

Sorry I asked before reading. 😌

[Wounded Bear]

6. Oh, c'mon. Cats ain't that cute...

The Trump carnival shit show continues.

[ProfessorGAC]

10. One Of Our Cats Is Cute

The other one, however....

[niyad]

11. ALL cats are cute, or gorgeous, depending on size.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

23. Hey don't talk shit about cats.

They are all cute and devistatingly beautiful
They are sweet and you have to earn their trust,unlike dogs.

There are a lot of cat lovers here that will defend cats. Don't go there..

[niyad]

25. Did you respond to the wrong post?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

26. I think I did

Can't find the one I was responding to. Sry.

[niyad]

27. Not a problem. I think you meant the post right above mine, where our felids were

defamed.

[Fiendish Thingy]

7. Sooo, what was the outcome? Did anyone get fined or referred for disbarment? Nt

[AZ8theist]

12. Not yet.

The judge gave them 2 weeks to produce affidavits to um.....I suppose "certify" their supposed "evidence" of election fraud.

(Spoiler alert: They don't have any....)

[Iggo]

16. LOL...you and I both know they don't have any!

They had like 70 chances to produce their evidence in court and never did.

(Actually, it probably wasn’t every court case. But you get my meaning.)

[Budi]

8. Following a twitter report, said someone was openly Weeping & it wasn't going so well.

[GoCubsGo]

9. Whenever I see "Kraken" here, I can't help but think it's about the Seattle Kraken.

I hope they sue these assholes, too.

[AZ8theist]

13. Sue the new hockey team??

Why for??

[GoCubsGo]

15. No, I hope the hockey team sues these Trump morons.

They can sue them for copyright infringement for the theft of "Kraken."

[MissMillie]

14. Not at all surprised

that the bullsh*tters put on a sh*tshow

Powell and Wood are the lowest of the low.

[dmr]

20. Good grief! They're all nuts!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. These assholes need to be disbarred
