Trump campaign told to preserve all documents related to Sidney Powell and Dominion Voting Systems
CNN via MSN ^ | 12/20/2020 | Kaitlan Collins, Kevin Liptak and Pamela Brown

President Donald Trump's campaign legal team sent a memo to dozens of staffers Saturday instructing them to preserve all documents related to Dominion Voting Systems and Sidney Powell in anticipation of potential litigation by the company against the pro-Trump attorney.

The memo, viewed by CNN, references a letter Dominion sent to Powell this week demanding she publicly retract her accusations and instructs campaign staff not to alter, destroy or discard records that could be relevant.

A serious internal divide has formed within Trump's campaign following the election with tensions at their highest between the campaign's general counsel, Matt Morgan, who sent the memo Saturday, and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Though the campaign once distanced itself from Powell, Trump has been urging other people to fight like she has, according to multiple people familiar with his remarks. He has asked for more people making her arguments, which are often baseless and filled with conspiracy theories, on television.

Morgan wrote in the memo, "The Allegations within the letter dated December 16, 2020 reference the Campaign and lawyers who may have performed work for the Campaign. Even with references to the Campaign and some of its outside lawyers, the Campaign does not reasonably anticipate litigation against the Campaign at this time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Campaign views it as prudent to establish a litigation hold at this time to protect and preserve all rights and privileges that may exist under the law." The Trump campaign has declined to comment.

Dominion came under fire from the President and Powell, who baselessly claimed the system's voting machines altered votes from Trump to President-elect Joe Biden. Dominion has called the accusations meritless and noted Powell never made the claims in court.

RE: Check out Lin Wood’s tweet about Smartmatic threatening Sidney Powell with defamation and his letter to their atty. Quite succinct!

I might as well post the letter that he tweeted out:



Here's Atty. Lim Wood's TWEET:
Knowing my background & experience in defamation law, Sidney
@SidneyPowell1 asked me to represent her & respond to SmartMatic litigation threat.

Since everything Sidney is saying about election fraud is documented TRUTH, my response to SmartMatic was simple & to the point. FILE YOUR LAWSUIT.

Obama’s bizarro world continues.

Remember how Diebold sued the Democratic Party for destroying its business in 2004 when they claimed the Kerry election was stolen?

Dominion is getting things set up to more successfully steal the next election. These people plan ahead.

Anyone uttering a peep of resistance gets visited by a lawyer.

Shut up, bow the knee, and submit to your new masters.

Dominion is playing a game....they don’t have a legal leg to stand on and in fact some at the company may end up behind bars IMO.

Discovery would destroy them.

I bet they are all scared $hitless.....

Their “voting” equipment, ethics and perhaps their sanity is in grave doubt...

Oh, hey they can just refuse or shred them or destroy whatever they want, just like the voting officials are doing.

Dominion will likely go after Trump since he has more money. They will go where the money is. Trump has money so it will drag out and discovery is a bitch.

Can you say bluffing. No way they are going to open themselves up to discovery.

...
You are 100% right

They won’t sue


The steal is bipartisan in nature. No court in the land is giving POTUS a fair shake. Given that why wouldn’t they sue?

NOTE: Dominion did not send these letters until the Electoral College voted. Why not in November? It seems they waited until they believed Biden is a shoo-in, so they have nothing to lose now.

I was going to read the letter Smartmatic sent to Powell, but on about the second page I read:

“Government agencies and election officials have... verified the absence of evidence that voting systems deleted, lost, or changed votes. And, news organizations across the ideological spectrum, including the New York Times and Washington Post, have “fact checked” the false information...”

Stopped reading. Useless. They are bluffing, of course.

There is a thing called “discovery” that will be like a crucifix to a vampire.

The very thought of the possibility of examining DVS payments is likely to stress out a number of anti-MAGA's and Rino's.

Only more disinformation. Dominion does not want to be in courts where discovery is allowed. They’ll all be quickly in jail.

Has there been one time in the last four years that discovery has been beneficial for Team Trump? I can’t recall any. Dominion will just claim the dog ate their hard drives, a corrupt judge will cover for them and that will be that.
