Sidney Powell's Loony Election Claims, Which Gave Birth to the Deadly Capitol Invasion, May Finally Cost Her Dominion Voting Systems, the focus of the former Trump campaign lawyer's conspiracy theory, is seeking $1.3 billion from her for defamation. By JACOB SULLUM During the January 2 telephone conversation in which President Donald Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" the votes necessary to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's victory in that state, Raffensperger tried to test the outer boundaries of Trump's election-fraud allegations. Raffensperger suggested that Trump's concerns focused on "the absentee ballot process," as opposed to the outlandish claim that Dominion Voting Systems had helped Democrats deliver a phony victory to Biden by supplying them with fraud-facilitating election software. But the president made it clear that he was not ready to give up that fantasy, which is the focus of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit that Dominion filed against former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell on Friday. "I don't believe that you're really questioning the Dominion machines," Raffensperger said. "Because we did a hand re-tally, a 100 percent re-tally of all the ballots, and compared them to what the machines said and came up with virtually the same result. Then we did the recount, and we got virtually the same result. So I guess we can probably take that off the table." Nope. "Well, Brad," Trump replied, "not that there's not an issue, because we have a big issue with Dominion in other states and perhaps in yours. But we haven't felt we needed to go there." In reality, both Trump and his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, have gone there over and over again, promoting Powell's preposterous conspiracy theory in tweets, speeches, TV appearances, and press conferences. Her claims about what she describes as "the biggest crime in American history" were never substantiated in litigation by Trump's lawyers or her own lawsuits. But amplified by credulous right-wing TV and radio hosts such as Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo, and Rush Limbaugh, Powell's wacky notions helped persuade a large majority of Trump supporters that the election was rigged to deny the president a second term. The results were apparent last Wednesday, when hundreds of enraged Trump followers, summoned to D.C. by the president and inflamed by a speech in which he warned that an "egregious assault on our democracy" was about to destroy the country, invaded the Capitol, where a joint session of Congress was convening to affirm Biden's election. Before that deadly attack, Trump told the thousands of fans who had gathered for the "Save America March" that they should be outraged by "the highly troubling matter of Dominion Voting Systems." He claimed that Dominion machines in Fulton County, Georgia, "had an astronomical and astounding 93.7 percent error rate." At the same rally, Giuliani said he had "conclusive proof" that in Georgia "the votes were deliberately changed by the same algorithm that was used in cheating President Trump and Vice President Pence." Giuliani promised that "over the next 10 days" the president's legal team would reveal "machines that are crooked." Instead, the president's lawyers dropped four lawsuits challenging Georgia's election results the very next day, avoiding a trial scheduled for Friday at which they would have had a chance to present their supposed evidence.

After passionately and persistently telling out her tall tale of a stolen election last year, Powell is now arguing that only a fool would have taken her at her word. I doubt that will endear her to diehard Trump fans, but I have been surprised before by their capacity to nod along with anything that seems to serve his cause.

Just look at how many people repeated that LIE even to the death.
Those voting machine systems have been rechecked for accuracy TWO TIMES, after the initial machine vote count by human hands and both of The Voting machine and the human hand count was the same.
So we can check that off as The Breaking Down of The BIG LIE.

• When Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked Powell for evidence to back up her claims of massive fraud involving Dominion machines, he reported, "she never sent…any evidence, despite a lot of requests…not a page." After Carlson's staff pressed her for evidence, "she got angry with us and told us to stop contacting her…so we checked with others around the Trump campaign, people in positions of authority; they told us Powell has never given them any evidence either." Carlson concluded that Powell "never demonstrated that a single actual vote moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another—not one."
This is more proof of THE BIG was just that.

States like Texas didn't trust Dominion and didn't use them. I don't trust them either and I don't need to believe every word Sidney Powel says. My concern is the machine I had to use that malfunctioned three times. The DS200. I don't mind leaving Dominion Systems to Powell.

The election was stolen. You can't change it now Ron, it's in the past. Take a deep breath and accept the fact that you've got Biden and we've got TRUMP. Kamala is emerging and TRUMP will too, in his own good time. We intend to take back what is ours and your harping about THE BIG LIE won't help you, not a bit!

YOUR WORDS: The election was stolen.
MY REPLY: PROVE IT?
Steve, Powell, who repeatedly pressed unfounded claims of voter fraud on the airwaves and in court, now says that "reasonable" people would not accept her statements as "fact" because the legal process hadn't yet played out. It was a stunning admission from a woman who served for a time as one of Trump's top legal lieutenants.
Steve, I bet you were thinking at the time, that you were "REASONABLE PEOPLE" in your belief that the ELECTION WAS STOLEN, now did you?
Well, NOT according to Trump's X lawyer Sidney Powell's Loony Election Claims, Which Gave Birth to the Deadly Capitol Invasion, May Finally Cost Her.
This is what happens to you for LYING. IN THIS CASE, a police officer lost his LIFE. Steve, did you know because of this LIE, some 140 Capitol Police were injured in the Capitol riot, 140 Capital Police.

