Ex-Trump Lawyer Sidney Powell Files Election Suits in 'DISTRCOICT' Court

Source: Bloomberg

A lawyer who was dropped from President Donald Trump’s legal team filed typo-strewn lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia alleging massive election fraud.

Sidney Powell, who has pushed some of the most extreme conspiracy theories around the election of Joe Biden, filed the lawsuits late Wednesday, according to a post on Twitter. The two cases have similar themes of problems linked to voting machines, mail-in ballots and deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.

Powell was kicked off Trump’s legal team this week after her claims about a vast Democratic conspiracy against the president. Days earlier she had appeared at a press conference alongside Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, where she alleged a plot to swing the election to Biden that involved voting-machine tampering and Venezuela.

The pre-Thanksgiving lawsuits, which target elected officials in both states, also include other claims about forged ballots and observers being unable to watch the vote count.

The Michigan lawsuit, which was on the court website, was frequently marred by formatting problems that removed the spacing between words. For example:

“TheTCFCenterwastheonlyfacilitywithinWayneCountyauthorizedtocountthe ballots.”

Please advise the attorney that while we did talk about a communist takeover of the entire country, a new world order, and one world government, we did NOT discuss voter fraud. That witness is lying.

But Powell missed it and didn’t correct.

As a former paralegal, I can commiserate.

Her attention was on what Chavez had to say, one letter at a time is time consuming.

I've searched by attorney: Sidney Powell and Powell, Sidney, and by what is supposedly her bar number.

I've searched by party: Trump, Donald and Trump Campaign

Must be doing something wrong. I can't find anything!

I've heard that they can depress IQ levels in the most robust personalities.

Or perhaps it is the stunning level of ineptitude one must stoop to in order to survive an audience with His Most Supreme and Exalted Majesty Deluxe?

Georgia Republican Official Named as Plaintiff by Sidney Powell Never Agreed to Take Part in Lawsuit

A GOP county chairman who is listed as a plaintiff on ex-Trump attorney Sidney Powell's typo-filled fraud lawsuit says he never agreed to take part in the legal action.

Georgia's Cobb County Republican chair, Jason Shepherd, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday morning he and his associates need "more information" before they can sign on to Powell's election fraud lawsuit. Powell has brought lawsuits in both Georgia and Michigan which allege widespread voter fraud issues such as forged ballots and observers being unable to watch vote tabulation. But in addition to the paperwork being riddled with formatting and typographical errors, one of the GOP plaintiffs never even agreed to be listed on the lawsuit.

Shepherd is one of seven plaintiffs on Powell's "massive election fraud" lawsuit which challenges the results showing Joe Biden soundly defeated Trump earlier this month. Speaking with the Journal-Constitution Thursday, Shepherd released a statement in which he says he "never agreed to be a part of her complaint.

Shepherd added, "Guess this is what happens when you wait until the last minute."
