In a blistering 30-page opinion, a federal judge (John Tuchi) ordered sanctions against the attorneys of Kari Lake and Mark Finchem in their lawsuit against voting machines, hoping to deter "similarly baseless suits in the future."
Those lawyers? Jesse Kibort, Joseph Pull, Andrew Parker, and
Kurt Olsen.
Judge Tuchi found the claims were based on speculative allegations and that attorneys failed to perform adequate pre-filing inquiries into the factual (that word again) basis of their claims.
In 2023, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals concurred with the dismissal of the lawsuit, agreeing it was "frivolous."

The 65 Project targeted attorneys who advance spurious election fraud claims in court. It filed bar complaints in Minnesota and Maryland against attorneys Jesse Kibort, Joseph Pull and Andrew Parker, ...and Kurt Olsen. The four lawyers were acting on behalf of Kari Lake (Loser-AZ) and Mark Finchem (Loser-AZ.)

PHOENIX -- Attorneys for Kari Lake and Mark Finchem are on the hook for $122,000 in legal fees for Maricopa County for filing what a federal appeals court called a "frivolous'' challenge to the use of voting machines in Arizona.
Judge Ronald Gould, writing for the majority, said Andrew Parker and Kurt Olsen made "false and misleading allegations'' in their 2022 lawsuit claiming that voting machines were unreliable and subject to manipulation.
... And he said that U.S. District Court Judge John Tuchi, who imposed the sanctions after throwing out the case, was correct in concluding that the lawsuit was based on "speculation and conjecture.''
...The pair had no better luck with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which concluded they never presented any evidence that the machines used in Arizona to count ballots had actually ever been hacked. The Supreme Court refused to disturb that ruling.
