Sidney Powell Fights Disbarment, Claims Conspiracy Theories Could 'Be True'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, facing a defamation lawsuit about false claims of voter fraud, asked a federal appeals court to reverse sanctions levied against her because conspiracy theories she shared could "be true."

A federal judge in Michigan referred Powell and eight of her fellow attorneys to face sanctions and possible disbarment over their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Powell alleged that widespread voter fraud ensured President Joe Biden's victory over former President Donald Trump in Michigan and other states.

Powell and her team claimed that election workers did not allow Republican poll observers in Detroit, and said election workers forged and altered ballots and counted defective ballots. To offset the alleged fraud, counsel asked the court to decertify Michigan's results or certify them for Trump.

U.S. District Judge Linda Parker called the initial fraud case "a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process" with the intention of "deceiving a federal court and the American people" with "unsupported factual assertions...conjecture and speculation."

1. And the world could be flat and Pittsburgh the moon made of green cheese too, Sidney.

But they just aren't.

Do you think she knows that?

[Skittles]

2. I honestly think she needs a mental health evalation

her behavior is over the top, even for a lawyer

7. Even for a lawyer?

Do you lump all the lawyers on DU into your assumption of over the top behavior?

9. chill

it was just a joke

11. Odd, it didn't come across as a joke.

It came across as yet another attack on lawyers. It's OK, telling a joke without facial expressions and other social cues is difficult.

12. LOL

DONE HERE

[liberal N proud]

3. Wouldn't that statement be evidence she should not practice law?

Because she is practicing deception

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Or, She's Fully Disconnected From Reality

Which seems a reason to remove her to the bar, too.
A lying crook or a lunatic. Neither seems appropriate for holding a law license.

4. For God's sake Sidney do something interesting.

If you like conspiracy theories so damn much, sue the government to see if aliens are real and who shot JFK.

6. "It could be true" sounds just like what my dog says when looking for a second smelly spot...

… to roll in. “It could happen! Right?”

8. Double down on a losing strategy. Chump tactics.

13. Legal aid jobs are everywhere. Sidney could assist "real lawyers" w/paperwork.

14. Let's play everybody's favorite new legal game: "It could be true!"

"Sidney Powell graduated from college and passed the bar, only because she threatened and murdered her professors! She then became rich by selling drugs and child pornography, while secretly becoming America's most prolific serial killer! No proof is needed because this could be true!"
