Sidney Powell, a lawyer who filed lawsuits after the 2020 election, got a win in Texas after an appeals court ruled that the Texas bar did not prove that she engaged in misconduct or fraud.
A panel of judges on the Fifth District of Texas Court of Appeals in Dallas ruled Wednesday that the state bar’s arguments lacked merit and evidence. They found that state bar prosecutors “employed a ’scattershot' approach to the case” that had alleged Ms. Powell did not have a reasonable basis to file lawsuits that challenged the 2020 election’s outcome in battleground states.
“The Bar employed a ‘scattershot’ approach to the case, which left this court and the trial court ‘with the task of sorting through the argument to determine what issue ha[d] actually been raised,'” Justice Dennise Garcia wrote in the court’s ruling. “Having done so, the absence of competent summary judgment compels our conclusion that the Bar failed to meet its summary judgment burden.” A separate court had sided with Ms. Powell in the case last year, finding “numerous defects” in the evidence presented by the State Bar of Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline. The court also found that the bar couldn’t provide evidence that she filed frivolous lawsuits.
“Under these circumstances and on this record, we conclude the trial court did not err in granting Powell’s no-evidence motion for summary judgment,” the appeals court wrote.

I’m still waiting for The Kraken, my own self.
Me too.
Go, Sidney!!
Congrats!
Time to file a bar complaint against the state disciplinary folks for their frivolous action against Sidney Powell.
“did not prove that she engaged in misconduct or fraud.”
YThere was no Kraken — that is fraud.
Even more concerning, the Texas Bar thinks that.
Exactly
Being wrong and being fraudulent aren't two different things?
“Being wrong and being fraudulent aren’t two different things?”
Could be the same, and could be different. Depends upon the circumstance of usage and intent.
So what is the penalty to be imposed on the state bar prosecutors for abusing their position and victimizing Powell?
Yup.
My recollection is that the Trump election challenges were not ever heard in court, but were tossed out on various technicalities, e.g., “lack of standing” or missed deadlines. No judge wanted to hear the evidence because they feared what might happen to them if they ruled in favor of Trump.
She’s a poor mans Adam Schiff.
Interesting how the left can lie, defame and libel with impunity, but anybody on the right is prosecuted/persecuted - while being denied the ability to defend themselves and being denied access to exculpatory information and evidence . . .
Damn straight! How many times have we heard “there’s no proof” or “the allegations of fraud have been debunked” by the left, while, at the same time they claim FJB was exonerated by Robert Hur?
Ms. Kraken wasn’t wrong. She was fraudulent.
In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right.
What unfair or unlawful gain did Ms. Powell receive, and which person(s) and legal right(s) was she supposed, by you, to have deprived others?
Just asking for a friend.
A Texas court last year and now the Fifth District of Texas Court of Appeals doesn't agree with you.
You haven’t been paying attention to her career - including General Flynn’s case.
