It’s interesting when the MAGA leaders start going for each other’s jugular. Pundits are parsing over the transcript and video of the sanctions hearing in Michigan Monday morning, where Lin Wood made the startling claim that he had nothing to do with Sidney Powell’s lawsuit and never even signed his name to it. For reasons which have yet to be explained Lin Wood is now distancing himself from Powell and the Kraken and this is after he put himself at the center of it long ago. Forbes:
Wood and attorney Emily Newman emphasized to the court they did not play a role in the lawsuit, with Newman’s attorney saying she had only spent five hours of work on the case and Wood telling the judge: “I didn’t do anything with respect to this lawsuit.”
Wood claimed he did not know his name was being put on the lawsuit and said he had only told Powell more broadly “if she needed my help I would help her from a trial lawyer standpoint” in any of her post-election lawsuits, but did not know about the Michigan lawsuit until after it was filed.
Powell disputed Wood’s account, saying she “did specifically ask Mr. Wood for his permission,” though she acknowledged there may have been a “misunderstanding,” and city of Detroit attorney David Fink called Wood’s assertions “blatantly false” and pointed out Wood had bragged about his involvement on social media.
Lin Wood apparently doesn’t know that the internet is like a planet of elephants, nothing is ever forgotten. All of Wood’s incendiary comments live. In fact, it appears that Wood has a new video coming out, showcasing some of these comments.

Sedition is as sedition does.
I’m not sure what that clip is. It looks like the trailer for a larger work. It doesn’t put Wood in a favorable light, in any event.
Newman probably will get off lightly, if she only put in five hours of work. (I’m assuming she knows what those five hours were for.)
