Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D) has filed a brief in U.S. District Court to have the demagogic former guy pay for the costs the State incurred in beating back his frivolous lawsuits that sought to void Wisconsin's 2020 election results. According to the brief:
“More than eight months ago, former President Trump filed this lawsuit in an audacious attempt to overrule the will of the voters by fiat,” the governor’s attorney Jeffrey A. Mandell wrote in a 17-page legal brief. “He sought unprecedented relief, and his team pressed the case in a slapdash manner incommensurate with the gravity of the subject matter. Now, Trump recasts the litigation in a sepia tone, glossing over flaws with conclusory exculpations and dismissing criticism as ‘Monday morning quarterbacking.'”
Every state that the unstable former guy put through audit after audit and lawsuit after lawsuit should follow Wisconsin's example, now that they have a template in the Kraken Krackup Kaper:
"Requesting attorneys’ fees, Evers pointed to the far heavier sanctions sought by the city of Detroit in a case by the so-called “Kraken” lawyers, whose efforts to overturn election results in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin were rejected by every court. On Wednesday night, a federal judge in Michigan referred each of the nine attorneys associated with the Michigan arm of that litigation to face disciplinary proceedings in their home states for 'possible suspension or disbarment.'”
Of course, the chances of the delusional con man paying out of his own pocket are vanishingly small, as he can always tap his cultists for the money. But the residents of Wisconsin, especially Dem and Independent supporters of President Biden, shouldn't have to expend public funds to answer costly suits that were only intended to soothe a malignant narcissist's wounded ego.
