Having read numerous briefs submitted by Powell, it was evident that she was not to be taken seriously.

I still think there were a lot of illegal votes in that election. At issue is not their existence, but the inability to prove it. To me, it just proves the Dems are very skilled at cheating.

She is calling millions of people unreasonable. At this point, I hope she ends up living on the street.

I disagree, and this piece of crap you posted needed a barf alert

She just needs to cite the coverage of the fake news media telling the world she was delusional, crazy, and all this was nonsense...

I would love to know what Rush’s thoughts are on this.

I think the story is fake news. From Powell's team on Telegram:

"- This defamation lawsuit is yet another attempt to silence critics and citizens who want to investigate voter fraud. The statements Dominion claims are defamatory are actually protected speech under the First Amendment because they deal with matters of public concern, i.e., election integrity. The Fake News media and their allies are spinning meritless claims because their arguments have neither the facts nor the law needed to hold up in a courtroom.

- The statements complained of are also protected because Dominion is a public figure and must prove that Ms. Powell acted with malice. This is impossible, as Ms. Powell’s lawyer has explained, because Ms. Powell’s statements were based on sworn affidavits, declarations, expert reports and documentary evidence. She presented this evidence for all to see in four court filings and on her website.

FAKE NEWS

- Contrary to what the Fake News is pushing, Sidney did NOT claim in court that ‘no reasonable person would believe her claims’. The press is using twisted legalese and manipulating the legal standard to confuse the issue, as they have done before in other high-profile cases. Ms. Powell’s statements were legal opinions that she stands behind, as they were based on sworn affidavits, declarations, expert reports and documentary evidence.

- Dominion claims that the evidence Ms. Powell relied upon to assert her claims concerning the lack of election integrity is incredible and not believable. Ms. Powell responded by pointing out that her assertions were her legal opinions based on the evidence she presented to four different courts. Accordingly, her statements are not subject to challenge under defamation law."

She’ll be lucky if she lands a job mopping floors at MacDonalds after this.

I think she offers a solid defense considering she’s a KooK only taken seriously by fellow KooKs.

I believe the election was rigged and Dominion was all over it - they just covered their tracks so well it’s going to be impossible for Powell to prove - and she knows it.

If Dominion goes ahead, she is in deep trouble.

People are being stupid. Dominion started in their filing that her claims were outlandish, impossible, and completely not believable. And she is merely making a legal argument that if no reasonable person would find her claim plausible, then dominion wasn’t defamed and there is nothing to test in court.

She isn’t backing down and her claims were accurate. But she is merely using he words of dominion against them in a legal sense.

In 2000, Gore had a very small target to contest the election. Trump had 6 states (we know of) to defend. The Dems made the fraud so massive it could not be litigated in the timeframe they had.

I started to have my doubts about her the moment I saw her utter “...release the Kraken...” with that silly smirk on her face.

She’s a carnie. We all saw it but some people wanted to believe her.

I posted this on another thread AFTER reading what Powell wrote:

“It looks to me like she is arguing no reasonable person would conclude her accusations were ALREADY PROVEN FACT, but rather conclude they were her sincerely held beliefs based on what she knew at the time that would require proving via a court battle.

Not that her accusations were so ridiculous that no reasonable person COULD believe them. Or so ridiculous that she was insane to make them. Just that they would not be accepted as factual by most people unless proven in a future court case. And thus Dominion did not suffer damage because there would be no damage to its reputation UNLESS proven in court - which she never had the chance to do.”

This is VERY different from the headline. I don’t like Sidney Powell. I strongly disagreed with her post election actions. But she did NOT write what the headline accuses her of writing.

Having read this specific Powell brief and your comment, I doubt that you read the brief.
