And in related Michigan news, there is a civil suit brought by Dominion against a fellow in Michigan, Patrick Byrne, alleging that he defamed Dominion with the usual false blather that Dominion machines stole the election. The defendant’s lawyer, Stefanie Lambert, has been removed from the file by the court, because she has publicly shared all the documents which Dominion has disclosed to the defendant. Disclosure of documents is usually confidential, and in this case, was backed up by a court order, stating that they were to be kept confidential. Since Lambert broke that rule, she’s off the civil case. And Lambert is facing two sets of criminal charges herself: > [@](#): > > In a separate case, Lambert has been charged in Michigan with four felonies for accessing voting machines in a search for evidence of a conspiracy theory against Trump. She was arrested by U.S. Marshals earlier this year after a Michigan judge issued a bench warrant for missing a hearing in her case. > > Along with a local clerk in Michigan, Lambert has also been [charged with multiple felonies](https://apnews.com/article/michigan-scott-lambert-2020-election-charges-ef4037d6aaa5b47c4c1101aa17c1bd86), including unauthorized access to a computer and using a computer to commit a crime, after transmitting data from a local township’s poll book related to the 2020 election. > **[Pro-Trump lawyer removed from Dominion case after leaking documents to cast...](https://apnews.com/article/dominion-trump-lawyer-2020-election-disqualified-54fbc6fbac0a01093473a55e637333f1)** > > Pro-Trump lawyer Stefanie Lambert has been disqualified from representing Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne in a defamation lawsuit brought against him by Dominion Voting Systems. I do not understand Trump’s magic powers, getting people to support him like this. He is the Mule. ---

Patrick Byrne was an “election denier” long before Trump lost, as was Sidney Powell, Russell Ramsland and some other members of the crazy contingent. These people had long claimed that voting machines were rigged and had been looking for a losing candidate that was unhinged enough to let them pursue their theory for a few years at least. Then Trump lost. It’s probably also worth noting that Patrick Byrne was involved with Maria Butina, the suspected Russian spy that infiltrated right wing circles. Byrne also wrote at length about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, a fantastically deluded piece of literature that did not get the attention it deserved. FWIW, Butina was deported back to Russia where she is a close friend of ex-pat Tara Reade, the woman who made a sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden. It always comes back to Russia. ---

As we know by now- every MAGA accusation is a confession. So far, other than a stray voter or two- no Democratic election cheating in the last election. But lots and lots of criminal activity by the MAGAs ---
