Still happens to the best of people but more rarely as awareness sets in.

When asked for views or opinions on a news story, the first response should be “where’s the story coming from, who is reporting?” We hear such people as Mark Levin ask those questions frequently.

Most every time the second response should be “We’ll see about that” or “I don’t know about that.”

A wise person will say “I don’t know”, then fold their arms saying “We’ll see.”

A fool will do the opposite.

Some reporters work extraordinarily hard to build credibility. A few that come to mind are John Solomon, Paul Sperry, Sharyl Attkisson.

She promised major revelations and never produced squat.

She produced money and publicity for herself, which was probably the sole reason for her actions.

I have seen MANY errors in court filings. Should not ever be one, true... but it happens. The more complexed and rushed the filing, the more likely it is to happen.

I have had to explain similar errors in depositions and in court and have identified errors that completely reversed the correct statement both in legal and medical documents.

What really matters is if there is evidence of fraud, not if no typographical error was made. Witnesses are required to testify about such exhibits so there is always the oportunity to clarify what exactly an exhibit indicates.

Yes, it is true that evidence of fraud is the important thing. But the credibility of said evidence will always be judged on its source.

Both Powell and Giulliani went on television multiple times making claims—and as we see they are being sued for defamation for those claims.

Many of those claims were NOT opinions or legal theories, but rather statements that can be verified as true or false.

Smartmatic has filed suit against both Powell and Giulliani, claiming that their software was used in one county (Los Angeles County, CA) during the Nov 2020 election. That is a statement that can be verified or debunked.

They also claim that their software is not used on Dominion voting machines. Again, that is true or not true.

The Secretary of State office in each state has to make public its election logistics, including which companies have be awarded contracts for equipment and software in every election.

This can be a useful link too: www.verifiedvoting.com/

It keeps track of what type of voting/tabulation equipment and software is being used where, and if you can’t find on their site which companies’ products are being used where.they give you the link to the Secretary of State office for each state, and the information can be either found on the website or obtained through phone calls and emails.

Smartmatic has a VERY strong case against Powell, because, it appears... she lied. And if they take her down with their suit, it will lend more credibility to the other law suits that have been filed on this matter—including Dominion’s.

We should have gotten someone better to make the case that needed to be made.

1) That Smartmatic software flipped votes in Michigan and Georgia. Smartmatic software was not used in Michigan or Georgia.

I agree. The sad fact is this: She couldn't prove her case. None of it and yes, she was given opportunities to do so. The judge in WI all but begged the Trump team to present any evidence they had.

Trump was not served well by Powell. Now, she is down to a desperate legal maneuver to keep from losing everything she has. She took a lot of people, especially those on this board for a long ride. It sucks being lied to but that is what she did to us

So... What exactly is the defamation?

Is it that she said smartmatic was used in counties where there was voter fraud when it was not used in those counties?

If there were no votor fraud in those counties, why would it be defamatory to say their software was used in those counties?

Well, specifically that Smartmatic had rigged and/or stolen the election, and that it was intentionally designed to do so.

And there’s more... about how the company was founded, who it is owned by, and who they conspired with.

Their claim is here:

Here is the latest Mike Lindell video documenting the 2020 election fraud. This Physicist reverse-engineered the election fraud algorithms employed by China.
