OK, let's look at Sidney Powell's "Kraken" Georgia complaint. First, like everyone else, I'm going to laugh at how the title, on the first page, misspells "District" in two different ways.

Next up: PDF metadata. The author of the PDF isn't Sidney Powell, it's Juli Haller. Who is Juli Haller?
Image

Juli Haller, who wrote the Powell Georgia claim, is a *current* US Government employee, working for HUD in the Trump Administration.

Haller was implicated in discrimination against an Iranian-American employee when she worked at the White House in 2017. politico.com/news/2019/11/1…

She's also a fan of Nigel Farage.

Sidney Powell also made an election claim in Michigan today. Sure enough, Juli Haller is ALSO the author of that complaint.
Image
Image

The Michigan complaint was also made on "Berts-pc". No idea who Bert is, though.
Image

Both complaints are basically a re-tread of the Dominion conspiracy, various counting conspiracies and the absentee ballot conspiracy. The content should be familiar by now.

The remedies Powell is seeking are confusing. They seek to enjoin the Governors of GA and MI from "transmitting the currently certified election results to the Electoral College". But... this isn't a thing. Results are never transmitted TO the Electoral College
Image
Image

The certified election results are sent to the Archivist of the United States, and both Kemp and Whitmer have already done that. The Electoral College doesn't *receive* results because it doesn't exist except for on 14 December when its members vote.

In both suits, Powell (and Juli Haller) ask the courts to just declare Trump the winner in Georgia and Michigan. This is not a thing that is going to happen, and even asking for it makes them look terrible.

BONUS

In the Georgia filing there's an affidavit with the affiant's identity redacted and a request to only name said affiant in camera. But....oops....they didn't clear the name from the metadata.....guy's name is Josh Merritt

1. Isn't this just harasment of the judicial sytem at this point? The next flappy suit should see a

nuisance charge. IMO.

8. All the metadata proves is whose computer the complaint was drafted on.

In the office I worked in, had I been sloppy enough to forget to delete it, my metadata would have identified it as typed on my computer. The two most senior counsels' work, however, would have identified it as authored by one of the administrative assistants or paralegals.

2. Juli Haller

[karynnj]

4. As she works for the government, she should not be working for the campaign

The Hatch Act precludes even minor things like speaking at a campaign event. I wonder if this "brilliant" work was done on government time. Not to mention, it seems she is not close to the level of person who should be hired!

9. That would seem to be a big problem. N/t

I don't think anyone who likes what they are doing cares whether it looks like a bunch of amateurs are doing this.

10. Juli Haller on Twitter

She's not active, but I think her Twitter handle is @julihallersimonyi ... google searches tend to confirm Juli Z. Haller and Juli Haller Simonyi are one and the same. .. Maybe it's time to give her some tweet love.

11. Looks like she was part of the 2008 defense of Judicial Watch against its founder Larry Klayman

https://casetext.com/case/paul-v-judicial-watch

"Larry Klayman, Miami, FL, for Plaintiff.

Richard Wayne Driscoll, Juli Z. Haller Simonyi, Driscoll Seltzer, PLLC, Alexandria, VA, for Defendants."

In 2003, Judicial Watch founder Larry Klayman left the organization to run for the United States Senate from Florida.[67] In 2006, Klayman sued Judicial Watch and its president, Tom Fitton. Judicial Watch asserted several claims against Klayman as well.[citation needed] In 2019, Judicial Watch obtained a $2.8 million verdict against Klayman on its claims of breaches of the severance agreement and trademark infringement.[68]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_Watch

Normally, anyone defending against Klayman would be a Good Guy, but when it's Judicial Watch itself, who knows?

It's possible she's the "author" of the things in the OP because she produced a basic document in her Judicial Watch years. I'm sure they would have started many BS suits in their time.

Is Julia Haller related to Peter Haller, the lawyer featured in the OAN video Trump retweeted last night? Just curious

Well, Juli Haller, aka Juli Haller Simonyi (see reply #10), probably is related to Peter Haller, aka Peter Simonyi - from 2011:

By Any Other Name, Goldman's Spin of the Revolving Door Would Still Stink

Peter Haller used to be a vice president at Goldman Sachs (GS). Before that, he worked for the SEC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. He left Goldman, where his duties apparently included working his old contacts at the securities agency on matters of interest to the bank, in 2006 to join a Washington lobbying firm. This year, he got a new job working for Rep. Darrell Issa. As a mid-level aide to the California Republican, Haller worked to pressure financial regulators to dilute proposed rules governing the use of derivatives -- rules that were of considerable interest to big securities firms like Goldman.

With me so far? Haller's career arc: government regulator --> banker --> lobbyist --> congressional staffer. Now for the twist. After leaving Goldman, the former financial exec also changed his surname, which previously had been "Simonyi," to "Haller," his mother's maiden name. ThinkProgress, a liberal blog, this week suggested the name change had made it easier for Haller to skirt ethics concerns and glide from Wall Street to a gig on Capitol Hill trying to punch holes in government regulations.

Haller says he never hid the the name change, which was fully disclosed on his previous employer's Web site. He says he changed his name to honor his mother's wishes, whose father was killed by Nazis in Hungary during World War II and who wanted to carry on the family name (Haller's sister also changed her name).

ThinkProgress doesn't dispute that explanation. Rather, it objects to the conflict of interest involved in Haller's moving from Goldman to a job with a lawmaker, who as head of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee has devoted himself to blunting financial regulation. ThinkProgress says:

So while [Haller] worked for Chairman Issa on issues directly assisting a top Goldman Sachs lobbying goal -- namely, to weaken new Dodd-Frank regulations -- the public was unaware that he previously worked in the compliance division of Goldman.

And Peter Haller is involved in Trump lawsuits:

Professor Steven Miller issues legal statement suggesting PA ballot irregularities; conclusions repudiated by statisticians, political scientists

...
Miller first wrote the statement after being approached by a volunteer attorney to the Trump campaign litigation effort, Peter Haller of Hill Strategy LLC. Miller said Haller contacted him after Miller had previously conducted a variety of independent and non-public analyses on potential voter fraud in the weeks after the 2020 election.

I would look at Peter Haller's tweets, but his account was deleted in the past week: https://twitter.com/peterghaller?lang=en

Google's cache shows a lot of retweets of the usual suspects
