Judge revokes admission of Special Counsel to Wisconsin State Assembly

 
"I revoke O[ffice] of S[Special] C[counsel]’s out-of-state attorneys’ pro hac vice admission because the motion to which they have signed their names applies phony legal principles to invented facts. Near every claim they make is frivolous under Wisconsin law." American Oversight v. Wisconsin Assembly Office of Special Counsel. FILED 08-17-2022 CIRCUIT COURT DANE COUNTY, WI 2021 CV003007

In an action brought by the watchdog group American Oversight Frank D. Remington, a Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge denied a recusal motion by the Assembly's out of state Special Counsel.  In a supplemental opinion and Order he revoked the ability of attorney James Bopp Jr. and others in his firm to continue to represent the arm of the Wisconsin Assembly that spent the last year investigating the 2020 election. It is an understatement to call the opinion scathing. In his 90 page supplemental statement the judge writes "to read the [Special Counsel's] brief casually is to witness fiction distilled from the disappointment of a losing party; a fever dream version of the facts of this case."
