Sidney Powell Handed Win After Judges Dismiss Disciplinary Effort by Texas State Bar

Sidney Powell, a lawyer who filed lawsuits after the 2020 election, got a win in Texas after an appeals court ruled that the Texas bar did not prove that she engaged in misconduct or fraud.

A panel of judges on the Fifth District of Texas Court of Appeals in Dallas ruled Wednesday that the state bar’s arguments lacked merit and evidence. They found that state bar prosecutors “employed a ’scattershot' approach to the case” that had alleged Ms. Powell did not have a reasonable basis to file lawsuits that challenged the 2020 election’s outcome in battleground states.

“The Bar employed a ‘scattershot’ approach to the case, which left this court and the trial court ‘with the task of sorting through the argument to determine what issue ha[d] actually been raised,'” Justice Dennise Garcia wrote in the court’s ruling. “Having done so, the absence of competent summary judgment compels our conclusion that the Bar failed to meet its summary judgment burden.” A separate court had sided with Ms. Powell in the case last year, finding “numerous defects” in the evidence presented by the State Bar of Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline. The court also found that the bar couldn’t provide evidence that she filed frivolous lawsuits.

“Under these circumstances and on this record, we conclude the trial court did not err in granting Powell’s no-evidence motion for summary judgment,” the appeals court wrote.

Irrational hatred of a person is no foundation upon which to build an argument, albeit a specious argument.

You should let it go.

No animus whatsoever. I found her to be a fraud way back when she represented Gen Flynn. I read and listened to her in the media. Freepers gobbled up her rhetoric. I also listened to her arguments at the US Court of Appeals for Flynn. Did you? They were ridiculous. C
Freepers got taken in by that mess, which bordered on fraud, as it was lies. Facts, not animus.

Even more concerning, the Texas Bar thinks that.

Considering the low opinion most people have of lawyers, the state bar associations could well start to lose their power to regulate lawyers.

“No animus whatsoever.”
Uh huh!
I’m no Powell apologist, and no Wood fan, but I certainly believe there was obvious election deception evident that no court in the land wanted to touch with a ten foot pole.
I have no idea what real evidence of cheating exists. Nor do you.
But, to quote others “Where’s there’s smoke there’s fire.”
By your broad indictment of her motives, and in order to maintain your logic, you must believe that President Trump is guilty of actionable fraud as well.
