The Kraken aren't doing well at all.

from that link:

Days before the hearing, Judge Powell denied a request to seal the names of “Kraken” team’s witnesses. Powell had claimed that they included military and intelligence officials whose security would be put at risk if their names were exposed. The Washington Post debunked at least two of those claims.

One such witness, alternately code-named “Spider” and “Spyder,” was revealed by the paper to be Joshua Merritt, who was touted as a “military intelligence expert” but was actually an army vehicle mechanic—and reportedly never worked in military intelligence.

Another witness, Terpsichore “Tore” Maras-Lindeman, was billed as a secret intelligence contractor but was depicted by the Post as a small-town fraudster because of her civil prosecution in North Dakota that led to more than $25,000 in penalties and attorneys’ fees for allegedly duping donors a supposed Christmas fundraiser. A pro-Trump podcaster, her Navy experience reportedly lasted less than a year.

Detroit argued that instances like these showed that the “Kraken” team had perpetrated a “fraud upon the court.”

The Washington Post has followed the formation of Trump's Big Lie, closely

Something made out of thin air, returns as thin air, in the courts of law.

the"Big Lie" Kraken got loose, fell on its face as sanctions come
to Michigan election fraudsters

July 12, 2021

Judge Parker asked Team Kraken and Sidney Powell why they would submit
an affidavit alleging "triple-hearsay" that they would never have a hope of
introducing in court.

“The court is concerned that these affidavits were submitted in bad faith.”

Lawyers retreat from pro-Trump election suit

Two of the most prominent attorneys in the pro-Trump camp — Dallas-based
Sidney Powell and Atlanta-based L. Lin Wood — are among the lawyers who
brought the unsuccessful suit and whose conduct is under scrutiny by U.S.
District Court Judge Linda Parker.

As the hearing opened Monday via videoconference, several lawyers sought to
minimize their roles in the litigation. While Wood was listed as one of seven
attorneys on the first iteration of the suit last November, he stressed to the judge
that he wasn’t involved in preparing it.

Judge Linda Parker asked L. Lin Wood directly whether he’d given permission
for his name to be placed on the suit.

Steve Bannon - "...the way to deal with the media, he said, is “to flood the zone with shit."

Trump's attitude - ...the way to deal with the law, is to flood the courts with shit

(Trump has been doing that, throughout his adult life. Lady Justice is blindfolded,
but the human beings have a delicate sense of smell.)

"I would just briefly say that this was a complaint. We had good faith to attach exhibits ... and I simply am confused as to the standard that's being applied when it comes to filing a complaint, because this was not a verified complaint. I'm a little confused at the standard, we did not submit falsehoods and we have not had an opportunity to have our witnesses examined," she said.

Judge Parker replied: "The standard is that I'm applying here ... is that plaintiff's counsel submitted affidavits that the court may believe should have been, obviously questionable, if not false on their face."

In other words

The Obama "Judge" decided it wasnt true and wouldnt ALLOW evidence to prove otherwise

Sorta like the Soviet Union!

a most disrespectful and hostile lawyer, and a weeping lawyer
attempt to manipulate a federal judge -

federal Judge Linda Parker sparred with Donald Campbell, an attorney
representing most of the pro-Trump lawyers involved
(and with Howard Kleinhendler, one of those lawyers)

“I would caution you to — do not question my procedure,” (Judge Linda) Parker said.

“I am not a potted plant. I will represent my client,” (Donald) Campbell declared.

- Politico

Late in the hearing, Parker again clashed with Campbell after he took issue with the
questions that he and others were being asked.

She (Judge Linda Parker) told him, “I would caution you to not question my procedure."
"I’m here to question what you’ve done, sir.”
(Donald) Campbell shot back angrily: “But I am not a potted plant. I am not a potted
plant. I will represent my client.”

“That is quite fine,” (Judge Linda) Parker said. “But you don’t worry about what
I’m doing at this point. You are here to answer my questions.”

Just in case, the real events are distorted by The Misinformation Highway -

The City of Detroit, which intervened as a defendant in the suit to defend the election
results, triggered the sanctions process about six months ago by complaining that the
case was frivolous and littered with untruths. The city’s motions asked Parker to impose
monetary penalties on the lawyers in the case, to require them to pay the attorneys’ fees
of the city and other defendants in the case, and to refer the lawyers for potential
disbarment proceedings.

An attorney for the city, David Fink, said the initial filing in the case was garbled
and unprofessional.

“What they filed in the first complaint in this case was an embarrassment to the legal
profession,” Fink said. “It was sloppy. It was unreadable and it was mocked.”

No matter how many deplorables lie or how many times they repeat those lies, the majority of US citizens won't believe them.

Hope the judge burns them so badly that no lawyer tries this Trumpian frivolous and ridiculous court case dump scheming ever again. Put them all out of business.

Come to think of it, the kraken is a creature from Scandinavian folklore.

I can hear them now complaining about liberal judges, deep state, deep state!!!

Probably not a great sign for Lin Wood and Sidney Powell in their election fraud
sanctions hearing that one of their main lawyers appears to be crying.

In the USA do courts, either federal or state have the concept of a 'vexatious litigant?' In most English speaking jurisdictions the court has the option to declare a litigant or group of same, vexatious, if they constantly file cases which have no substantive evidence or basis in law.

Such matters then never waste the courts time. The so called election disputes would have been dead and buried 8 months ago with such a ruling in place

We have it, but it hasn't come into serious play before the Trump circus business. It's moving into being applied now.

I just can't imagine what magic potion Trump is using to get so many people, including the board Trumpettes, to be such idiots for him.

Thanks, once one judge makes that decision, I suspect others will follow. An un-looked for benefit in other jurisdictions is that lawyers suddenly become very reluctant to represent such people. Better quality lawyers have already deserted Trump, the rats still on board will follow.

But Trump's been doing this for decades--initiating bogus "wear them down" suits and stiffing the lawyers who represent him. And he continues to be able to do it.

I've yet to see the evidence that he isn't above the law. Yes, he gets his hand slapped regularly. Others doing what he so far has gotten away with have served or are serving prison time. Cohen, for instance, has served time for what Trump was also fingered for in the court case and for something that only served Trump's interest and yet it's only Cohen who served time for it.

They're going farther than that:

https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=1538537


Ghouliani's already suspended in two jurisdictions pending formal disbarment. Part of the goal of this case is to get the Judge to recommend Wood, Powell and the others for disbarment.

Once that (IF that) happens, no lawyer that values their shingle at all would take a case from the Orange Demon.

Even Paxton, the Texas AG is under threat of criminal action.

The Sixth hasn't been too reliable lately.

"During Thursday's hearing, 6th Circuit Judge Raymond Kethledge questioned Powell about affidavits in the lawsuit that purportedly connected voting machines to Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and suggested people from North Korea and Iran somehow had hacked voting machine software.

"Isn’t that facially something that’s not credible?" Kethledge asked."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted that someone working for Powell was caught on surveillance video copying a trove of election data in Coffee County, Georgia, on Jan. 7, 2021.

They know there was fraud going on, because they were the ones doing it.
