A couple of things about lawyering in the State of Michigan. One is about Flint.

Government overthrow, also known as treason has no friends.

Lansing - Governor Gretchen Whitmer, (click here) Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson responded to the order from United States Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter in the United States District Court of Colorado after granting sanctions against attorneys a part of a lawsuit related to the 2020 presidential election wherein Michigan officials were named as defendants on Aug. 8, 2021.

“This ruling sends a resounding message: attorneys who neglected their oath to support the Constitution by taking part in election lawsuits based neither in fact nor reality not only undermined our legal system – they did irreparable harm to our election processes and will be held accountable,” Attorney General Nessel said. “These sanctions affirm that although severe damage was done by these baseless lawsuits, the democratic foundation on which this country was built remains intact and the rule of law still prevails. I appreciate my team’s dedication to pursuing these sanctions on behalf of the State and I sincerely hope Michiganders take note of this pivotal ruling.”

Alongside AG Nessel in pursuing sanctions against plaintiff attorneys were Dominion, Facebook, Center for Tech and Civic Life and Pennsylvania....

So that makes sense, right? Any lawyer who participated in attempts to overthrow a fair, free and honest election is an enemy of the state and should be sanctioned. Applause for Governor Whitmer. But, in the same breath, what the heck is she doing?

Flint - Seven months (click here) after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer capped how much Michigan taxpayers would pay in criminal defense fees for current or former state employees charged in connection with the Flint water crisis, the spending ceiling has been lifted.

The legal team representing former Gov. Rick Snyder and a spokesman for the Governor’s Office told MLive-The Flint Journal that a revised standard contract put forward by the state no longer includes a maximum payout of $175,000 per case for each of nine individuals indicted by a one-man grand jury in January....

So, is this like, oops, we forgot that part of the contract or there goes the Michigan Treasury and that will teach the people of Michigan to go against a Governor. So, which is it? It can't be anything different.

There is a remote chance this was due to legislation passed by a Republican Michigan House and Senate. So, who did this because the people have a right to know!!!!!!
