Attorneys for Wisconsin Governor Say 'Kraken' Attorneys' Motion to Avoid Sanctions Is 'Nonsensical'
Source: Law & Crime
and ‘Itself Sanctionable by This Court’
Lawyers representing Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) on Wednesday said that a motion submitted by attorneys Sidney Powell, Howard Kleinhendler, Michael D. Dean, and Daniel J. Eastman was so improper that the filing merits its own sanctions. The motion in question was filed on behalf of a local GOP official seeking to avoid reimbursing the state for attorney’s fees incurred through a frivolous post-election lawsuit.
Kleinhendler is the attorney who electronically signed the motion and a subsequent brief in support of the request, but Powell is listed as the first attorney in the list of counsel on the bottom of both documents.
The Evers motion in response stems from a case originally filed by La Crosse Republican Party Chairman William Feehan following Donald Trump’s loss in November — one of the slew of election lawsuits Powell compared to the “Kraken,” a mythical, octopus-like creature often depicted in Hollywood films and ancient folklore. The Feehan lawsuit claimed that the election was stolen from Trump through a nefarious scheme that included voting machines switching votes, Iran and China hacking voting machines, and a far-fetched hypothesis about deceased Venezuelan Hugo Chavez. Those claims were swiftly rubbished by judges in multiple jurisdictions and have since become the subjects of defamation lawsuits against Powell and others by voting machine and election software companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic.
Feehan’s suit initially included a Republican House candidate who said he was not a party to the action, sought 48 hours of security camera footage from a voting center located in Michigan, and referenced the non-existent “Wisconsin Board of State Canvassers.”
