Sidney Powell, a tenacious opponent during the 2020 election charade, has just received a significant court victory. But, before we get there, I’d like to say a few words about Sidney.
I know a lot of people hate her and blame her for turning the 2020 charade into a “circus” that no one took seriously.
Now, I understand why people are upset and frustrated by some of her outrageous claims. However, in my opinion, Sidney was duped by some dubious people who fed her a lot of nonsense.
She had faith in these people at a time when everything was crazy, chaotic, and moving at the speed of light.
I believe she became entangled with some unsavory characters as a result of the frenzy. So, with that said, Sidney has just won a big case in Texas.
A Texas judge dismissed an attorney discipline case against Trump ally Sidney Powell for allegedly engaging in frivolous post-election legal activity, concluding that state bar regulators failed to meet their burden in the case and had “numerous defects” in filings.
Here is more from Brunswick News:
A Texas judge has tossed out a disciplinary case against attorney Sidney Powell finding state bar regulators failed to present enough evidence to keep alive claims that she violated ethics rules by filing frivolous post-election lawsuits.
Powell, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump following the 2020 presidential election, lead a series of unsuccessful legal efforts to contest President Joe Biden’s wins in battleground states. She also promoted conspiracy theories of widespread election fraud, including that voting machine software had flipped votes for Trump to Biden and had its origins in election-rigging efforts in Venezuela.
The Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline filed a case against Powell last March in state district court in Dallas County, accusing her of professional misconduct. Bar regulators won an earlier round, with Judge Andrea Bouressa denying Powell’s motion to dismiss the case last summer.
But in a four-page order entered on Wednesday, Bouressa, a Republican appointee of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, found that the commission failed to meet its burden on several claims it had lodged against Powell and simply failed to respond to Powell’s challenges to others.
The judge identified “numerous defects” with the commission’s court filings, noting that exhibits were mislabeled or not cited in its briefs. She wrote that she “alerted the parties to difficulty locating materials cited in the Commission’s brief, but the Commission responded that no corrective action was necessary.
Finally, I believe that the 2020 election was more about Ballot Harvesting than anything else. That is far more difficult to track and prove than reprogramming a large number of voting machines. Now, I’m not saying those machines are perfect or safe, or that they can’t be hacked or manipulated – but I believe Ballot Harvesting was the method used in 2020 and 2022.
I also believe Sidney is still a great lawyer, and I believe she meant well at the time.
