Lawfare Dealt Blow With Delco Defam Case — The last gasp of the Philadelphia defamation suit against President Trump was breathed yesterday, March 12, when Common Pleas Court Judge Michael E. Erdos sanctioned plaintiff attorney J. Conor Corcoran for breaching rules of professional conduct.
Corcoran, in June, asked that a protective order be placed against co-defendants Greg Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes. He claimed they threatened him and his client former Delaware County, Pa. Voting Machine Warehouse supervisor James Savage.
Corcoran demanded they pay $15,000 in attorney fees. He also demanded they stay a mile away from him, his client; and to surrender their firearms along with any “incendiary devices.”
Erdos found that Corcoran, who became flustered under cross-examination by non-attorneys Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes, was not credible.
Hence the sanctions.
Rudy Giuliani was the fourth co-defendant in the case.
Trump’s attorneys, by the way, were not in attendance.
Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes have provided notice that they will file Dragonetti Act and SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) lawsuits against Corcoran and others.
Stenstrom says this is the first use of the “truth is a complete defense” in 2020 election defamation cases.
“The election was stolen, and they did exactly what we said they did,” Stenstrom said. “This is the first case we are aware of where discovery was reached and defendants evidence was allowed to be admitted.”
More details can be found at Patriot.Online.
Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes will be speaking 6 p.m., March 21, at Gatsby’s Bar and Grill, 4936 Pennell Road, Aston, Pa. 19014.

Leah and Greg are just fantastic when it comes to standing up against these henchmen of deceit! SLAAP these nasty practicioners of election interference in every form and MAKE THEM PAY!!
I had the privilege of watching this hearing. Hoopes and Stenstrom were stellar! At one point the attorney for Conor Corcoran, blurted out frustration over the hearing taking so long. He was very obviously not knowledgeable about the facts of the case. He complained that Hoopes and Stenstrom, the pro se defendants, didn’t know what they were talking about. Judge Erdos replied, “No. you are wrong. They know exactly what they are talking about.” This was the 3rd hearing they had in front of Judge Erdos. The Judge saw right through Corcoran and sanctioned him for lying to the court, which was demonstrated by effective impeachment on cross examination by Hoopes and Stenstrom. The judge is a Democrat. He is also patient, thoughtful, and fair. This was a very good day!
