Indicted pro-Trump lawyer who leaked emails is removed from Dominion suit
#Dominion #Voting #Systems lawyers say they will also
seek sanctions against Stefanie Lambert’s client in $1.6 billion #defamation #suit, former Overstock CEO #Patrick #Byrne
A pro-Trump lawyer facing criminal charges for 
illegally accessing Michigan voting machines after the 2020 election was 
️disqualified Tuesday from representing former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne ️
after a judge found her and Byrne 
responsible for leaking up to 1 million confidential records turned over in a separate defamation lawsuit.
Stefanie Lambert was barred from representing Byrne,
a prominent funder of adherents of election misinformation,
in a $1.6 billion damages lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems,
the target of false attacks over former president Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya of Washington 
disqualified Lambert over violations beginning last March with her disclosure of Dominion emails to a county sheriff in southwestern Michigan and to a court filing in her own criminal case in Michigan,
despite a court order requiring that records in the defamation case be kept confidential.
“The record clearly shows that
Lambert deliberately violated multiple court rules and orders and continues to do so despite having had ample warning of the consequences and assuring the Court she would comply,” Upadhyaya said,
raising the “serious concern” that she joined Byrne’s legal team
“for the sheer purpose of gaining access to and publicly sharing Dominion’s protected discovery.”
