Trump Sycophant & Harvard Law School Prof. Alan Dershowitz Sanctioned!

[Habitation]

Judge sanctions Alan Dershowitz for "recklessly" filing "false, misleading, and unsupported" claims in Kari Lake's election lawsuit

"In her frustration at not winning the Arizona governorship even though she is a privileged white woman, MAGA cultist Kari Lake hired a team of lawyers in an attempt to distort reality enough to put her in office. To make her wish come true, the webcam filter aficionado hired disgraced lawyer Alan Dershowitz to blast bloviating objections through the court system, but a federal judge sanctioned the perpetually aggrieved Trump-sycophant, saying that claims that the election was rigged were "false, misleading, and unsupported."

...

With the lawsuit dismissed, the judge addressed a request for sanctions on Thursdsay, Dec. 1. In a 30-page order, he wrote as follows:

The Court concludes that sanctions are warranted under Rule 11 and 28 U.S.C. § 1927. It finds that Plaintiffs made false, misleading, and unsupported factual assertions in their FAC and MPI and that their claims for relief did not have an adequate factual or legal basis grounded in a reasonable pre-filing inquiry, in violation of Rules 11(b)(2) and (b)(3). The Court further finds that Plaintiffs' counsel acted at least recklessly in unreasonably and vexatiously multiplying the proceedings by seeking a preliminary injunction based on Plaintiffs' frivolous claims, in violation of Section 1927."

Boing Boing: Judge sanctions Alan Dershowitz for "recklessly" filing "false, misleading, and unsupported" claims in Kari Lake's election lawsuit.

1. About time that happened.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Reminds me of Rudy.

Another lawyer that has debased himself in service to Donald Trump and the MAGA'rs.

[Escurumbele]

28. Why is it that Rudy is not doing time? We have not heard from him, or of him for a long time.

[erronis]

31. Shhhh. He's busy licking his wounds (or his balls.)

Let sleepy dogs lie.

(No disrespect meant towards dogs!)

[Ford_Prefect]

38. When DOJ gets going Rudy will be one of the talking heads they bring in for further

examination. Perhaps he'll assist them in their inquiries?

[yankee87]

43. Great analogy

Spot on

[magicarpet]

3. But,... but,... but,..

Your Honor,...

Rudy,... Judy,... Giulie got away with it,...

why can't I ?

[rsdsharp]

6. Not really. Rudy's license has been suspended

in both New York, and D.C.

[markodochartaigh]

7. So is Rudy

down to only his landscaping license in Pennsylvania?

[MyOwnPeace]

18. HA!!!!

I see what you did there!!!!

[grumpyduck]

4. Okay, but what exactly does that mean for ol' Alan?

Was he suspended, fined, written up, slapped on the wrist?

[grantcart]

8. The plaintiff attorneys are required to pay the defense attorneys fees.

[LiberalFighter]

17. Any idea how much it might be?

[moonshinegnomie]

10. just from reading the order it looks like hes going to be paying attorney fees

ORDER: IT IS ORDERED granting the Maricopa County Defendants' Rule 11 and 28 U.S.C. § 1927 Motion for Sanctions (Doc. 97 ). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, within 14 days of entry of this Order, the Maricopa County Defendants shall file a memorandum setting forth the attorneys' fees they have reasonably incurred in this case from the time of the filing of Plaintiffs' first Amended Complaint (Doc. 3 ) to the filing of this Order, along with supporting documentation and in conformance with LRCiv 54.2. No later than 14 days thereafter, Plaintiffs shall file any Response only as to the reasonableness of the requested award under LRCiv 54.2(c)(3) and (f). (See attached Order). Signed by Judge John J Tuchi on 12/1/2022.

[former9thward]

24. It won't be much.

The Maricopa county attorneys are getting paid by the county no matter what they are doing. The lawsuit was very quick so not many hours are involved. If they try to inflate anything then they will get sanctioned.

[Warpy]

15. Written up and fined

and if he doesn't knock it off, he'll get that law license suspended.

Apparently TFG either has some of Epstein's DVDs kicking around or he's told people he has them. I can think of no other reason so many movers and shakers have done such serious about faces. Dershowitz defended Epstein and witnesses have implicated him, but somehow those witnesses have been trashed or silenced or both.

As for Epstein, he didn't make all those DVDs to relive tender moments between the young girls and the rich old men he trafficked them to. There are some really good reasons they shut him up so fast and had his NYC video collection disappeared once the cops got them. He wasn't just a sleazy pimp, IOW.

