A lot of us took them at their words because of the high esteem in which we held them in and many, including myself, put our personal credibility on the line went on record supporting their claims.
They produced witnesses who testified under oath as to the veracity of those claims and that they had seen or possessed the proof.
They then never produced any real or hard evidence to back up what they were claiming. Given the circumstances, it is reasonable to assume that if they had the evidence, they would have produced it. This is kind of significant. For example, it Powell had attached some serious documentary evidence with their filing to the Supreme Court to back up their allegations, the Court would have had no choice but hear the case. This makes some people feel like it was all just one big bluff
OK, you are saying there is no evidence of election fraud because the courts are not corrupt and would have accepted the cases had there been evidence. Sidney Powell only has a few thousand affidavits and nothing else, and the affidavits are not evidence. Got it.
