Still on the hook for more than $1 billion dollars in a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Machines and fighting for her law license, conspiracy theorist lawyer
Sidney Powell is now fighting off Wisconsin’s sanctions motion by asking for the evidentiary hearing on a lawsuit that was too defective to survive a motion to dismiss.
The conceit of Powell’s latest salvo in the Eastern District of Wisconsin, one of four states where she unsuccessfully tried to topple President
Joe Biden’s electoral victory, is that her failed complaint against the state’s Gov.
Tony Evers (D) cannot be found frivolous because it was rejected on procedural grounds such as standing and timeliness.

Attorney Sidney Powell
Sidney Powell,
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.
MADISON - Gov. Tony Evers is asking two federal courts to make former President Donald Trump and a Republican Party official pay more than $250,000 in legal fees to shield taxpayers from costs in a pair of election lawsuits.
Trump and his allies brought a string of lawsuits after he narrowly lost Wisconsin, but court after court threw them out.
The Democratic governor filed motions late Wednesday in two of those cases seeking to have those who brought the cases pay for legal fees.
If Evers is successful, in one case Trump would have to pay more than $145,000. In the other case, William Feehan, the chairman of the Republican Party of La Crosse County, would have to pay about $107,000.
