Ever since Donald Trump was decisively defeated in the 2020 presidential election by Joe Biden, he has been obsessed with propagating the “Big Lie”<\/em> that the election was “rigged”<\/em> and “stolen”<\/em> from him. It’s a dangerous and flagrant falsehood that undermines the people’s faith in American democracy and resulted in the deadly January 6th insurrection in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

On Wednesday there were finally some consequences for a few of Trump’s co-conspirators. Politico is reporting<\/a><\/strong> that several of the attorneys that worked on Trump’s behalf to disseminate lies about election fraud were dealt a legal blow:<\/p>\n

“A federal judge on Wednesday imposed sanctions on Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and seven other pro-Trump lawyers in a strongly worded denouncement of what the court called a frivolous election fraud lawsuit.<\/p>\n

“U.S. District Court Judge Linda Parker found that Powell and her colleagues involved in the case, which sought to make former President Donald Trump Michigan\u2019s official 2020 presidential pick, ‘filed this lawsuit in bad faith and for improper purpose.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The judge went on to reprimand the lawyers for presenting “pleadings that were not \u2018warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or establishing new law.\u2019”<\/em> She said that they “contained factual contentions lacking evidentiary support.”<\/em><\/p>\n

But that’s not all. The judge further noted that “the deficiencies in the pleadings [claim violations of election law} without a thorough understanding of what the law requires, and the number of failed election-challenge lawsuits that Plaintiffs\u2019 attorneys have filed.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The judge’s opinion concluded by recommending “that the bar associations for each respective attorney investigate them for potential suspension or disbarment, noting that their involvement in the litigation showed they were unfit to practice law.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This is just the latest humiliating episode in the long-running melodrama of Trump’s legal tribulations. His personal attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty for his role on the payoff to Trump’s mistress, adult film star Stormy Daniels, and for lying to the Senate. Then Rudy Giuliani had his license suspended<\/a><\/strong> in both New York and Washington, D.C. Trump’s representatives lost more than sixty court cases due to failing to provide a shred of evidence supporting their election fraud allegations.<\/p>\n

Now these clowns have been sanctioned and face possible disbarment. And yet, somehow Trump will go on whining about the “Crime of the Century”<\/em> until his turn to be held accountable comes up. He is presently being investigated in New York, Washington, and Georgia, for criminal election tampering, intimidation, and abuse of power. And the rulings against this batch of his legal team will only serve to darken his future prospects for avoiding the consequences of his crimes.<\/p>\n
