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."

That is how you get disbarred.
Now we see why Trump distanced himself.
“Now we see why Trump distanced himself.”
Hopefully she and Lin Wood get the help they need.
You mean if the judge rules in favor of her claim Powell wins, and if he rules against it the deep state loses?
does this mean that the CIA server farm raid in Germany didn’t seize the computers used to switch votes from Trump to Biden?
“XiNN”
Need I remind you that these "news" outlets lie about everything?
If CNN says it, it must be true. /sarc
A DC judge is going to chew her to pieces.
That’s some sound legal work there, Sidney.
Do you stand up in court snd say, “No reasonable person would believe my client is not guilty!”
If you make it to the fifth paragraph they actually say the truth.
That’s pretty exceptional for CNN!
Usually they just stick with the lies like they do here for four paragraphs.
I see this is the 舊敗等（Jiu Baideng） fan club operative thread.
Yup.
Apparently too many folks here don't have the attention span to make it all the way to the fifth paragraph.
We've been exposed to the avalanche of lies for so long that we've learned to stand clear and let other more unwary freepers get buried in the snowdrifts of untruths and halftruths.
It's actually kind of amusing.
see my post #15
It means the ballot stuffing with mail in ballots was the whole game and chasing systematic vote changing with Dominion is likely not a part of that equation.
Sidney was warned but it appears she got fooled by bad leads.
Others knew that was a dead end putting aside some instances of machine voting issues.
The focus should have been on the mail in ballots all along.
No need to read further than that slanderous propaganda.
From the article, “Dominion claims that Powell knew her election fraud accusations were false and hurtful to the company.”
I don’t understand how Dominion could KNOW these things. Is Sidney doing a “don’t throw me in the briar patch”?
And I certainly don’t understand what her lawyer did in that filing/argument.
Is she just yesterday’s hero now?