If any cop had the guts to blow the Epstein case wide open, that would have finished TFG and most likely the rest of the world's worst people. Well, not Putin, he had his own procurers on the job.

[KPN]

19. Right you are! It has seemed that way for too

long not to believe so now, especially in this case. TFG really needed a t happen.success like Lake actually moving into the AZ Gov position. Lol as well as thank God, it didn’t happen.

[erronis]

32. Wonder how many sequels the movie industry can get out of "The Slobfather"?

[Warpy]

41. They'll have to wait 50 years or preferably more to tackle the subject

until more of the dirt comes to the surface after the easily embarrassed rich old bastards die off and the stench of his presidency has abated somewhat. It will take even longer to tackle the Evangelical madness that contributed to his rise, as it will take even longer for those loons to die off.

[BComplex]

40. Dershowitz took care of the Epstein case in Florida, way back when!

Along with trump appointee Alexander Acosta, Dershowitz is corrupt to the bone. I hope that played into why this judge finally let him have some comeuppance.

[Cha]

5. I saw that.. isn't that

Grand?!!

[republianmushroom]

9. LIKE

[Evolve Dammit]

11. "only in my underwear" Alan with Epstein's girls. Slime. Top to bottom. no pun intended...

[Pinback]

45. Should have stuck with "very old Russian" women (nt)

[TrollBuster9090]

12. It's about time judges started sanctioning these stupid FOX NEWS TV 'Lawyers' ...

... (aka RODEO CLOWNS on the Sean Hannity circus) for wasting time and taxpayer's money. The legal system has more important things to do than provide soundbites and ratings for Fux Noise.

BRAVO!

[housecat]

13. Could it be that clouds are moving away and the sun is starting to shine. Something is

happening and we know what it is. We just don't want to be disappointed again. But keeping the Senate and watching tfg lose court cases, followers, and elections is real. The J6 committee and DOJ are going to get him. For real.

[MyOwnPeace]

20. LOVE your thoughts......

Here's hoping they will win the day - and the USA will win because of it!

[housecat]

35. Yes, it won't be easy, but it will happen

[Hekate]

16. This is a man who once had it all. Corruption is an infection that kills.

SMH

[speak easy]

29. Everything Trump Touches Dies

#ETTD strikes again.

[AverageOldGuy]

21. You need to read this.

Over on the Lawyers, Guns, and Money blog, someone posted this in reply to the report of Dershowitz being sanctioned:

Thought I’d share how my girlfriends and I, as teenagers hanging out on the nude part of the town beach in Chilmark, Martha’s Vineyard, would refer to Alan Dershowitz as “Mr. Half Mast” when he would stroll up and down, nude himself, leering. Once a creep always a creep.

[lanlady]

22. From Mr Half Mast

—to half-assed chump for Trump.

[erronis]

33. I just remember Rudy frantically searching for his mast...

"Damn, I know I left it down there somewhere."

[Martin68]

23. Good to see the the rule of law and justice can still prevail in the era of Trump and radical right

wing politicians and voters.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

25. Yes!

We will definitely run up against RWNJ TFG-appointed so-called-judges, like Ms Special Master again, but some of his appointees have proven to be less partisan than he'd hoped. I'll bet they got very nasty, whiny phone calls or texts from him.

[3Hotdogs]

26. Not likely. At least one of them would hate him enough to turn such letters to D.o.J.

[SheltieLover]

27. Hi Dark!

Oh no doubt whiney phone calls!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

39. Hey, Sheltie!

Just imagine how many whiny phone calls he has made in his lifetime. If I had a nickel for every one!

[SheltieLover]

42. Yup!

Then you'd have as much $ as tfg says he has.

[niyad]

30. About time for underwear guy.

[yellowcanine]

34. Is there no bar too low for the whoring Dershy?

Apparently not.

[Major Nikon]

44. He accepted a massage gift from Epstein who he knew gifted friends with pedophilia "massages"

Then he tried to convince everyone the masseuse wasn't underage, there wasn't anything sexual about it, and he didn't pal around with a well known child trafficker. This was inside one of Epstein's homes mind you and years after he was first accused of pandering child rape.

Hard to imagine anyone who's a bigger scumbag than that.

[Mopar151]

36. He's the "Cutting Edge"!

Always scraping the bottom.....

[Tarc]

37. What are the consequences for these antics?

Can this lead to possible disbarment?

[rpannier]

46. No. It doesn't rise to the level of anything criminal

It just says, "You acted like a jerk. and you are getting fined."
He'd have to do something much more serious to be disbarred.

[Cha]

47. How embASSing!😎 nt
