You will remember that Dominion Voting Systems filed a billion dollar defamation suit against “release the Kraken” lawyer, Sidney Powell. She promised a vigorous defense that will show evidence of massive fraud (evidence she has promised but never delivered since the beginning of December). Powell has hired Lin Wood to defend her.
Lin Wood also has a history of filing post-election lawsuits claiming massive fraud, election rigging and other misdeeds. You may recall that all of his lawsuits were dismissed due to a lack of evidence, wrong jurisdiction and wrong parties.
Here’s where it gets interesting. Lawyers are held to professional standards that include a prohibition against filing frivolous or unsubstantiated lawsuits. Wood has his primary licensure in the State of Georgia. The State Bar of Georgia, on its own motion, has just instituted disciplinary proceedings against Wood. It alleges the violation of, if I’m counting correctly, eight different sections of the Code of Professional Responsibility. The complaint goes beyond Wood’s misuse of the courts and itemizes his conduct in demeaning a variety of public officials and private individuals.
To say that their complaint is exhaustive would be a massive understatement. The extraordinary recitation of Wood’s misdeeds runs, get this, 1,600 pages. Think of it as more than three reams of paper.
I know I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. You can publicly make all the unsubstantiated claims of fraud and a stolen election you want on television and social media. But courts do not find frivolous claims remotely amusing. And neither does the State Bar. [Written February 14, 2021]
