In a recent letter, Nancy Plencner stated State Rep. Kolodin is a “brilliant constitutional attorney.” Instead of blindly swallowing unsubstantiated superlatives, consider the following facts.
Dec. 2023: Kolodin accepted discipline by the State Bar of Arizona for his role as an attorney in four failed lawsuits related to the 2020 election results. One of the lawsuits was filed by the Republican Party’s 11 fake electors and county GOP officials.
The Federal judge on the case stated that lawsuit was based on "anonymous witnesses, hearsay and irrelevant analysis." According to the Bar, Kolodin violated prohibitions on "conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice … and bringing a proceeding … unless there is a good faith basis in law and fact for doing so that is not frivolous." Kolodin accepted an admonition and probation for 18 months, pending his completion of five legal education courses on ethics.
