“Good lawyers do not make claims without evidence, and these lawyers don’t have any evidence,” Michael D. Gilbert, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, told The Washington Times. “Perpetrating fraud on the scale these lawyers imagine would require hundreds of officials, including Republicans, across multiple states and branches of government to conspire successfully no traces, no leaks, no defections. That’s utterly implausible.”
Months earlier, the three, who have not backed off their claims, were basking in their successes.
Ms. Powell, a blunt Texas appeals litigator, had freed retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump‘s first national security adviser who came to symbolize the FBI’s unfair war against the president. Ms. Powell also forced the exposure of secret FBI documents showing, she said, that agents entrapped her client.

DOVER, Del. (Legal Newsline) – Banana plantation workers who tried to sue in Delaware – despite working in Costa Rica, Ecuador and Panama – have again been told they cannot do so.
The Delaware Supreme Court on Jan. 12 rejected their appeal to a 2013 dismissal of their complaint, finding a motion to vacate that dismissal filed five years after it was too late.
“Not surprisingly, the Superior Court cited the two reasons for the delay offered by the plaintiffs – the burden of the many other DBCP cases counsel was handling and the time and research required to prepare the motion – and found them to be unpersuasive,” says the opinion, authored by Justice James Vaughn.
WILMINGTON, Del. (Legal Newsline) – A spa that employed a man accused of sexually assaulting his clients will have to face vicarious liability charges from a woman who says she was groped at a different spa.
On Jan. 7, Delaware Superior Court Judge Richard Stokes ruled against Hand and Stone Franchise Corporation as it fights a lawsuit over one-time masseur Christopher Dorman, who faced criminal charges for his alleged behavior at both Hand and Stone and at a Massage Envy locale.
The Jane Doe in this case says she was assaulted in June 2018 at Massage Envy because Hand and Stone never reported complaints of similar behavior when Dorman worked there prior to Massage Envy.

The rare ouster comes as some legal fixers for Trump are facing consequences for a series of elections lawsuits that failed because of falsities and sometimes spectacularly unprofessional legal deficiencies.
