Sidney Powell, the pro-Trump lawyer who spread baseless claims of election fraud, moved Monday to dismiss Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit against her.

But if it went to court, wouldn’t that provide the opportunity to present 5he evidence?
Her words said no reasonable person would believe her accusations against Dominion.
“Her words said no reasonable person would believe her accusations against Dominion.”
Not really. Looks to me like she is saying no reasonable person would believe her accusations UNLESS PROVEN IN COURT - and she never got to court. Her point as argued was that in politics, people remain skeptical until serious proof is given, and since it never went to trail, no “reasonable person” would believe her accusations JUST BECAUSE SHE MADE THEM and therefor Dominion had no damage done.
I’m not a lawyer and also not a fan of Sidney Powell, but I think you are mischaracterizing her argument.
From the article itself (note the quotation marks).
Powell argues in her motion that "no reasonable person" would conclude that her accusations of Dominion's election-rigging scheme "were truly statements of fact."
There is a difference between an accusation and a 'statement of fact' in the legal sense. And you know this.
Stop twisting words to fit your narrative. Specially when your narrative is wrong (as usual).
There is no reason to believe she will get a fair hearing or that the evidence will be admitted into the court. She hasn't yet.
Sydney doesn't want to have to pay a bajillion dollars to the kangaroo court.
Its better if she could get into a court room as the plaintiff.
OMG she is basically saying the stuff coming out of her mouth was so insane that no one with a brain would believe it. So funny!! What a screwball she turned out to be. This is so tragic it’s hilarious.
I bet you misunderstood comic books when you were a kid.
Its okay. There will always be a place for the simple people. Somebody has to make my french fries.
Does that mean Powell has license to say any damn thing she wants?
Does she have immunity from defamation?
Doubtful..
Wow. It took thirty posts before somebody finally gets it right.
I'm guessing you actually read the motion to dismiss instead of relying on Axios or Rooters to give you Powell's full argument.
That same line is in every press story i've seen by the AP, Wash. Post, NYSlimes, etc. about the election or election controversy (e.g.Dem reps challenging Pub wins). It's a standard phrase shared among all mainstream media "journalists" and like Soviet propaganda, if repeated enough the sheeple will begin to believe it.
You stick with Screwball Sydney. That’s the smart play. She’s got this. The Kracken are on the way!
Not everybody on FR is a sponge and regurgitator of the derp media line. Just most.
And those same brain prisoners (the usual suspects) gravitate to threads about patriots fighting for truth, justice, and the American way.
Interesting, neh?
I will, thanks.
And you stick with the derp state. That's the REAL smart play.
“Does she have immunity from defamation?”
Talk to a lawyer. But in political debate, defamation probably needs to meet a pretty high standard.
Knowing how the media lie I read the filing.
Not a lawyer.
Lyn claims her statements should not be believed by a reasonable person because she was an avowed advocate.
[I certainly had that response when I saw them and started ignoring her early on as a liar].
Yet elsewhere she claims the protections of a journalist and a media outlet. in fact she claims every protection for her speech as can be made under any rubric. No idea how that will work out for her since I’m not a lawyer.
Anuyway, should be fun.
Were you formally trained to think small?
I don’t have to listen to anything from them.
Never have, never will.
I was formally trained to call bullshit when I see it.
And to call crazy, crazy.
Then you weren’t paying attention because everything I’ve ever seen you post was communist friendly.
Let me just ask you straight out. Do you believe Biden won fair and square?
If you do, I have a bridge to sell you, and if you act now, I will throw in a second for just shipping and handling.
