The State Bar of Texas got three complaints against Sidney Powell yesterday, all stating: "Anything short of disbarment would be an injustice."

They were filed by Michigan's top three officials, who are all lawyers: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, AG Dana Nessel, and SoS Jocelyn Benson.

Here's a link to the trio of formal complaints seeking to disbar Sidney Powell -- i.e., revoke her law license.

The complaints stated: "She did not just tiptoe near a precarious ethical line—she outright crossed it."

These idiots need to be disbarred




Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) called for the disbarment of Michigan's Greg Rohl, Scott Hagerstrom and Stefanie Junttila, as well as Texas-based Sidney Powell, a pro-Trump lawyer who promoted unproven election fraud claims.

The state officials accused the attorneys of contributing to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot through their involvement in litigation that would overturn President Biden's victory in the state, according to The Detroit News.

The four "used their law license in an attempt to disenfranchise Michigan voters and undermine the faith of the public in the legitimacy of the recent presidential election, and lent credence to untruths that led to violence and unrest," the officials wrote.

The lawsuit, King v. Whitmer, which was based on a number of unproven claims and conspiracy theories, asked for the state's electors to be disqualified in favor of declaring then-President Trump the winner. A U.S. district judge tossed the lawsuit Dec. 7 and said it was intended to "ignore the will of millions of voters."
