Sidney Powell and her vaunted “Kraken” election fraud lawsuits have now been summarily dismissed by federal judges in not one, but two different states: Georgia and Michigan. Making matters worse for the bombastic attorney, the dismissals have come in bipartisan fashion, first from an Obama-appointed judge in Michigan and then from a George W. Bush appointee in Georgia. Really not a good outcome or look at all for Powell, who has deployed the most inflammatory rhetoric imaginable around her challenges to the obvious Democrat fraud that took place around the November 3 elections.
Here’s an excerpt from a Detroit Free Press story on the Michigan dismissal:
A Michigan federal judge has ruled against a sweeping legal bid to overturn election results in the state, determining the lawsuit brought by an ally of President Donald Trump was riddled with “theories, conjecture and speculation” but little evidence of wrongdoing.
U.S. District Judge Linda V. Parker ruled against a request from Sidney Powell — an attorney disavowed by the Trump campaign who still champions its causes — to force the state to award its electoral votes to Trump despite President-elect Joe Biden winning the state.
“In fact, this lawsuit seems to be less about achieving the relief Plaintiffs seek — as much of that relief is beyond the power of this Court — and more about the impact of their allegations on People’s faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government,” reads a portion of the 36-page opinion.
“Plaintiffs ask this Court to ignore the orderly statutory scheme established to challenge elections and to ignore the will of millions of voters. This the Court cannot, and will not, do. The people have spoken.”
Ouch.
Now, here’s an excerpt from an 11Alive.com story about the Georgia decision:
ATLANTA — UPDATE: Judge Timothy Batten in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia has dismissed the lawsuit.
A similar suit in Michigan was also dismissed this morning.
It’s likely Powell will appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, which itself over the weekend dismissed a similar suit brought by the attorney Lin Wood.
The sprawling suit at its core alleges a wide-ranging conspiracy perpetrated by international and domestic actors to use Dominion Voting Systems, the company that makes the voting machines for Georgia and a number of other states, to rig the election for Joe Biden, in large part by switching votes from President Trump to Biden.
Georgia’s hand-count audit of all 5 million of Georgia’s paper votes (both those printed out by the Dominion machines, which were reviewed by voters, and those submitted by mail) confirmed the original machine count, and a machine recount has so far confirmed those two previous counts, making it highly implausible the results were manipulated at any point.
Powell and those who have given testimony for her have instead argued that in Georgia, fraudulent ballots were inserted into the system and the hand-count was conducted in a manner to deliberately overlook them. They have not offered direct material evidence of this, instead at a Georgia Senate hearing last week presenting data analysis and accounts of various individuals who served as poll workers or observers during the election and audit.

Ms. Powell, for whom I continue to have great respect, will no doubt appeal both cases up the chain until she can get one or both heard before the U.S. Supreme Court. But in doing so, she and her cohort Lin Wood would be well-advised to spend less time doing media interviews and staging pep rallies and more time compiling actual proof of their claims. Doing that would be a real service to everyone.
Meanwhile, Business Insider has a story today indicating that Goldman Sachs management may have finally had enough of Bill De Blasio’s and Andrew Cuomo’s high taxes and general bullshit and is preparing to move its asset management operations to Florida.
Here’s an excerpt from that wonderful story:
Goldman Sachs, an icon of New York finance headquartered in a downtown Manhattan skyscraper a short walk from Wall Street, is considering shifting its asset management operations to Florida, according to a new report.
Company executives have looked at possible South Florida office space near Miami, covering areas like Palm Beach County and Fort Lauderdale, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg News.
If the plans pan out, the bank would join other New York-based financial services firms in making similar moves out of the state and to cheaper states and markets as the coronavirus pandemic spurred a wave of remote work.
Goldman Sachs has been speaking with local Florida officials and considering the lower taxes there, per the report. While Bloomberg reported that it is unclear how many people could locate there, staff would include a mix of back-office staff and investment professionals, according to two of the people Bloomberg spoke with.

Hey, anything bad happening to the despicable creeps who run New York is great for the rest of the country.
Just a bit of good news on an otherwise gloomy day.
That is all.
2. With that said, unless the aim of Wood and Powell is just to get cheers from crowds, I do agree they should focus more on winning and less on crowd excitement. As great as pumping out crowds is, the main focus should be winning. A win beats throbbing adulation crowds.
Wrong, both forms of election fraud were employed on a massive scale.
The shadow government knows we won’t do anything.
Will post on a few forms go about our business.
We cannot lay claim to any founders philosophies or quotes
Trump is Kracken down, US Army has proof of foreign involvement in the massive election fraud.
When I visited NYC a few years ago, I looked up what the jobs looked like there. It appeared to me a large number of them involved people working at computers. And I thought, this work could be done anywhere, least of all where the office space is expensive, the cost of living high, and the commute painful.
2. If the election is rigged by having millions of ballots cast illegally, then why is the “vote-switching” software even needed?
“A win beats throbbing adulation crowds.”
Smart lawyers win in the lower courts and force the other side to appeal all the way to SCOTUS.
2) The traditional methods require lesser skills and are generally more reliable. Not all places use the newer computer applications with the available gimmicks, so in some cases you have to go back to basics.
But if you want real-time fraudulent totals reported on the the major networks, nothing can beat a good computer application that can adjust the tallies while you watch.
If the gimmicks work properly, you can have this project wrapped up by 10:00PM for the national networks to call your candidates the "winners". Who could possibly argue with that?
Oops. Standby.
Yeah, the Brits were gonna crush Jackson and his Americans at New Orleans, too. That didn’t turn out too well for them. This moment in history is of at least of equal significance for the continuation of America, and President Trump is our Jackson raised up for this moment!
re Goldman
re deBlasio
If the liberals (esp. Goldman clients) around Palm Beach would have their (pro-deBlasio, pro-Obama, pro-Hillary) way, Florida would not be a desireable destination.
And the US Army cyber intelligence team is not talking to anyone. Trump is still very confident. He knows what is going on behind the curtain. We need to be patient and trust in Trump’s team.
“The system of Law has failed us.”
We have a great legal system that is only rarely aligned with achieving justice.
How foolish of me. I forgot that we have the finest legal system that money can buy.
If the buyers want Justice, we get Justice. If the buyers want something else, we get something else. The machinery is working as designed.
I'm not feeling so good myself.
DB’s street walking Nazi David Blackmon cute reference to Sidney Powell as “Bombastic” should be questioned
I wouldn’t have expected anything else. Neither Powell or Wood are representatives of the Trump campaign. Everything they throw at the wall will be smacked down by judges. When you get Sekulow and other members of Trump’s legal Team in front of the judges, especially as they move into the higher courts, there will be more conversation.
Every judge will punt until it gets to SCOTUS. I think if anything, this was Trump’s plan all along. Why would any judge in his or her right mind want to make a decision on this?
No one has standing
It certainly explained why fractional votes were reported.
As in 11,242.75
“Not claiming fraud in counties that don’t exist would be maybe a good idea, too.”
Yup.
