Trump-Appointed Judge Rejects Lin Wood’s ‘Creative’ Election Lawsuit in Georgia
Law & Crime ^ | 11/19/2020 | ADAM KLASFELD

A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump rejected what he called a “creative” lawsuit on Thursday. It was a suit that Georgia’s assistant attorney general warned would cause the Peach State’s largest disenfranchisement since the Jim Crow era.

“To halt the certification at literally the 11th hour would breed confusion and disenfranchisement that I find have no basis in fact and law,” U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg declared at the end of a roughly two-and-a-half hour hearing.

The celebrity attorney making the breathtaking request was L. Lin Wood, Jr., who also represented former U.S. Congressman Gary Condit and the alleged victim in the Kobe Bryant case. Wood has also represented Nicholas Sandmann and JonBenét Ramsey’s family. Wood currently represents Kyle Rittenhouse and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

While Wood sued in his capacity as an average Georgia voter, the judge made clear that this did not give the lawyer a basis to sue.

“There is no doubt that the right to vote, even an individual’s right to vote is sacrosanct,” Judge Grimberg added, adding that this “doesn’t mean that individual voters have the right to dictate” the manner in which that vote is counted.

If GA certifies tomorrow, Trump will have to overturn the certification to win. A remote possibility.

So, the judge would have Dominion disenfranchise everyone.

“Lacked standing”? Where have I heard that dodge before?

After the press conference today, certification of fraudulent vote means little.

A remote possibility.

The bullets are flying--time for you to run for the hills.

Really.

This battle has just begun.

Several states will certify for Biden.

They _will_ be overturned.

Stay tuned and watch the magic happen....

so much for the super lawyer

He’s a character defamation specialist isn’t he?

Kyle Rittenhouse currently has no representation as far as I know and Lin Wood and Pierce collected a lot of money and Wood made a special page to donate strictly to Kyle due to complaints that there wasn’t one. People also complained that we couldn’t see the goal or current donation tally but that never happened.

No standing plus needed millions more to join to be of any significance.

Wood was the plaintiff. He was represented in court by another attorney who, I would hope, was experienced in damage cases.
