Sidney Powell drops some bombshells on Lou Dobbs.:
Transcript:
POWELL: I’ve just got some stunning evidence from a witness, a high-ranking military officer who was present when Smart-Matic was designed. And I’m gonna just read you some of these statements, if you don’t mind, so I get them exactly right:
From the Affidavit: Designed in a way that the system could change the vote of each voter without being detected. He wanted the software itself to function in such a manner that if the voter were to place their thumbprint or fingerprint on a scanner, then the thumbprint would be tied to a record of the voter’s name and identity as having voted, but that voter would not be tracked to the changed vote.
He made it clear that the system would have to be set up but not leave any evidence of the changed vote for the specific voter, and that there would be no evidence to show, and nothing to contradict that the name and the fingerprint or thumbprint was going with a changed vote. SmartMatic agreed to create such a system and produced the software and the hardware that accomplished the result for President [Hugo] Chavez.
After the SmartMatic electoral system was put into place, he closely observed several elections where the results were manipulated using the SmartMatic software. Once such election was in 2006, when Chavez was running against Rosales. Chavez won with a landslide over Rosales, a margin of nearly 6 million votes for Chavez, vs. 3.7 million for Rosales.
In 2013, he witnessed another Venezuelan national election where the SmartMatic system was used to manipulate and change the results. In a control room where multiple digital display screens were shown for results and voting, the actual voting results were fed into that room and onto the displays over an Internet feed, which was connected to a sophisticated computer system created by SmartMatic.
People in that room were able to see in real time whether the votes that came through the electronic voting system was in their favor or against them. If one looked at any particular screen, they could determine that the vote from any specific area or as a national total was going to be against either candidate. Persons controlling the vote tabulating computer had the ability to change the reporting of votes by moving votes from one candidate to another by using the SmartMatic software.

Now, that is indeed stunning if true. And if Sidney Powell is on TV reading it, I have no doubt at all that she believes it to be true.
But here’s the problem: It’s an affidavit signed by a witness whose identity we don’t know. If this is all Powell and the Trump team of lawyers have to present on the matter, it will not likely convince a judge or panel of judges to take any action at all.
Later in the interview, Powell goes onto allege that the same SmartMatic/Dominion system has been used to change the outcomes of elections all over the world, and alleges that the CIA would have to know about it if this was indeed happening. Unfortunately, when pressed on that allegation towards the CIA and its potential complicity, Powell only responds that “it’s simple logic.” Which is true, but which also is not going to convince any court in America to take any action absent some documentary evidence.
She and Dobbs both also point out the fact that former vice-admiral Peter Neffinger is the chairman of SmartMatic, and also now sits on the steering committee for the Biden/Harris Harris/Biden transition team. This is also very interesting and frankly shocking, but in and of itself will not be likely to convince a judge to do anything.
Next in the interview, Dobbs reveals that he has received news from an unidentified “source” who he describes as “highly reliable” that the FBI has a team “looking into” the conduct of this election. Yippee! Our dumpster fire FBI is “looking into” it! So, maybe 5-6 years from now we might see some kind of “report” on it all, but more likely it will come to nothing given that a real investigation would benefit the Bad Orange Man everyone in DC is trying to get rid of.
Again, all of this is very interesting, and I have little doubt that most, if not all of the allegations coming from the Trump team are true.
But – and there is always this “but” – they will be asking a series of judges, probably all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States – to take radical, unprecedented action to basically either reverse or disqualify the vote counting in several individual states. In all of their interviews over the past week, I have yet to hear Powell or Rudy Giuliani talk about having anything more than witness testimony in their possession.
These are all bombshells for sure, but if witness testimony is all they have, then their court cases are destined to fail. Obviously, no smart lawyer is ever going to reveal their whole case publicly before a trial, and all we can do is hope that Powell, Giuliani and their team have been holding some even bigger bombshells in their hip pockets.
That is all.
This is true. Witnesses are not going to do it. Judges are looking for a preponderance of evidence.
Witness testimony is evidence.
The Supreme Court is not going to invalidate an election because of a few witnesses. You are in dream territory. Powell and Rudy need to stick with demanding audited recounts and getting mail in ballots thrown out because they violated state election laws. That’s something a SCOTUS justice can get excited over.
Yes, that too, thank you.
I’m not in dream territory. You said the Court needed evidence. I noted that witness testimony is evidence. I paid attention in law school. Did you?
That little urse has been played at FR before, and even at me. The fraud who tried it disappeared when Bush was inaugurated. You people are absolutely disgusting vermin. You are the type who would cast lots over Jesus’s garments.
As an aside, Gateway Should be carefully used. That site is kind of a mess when it comes to facts.
Yes, we need evidence in court.
There are too many different stories being passed around through sources like GO and YouTube. Very few of those outrageous accounts can pass the test to become evidence.
I think there will be people pointing to this stuff after the EC votes. The fact that it is not admissible should be remembered.
If you are a lawyer you should know better. Lin Wood is pursuing a winnable case in GA because the SOS committed blatant violation of election law.
I’m just saying that witness testimony is evidence, and weighed along with or against other evidence. It’s not controversial.
I’m glad you thought that out.
I agree. Gateway is mixed. They get stories early but sometime they are sensationalized and hyped. I use them and then look for corroborating or add’l material.
I am more optimistic than you but my main point is let the process play out before hanging crepe.
I did, many of those bets, in recurring weekly donations to Win Red.

Donald Trump is not Jesus. Don't have quite the confidence eh?

Talk is cheap.
What a d!ck.
What do you consider proof in a case of electronic voter theft?
Who is David Blackmon? What has he done that makes his opinion more credible than mine?
That is all she is telling us.
What a d!ck.
Your words not mine, but it does seem he wants to run his mouth.
No, it is circumstantial evidence. Hearsay is not admissible while many cases have been won on on a good presentation of circumstantial evidence.
