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.
Image
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
