Stefanie Lambert was arrested by U.S. Marshals after a hearing over possible sanctions against her for disseminating confidential emails from Dominion Voting Systems, the target of conspiracy theories over former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. Lambert obtained the Dominion emails by representing Patrick Byrne, a prominent funder of election conspiracy theorists who is being sued by Dominion for defamation.
You wouldn’t think a lawyer would do this but, it’s a MAGA lawyer, so…
In a statement, the Marshals office said Lambert was arrested on “local charges.” A Michigan judge earlier this month issued a bench warrant for Lambert after she missed a hearing in her case, in which she’s charged with four felonies for accessing voting machines in a search for evidence of a conspiracy theory against Trump. Lambert had earlier, unsuccessfully, sued to overturn Trump’s loss in Michigan.
FOUR FELONIES! Wow, this is incredible.
Jail, please - like the others.
You’d think a lawyer wouldn’t work for a loser that can’t pay their fees. But apparently he still finds ones that are willing…
You can always claim you represented “former presidents of the United States” without having to say it’s Donald Trump or that you lost.
Not really.
Most people would follow up with “which one? Can I call them for references?”
The reality is that losing a court case isn’t always a “loss” from the lawyer’s perspective.
If your client is guilty, sometimes the win condition is getting a lighter-than-otherwise sentencing or judgement, for example.
But working for trump is stupid. 1) everyone knows he’s guilty, 2) when he loses- and he’s going to be losing ALOT- he’s going to blame shitty lawyers, 3) the kind of “exposure” he provides actually terrible. 4) he doesn’t pay his bills.
Edit: 5) the job is gonna take a shit ton of hours, and 6) you’ll have to get your own lawyer
I think we’ve seen many times now from the people defending Trump (and other situations) that you don’t have to be smart to pass the bar exam.
They keep getting arrested.
Honestly, folks, between Pillow Man begging for funds for legal help, Trump not quite being able to come up with almost half a billion, that Navarro clown crying on his way to jail, it’s been

I like the first one. The second might require a little more processing power than Trumpers typically have at their disposal.
I can’t seem to find any more information about what alleged crimes were in the illegally-leaked Dominion documents. Was there anything interesting at all? Or was this just noise?
Now get that lawless bastard Dar Leaf.
