If they are found guilty, the lawyers could be reprimanded, suspended, or even disbarred. A committee made up of members of the Washington DC bar will determine what punishment each of the accused will receive.
Lawrence Joseph was personally involved in a lawsuit brought against Mike Pence. The suit attempted to pressure the then-vice president into using his authority to choose Trump as president.
Joseph also filed a complaint in Texas, the Friday filing stated, in which he claimed that a different group of electors in Arizona and other supposedly “contested states” had voted for Trump, not Biden. “Respondent knew that the claims about a “competing slate” of electors in Arizona (as well as the slates in other “Contested States”) had no factual basis and was false,” the filing alleged.
Juli Haller was involved in Sidney Powell’s “Kraken” lawsuits. This was the name Powell gave to her various challenges to Biden’s victories in swing states, which all ultimately failed.