The physical toll on officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack by a pro-Trump mob is becoming clearer, with reports by police officials and federal prosecutors indicating that about 140 officers were injured, the head of the Capitol Police officers’ union said.
All of this happens because people like her LIED to you and people like you to Storm the Capitol in a failed attempt to overthrow a duly conducted election and now that you know you have been LIED too, you still want to protect that LIE, WHY STEVE?

The January 6 Capitol riot is still being investigated Ron, but we know that out of many THOUSANDS of MAGA, only a very few have possoibly conspired, and if they did, it certainly wasn't to overthrow the government.

NO Steve, I am amazed at how you can turn your back to these recent discoveries, the Truth came to the surface by Trump's very on Lawyer that told you that she was LYING about a stolen election by voting machines turning over Trump votes, to give them to BIDEN.
Then the man that you hold heartily support turns right around and tell you that those voting machines has over a 90% inaccuracy rate.
All of which is comprise of "THE BIG LIE". I bet you thought you was a reasonable person, now did you? Not According to Trump's Lawyer.
YOUR WORDS: I DON'T "know that the presidential election was not stolen."
MY REPLY: Because Trump's Lawyer told you that she was LYING Steve, she was there and a EYEWITNESS, A PARTICIPATE in that lie and it seems that the truth have NOT sunk in yet! I find that AMAZING...

Even tho you, can't prove a thing you are saying or why you believe that the Presidential Election was stolen which is "THE BIG LIE" after Trump's very own Lawyer told you that she was LYING and you still want to believe that LIE, WHY STEVE?

Ron, knowing that the election was stolen doesn't do much for me. I'm looking at 4 years of Biden and possibly Harris and I KNOW America will be a wreck by the time we get to 2024. But now you have Boehner coming out with a new book and he blames Trump for 1/6 too! I'm sure Boehner will be the new love of your life.

Steve, YOUR WORDS: Ron, knowing that the election was stolen doesn't do much for me.
Steve, you don't know 💩 of a stolen President Election, that is why that LIE of a stolen doesn't do much for you because "IT NEVER HAPPENED," Steve. You can't show me anywhere on earth of any evidence that TRUMP came anywhere close to winning a second term.
YOUR WORDS: But now you have Boehner coming out with a new book and he blames Trump for 1/6 too! I'm sure Boehner will be the new love of your life.
MY REPLY: We can say by to that LYING Mitch and that is a good thing for the country.

Steve, you can stop that LIE right now, even you can't find any proof of a stolen 2020 Presidential election.
YOUR WORDS: I'm looking at 4 years of Biden and possibly Harris and I KNOW America will be a wreck by the time we get to 2024.
MY REPLY: Yes you are looking at a new President in town and his name is Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.

Just look how popular this team is Steve, TRUMP's approval rating was never that high, why! Because the people saw that man for was he was doing to the country, Steve. That is the reason why The American people told TRUMP that he was "FIRED as President of The United States of America and he LIED to you and people like you to try to overturn the elections, for the last time as president."
Hey Steve, did you remember what Trump's approval ratings were don't you?
I do, when Trump was FIRED as President of The United States of America, Trump's Favable Approval Rating was 38.6 and his Disapproval rating was at a whopping 57.9%.
Keep in mind to get that high, some republicans were disappointed in Trump's job performance as well.
TRUMP is GONE Steve, get over it.

The only approval rating for President Trump I care about is mine Ron. I give it (MY APPROVAL OF TRUMP) 100% but I know you will cry and want proof. Meantime Biden is going after "ghostguns", which are already illegal to sell. And of course he didn't tell you truth that their popularity is due only to certain states, like California, with laws so onerous that FOLKS who want to build an AR-15 can't find a licensed dealer that's willing to handle a transactioon involving just the receiver.

MY REPLY: Your one APPROVAL rating OF TRUMP's is NOT based on the Truth anyway and that is the reason why Trump is OUT of the power of The President of The United States of America and BIDEN is in POWER NOW.
He is doing what The people of The United States of America want to get DONE. How did you like your stimulus money, Steve?
Biden should go after "ghostguns" to keep them out of the hands sick and the mentally ill with a comprehensive background check, there is nothing wrong with that, is it?
Then once you answer that question, let's get back to the topic of this BLOG of
