POP QUIZ!

If you are a multi-millionaire defendant being sued in DC by a giant corporation represented by lawyers who just kicked loose $787 million in a related action, do you:

B. Fire that guy and hire some loon from Michigan who is under criminal indictment herself, but who happens to buy into the insane conspiracy theory that got you sued in the first place?

Patrick Byrne, AKA “The Overstock Weirdo,” chose B. Which is unfortunate, since his wackadoo attorney Stefanie Lambert just got booted off the case, leaving him to fend off Dominion Voting Systems’ team of very scary lawyers pro se, at least for now.

This is slightly less dramatic than the time Lambert got arrested on an outstanding warrant at the end of a motions hearing in the Dominion case. But only slightly — the disqualification order is brutal!
