Sidney Powell argues in new court filing that no reasonable people would believe her election fraud claims

Right-wing lawyer Sidney Powell is claiming in a new court filing that reasonable people wouldn't have believed as fact her assertions of fraud after the 2020 presidential election.

The election infrastructure company Dominion Voting Systems sued Powell for defamation after she pushed lawsuits and made appearances in conservative media on behalf of then-President Donald Trump to sow doubt about the 2020 election results. Dominion claims that Powell knew her election fraud accusations were false and hurtful to the company.

In a new court filing, Powell's attorneys write that she was sharing her "opinion" and that the public could reach "their own conclusions" about whether votes were changed by election machines.

"Given the highly charged and political context of the statements, it is clear that Powell was describing the facts on which she based the lawsuits she filed in support of President Trump," Powell's defense lawyers wrote in a court filing on Monday.

"Indeed, Plaintiffs themselves characterize the statements at issue as 'wild accusations' and 'outlandish claims.' They are repeatedly labelled 'inherently improbable' and even 'impossible.' Such characterizations of the allegedly defamatory statements further support Defendants' position that reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact but view them only as claims that await testing by the courts through the adversary process."

The focus should have been on the mail in ballots all along.

Welp.

Considering that the only two locales where there's an actual effort to examine the non-folded "mail-in" ballots are Maricopa and Fulton, and that the ballot-jackers there have been stonewalling successfully for five months, it wouldn't have mattered if the focus was there all along.

As for Milwaukee, Michigan and Philly - fuggedaboutit.

You won't get within a mile of those phony mail-in "ballots".

It is seriously disturbing when a bunch of CNN crap can get this site so worked up.

... and Powell supporters would attack me for saying that I certainly didn’t believe a word from her- because she was a partisan advocate! The very defense she’s making.

Quite an education from my years here. What a blessing Jim gave to this country!

But it occurs to me that old guys, now that I am one, have always considered the media news garbage. My Father and Grandfather did. Now I do.
With age comes (some) wisdom...

And to imagine I totally believed that there were shootouts between the CIA and Delta Force in Frankfurt over that .../sarcasm.

She’s correct. No reasonable person would have believed her.

CNN spin, clearly. These are Sidney’s ‘claims’, which I believe will be proven true.

Aren’t all legal cases based on conflicting claims ?

In Michigan, 71% of the Wayne County precincts were "unbalanced", and so could not be recounted.

Soros bitches Nazi Nessel and Commie Benson were running top cover for the Michigan Steal, and machine-gunning anyone who made a noise about it.

Philly and Milwaukee just brazened it out, in the usual way.

I especially like the ending ...

"I spoke to Dominion people and they said plan B worked all across the country. Special thanks to Stacey Abrams, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Raphael Warnock. Don't worry Raphael you gonna beat that white bitch because we did it for you and Joe Biden better give us a pardon for it lol." - Ruby Freeman

Ruby really know how to close a essay. Class an' style an' grace an' stuff.
