Evidence Disclosure may be interesting.

Oh, for crying out loud.

Powell’s defense of General Flynn was and is a legitimate legal engagement. The Dominion fiasco is speculation at best.

Unless Powell, or whomever, is able produce provable substantive evidence - IOW, physical evidence that will convince a grand jury, and withstand the rigorous cross-examination procedures of a courtroom trial - then the entirety of Powell’s Dominion case is highly suspect. The fact that, even at this late hour, Powell has failed to present even a modicum of substantive evidence speaks volumes as to the reliability and credibility of her claimed “evidence” against Dominion, et al.

This is why I state that she was likely caught in a complex game of deception - a mirage of disinformation purposely sent to her by deep state operatives. I would prefer to give Powell the benefit of the doubt - that she is not so gullible or incompetent as to uncritically believe and pursue whatever spurious sources she may have gleaned from the internet, as do so many - including FReepers.

And, in my estimation, this particularly holds true for the supposed “shoot-out” at the “German sever farm.” Unless irrefutable physical evidence can be put into the spotlight, the “server” claim should never have been made public.

For these reason - and much more I am certain - Trump and his legal team early on ditched both Sidney Powell and Lin Wood. You have to consider the rationale for their making that decision.

“Dominion is requesting damages of more than $1.3 billion”

I would’ve gone for a trillion!

Dominion is just trying to intimidate Sidney Powell.

Dominion is scared to death about discovery. All the contracts and communications with their customers are fair game, as is the history of ownership and the fact that votes can be switched with programs and an internet connection.

State officials who were involved with purchasing decisions will have to turn over all the contracts with Dominion and related records. They won’t want to do that.

If Dominion destroys evidence, Sidney Powell wins due to speciation of evidence.

Sidney Powell disbarred? Not a chance. She lives in Texas. Plus there would have to be a hearing in which she is allowed to obtain discovery. She has got shit on the Texas bar association that they don’t want revealed as it relates to DOJ attorneys and the Enron and the Arthur Anderson prosecutions.

They filed suit in Washington DC. Odds of Powell getting a judge who doesn’t hate her and Trump? Near zero. Odds of the appeal court in DC treating Powell nicely? Near zero. She’ll needs tons of evidence and hasn’t produced much of anything yet that has stood up in court.

AND they are asking for a jury trial. A jury drawn from...Washington DC. She’s in trouble.

“23. This Court has personal jurisdiction over all Defendants pursuant to § 13-423 of
the District of Columbia Code because Defendants: (i) transacted business within the
District of Columbia; (ii) caused tortious injury by acts committed within the District of Columbia,
including and specifically by making false and defamatory statements about Dominion from within
the District of Columbia; (iii) and caused tortious injury by acts committed outside the
District of Columbia while regularly doing business within, engaging in persistent conduct within,
and deriving substantial revenue from services rendered within the District of Columbia.

24. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Sidney Powell because she travelled to
the District of Columbia shortly after the election and then made defamatory statements about
Dominion from within the District of Columbia, including to members of the Trump Campaign,
to Donald Trump, at a press conference on November 19, 2020, and during various media
appearances in November and December. Powell did multiple defamatory media appearances
giving rise to the case from a hotel room in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.—
and, upon such information and belief, stayed in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.—
and, upon such information and belief, stayed in the Trump International Hotel in Washington,
D.C. during much of the time period relevant to this case. Powell was in Washington, D.C. when
she repeatedly visited the White House in December to pressure Donald Trump to appoint her
special counsel to investigate the false accusations giving rise to this defamation case. In addition,
Powell regularly travels to and transacts business within the District of Columbia, and she derives
substantial revenue from such services rendered within the District of Columbia, including by
soliciting funds to her fundraising website and by representing Michael Flynn in the District Court
for the District of Columbia.”

We will see. It sure looks they are are not afraid of discovery as they have already filed suit. If they back out, then you will have a point but it looks like they won’t back down at this time

I guess we’ll eventually see how this plays out. As I stated to another, I believe Powell may have been the victim of a deep state disinformation campaign in regards to Dominion, Smartmatic, German servers, etc.

Powell is the first of many. Anyone who worked for Trump or openly supported him is in danger. I fear Americans are about to experience the iron hand of tyranny our forefathers designed the Constitution to prevent.

That should be “spoliation of evidence”.
