Deceased, the Kraken. Attorney Sidney Powell, the lawyer who was perhaps the most outspoken proponent of the theory that the election was stolen and had promised evidence “of biblical proportions”, has voluntarily dismissed her final appeal concerning the Georgia results.
One of Powell's core arguments was that the software used by Dominion and other providers changed enough votes around the country to rig the election in favor of president-elect Biden. In recent days, she has become uncharacteristically subdued in her comments. This is due, in large part, to the $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit that Dominion filed against her. That suit supported its allegations with pages and pages of specifics, demonstrating that what Powell has been alleging has no basis in fact. (Again a reminder: the lawsuit is in its early stages. You should draw no legal conclusions until all evidence is presented.)
The timing of Powell’s lawsuit dismissal would not appear to be coincidental. It is likely that the Dominion lawyers will point to any continuing efforts by Powell to discredit Dominion as a part of computing the damages resulting from her conduct. From all appearances, her dismissal today could be construed an attempt to cut some of her potential liability.
In other arenas, Powell is also facing complaints for filing frivolous lawsuits. The true believers who have contributed to her attorneys fees through her online solicitations must be having second thoughts. [Written on January 19, 2021]
