Dominion Voting Systems has filed a defamation lawsuit against attorney Sidney Powell, seeking more than $1.3 billion in damages for what it is calling the "wild" and "demonstrably false" allegations Powell has spread.
In the wake of the November presidential election, Powell has alleged that the Dominion machines played a significant part in allowing the election to be stolen from President Trump.
Powell, a former federal prosecutor, has argued the machines allowed vote manipulation to occur in significant figures. She also spoke, on several occasions, about the company's alleged ties to communist money coming from Venezuela. In December, Dominion sent
Yeah, good luck Domorons! It opens you up to discovery and to cross. Then it all has to come out, right?

Guess Dominion released their version of the kraken. Can see this getting in front of a lefty judge somewhere, and Powell is persecuted to the fullest extent of the 'law'. The left will want to make an example out of her. The 'law' isn't there to protect everyone anymore. The 'law' exists to protect a privileged few.

So is this the only way the truth is going to come out? When the attorneys for Trump have to defend themselves against this frivolous lawsuit?
They are going to use the courts to dig their lies in further. As it stands, Powell, Guliani and Ellis will lose because the courts are full of judges sympathetic to Biden.

I'll be praying for her because we've already seen how other judges have treated her, REGARDLESS of the facts of a case.

Well, I simply expect any judge to throw out the suit bc the plaintiffs have no standing. There's no such thing as standing anymore.
Far as I can tell.

Do you seriously think she can get a fair and honest trial? (Do you think that's air you're breathing?)

Scare tactics. Probably just until the faux inauguration takes place. Anyway, we don't have courts any more. Nobody has any standing or evidence; every man is a law unto himself.

Where did they file it? I have no doubt that they were very thorough when forum shopping to make sure that they picked a judge and jury pool that are all fervent Biden supporters.

This is all geared to force Powell into settling by signing a non-disclosure agreement about Dominion's fraud and chicanery she discovered in the last few months. Dominion's attorneys saw dollar signs over costly litigation, perhaps to be funded in part by foreign governments and Facebook. They didn't warn Dominion sufficiently about discovery and truth as a defense. This case would be about defamation and interference with contractual relations between Dominion and the [crooked] governments who purchase their machines and services, after greasing the palms of some officials, like Georgia's governor and secretary of state.

The truth is always a winning defense in a libel case. Sidney Powell gathered evidence from public sources and actual people who worked for SmartMatic and Dominion. It will be interesting to see what else Sidney comes up with once she is given discovery of Dominion's records.

The President, Rudy and Powell entered into a snake pit of vipers. I'm mystified as to why they thought there was any other choice than going on the offensive in a do or die battle. Trusting the courts was more than a little naive considering the obamacare example. They really need to release it all and do so in a way that gets covered. I am afraid they won't. This is not just a political game, this is their personal survival, as well as ours in the very short term.

The NPR website has the story as well as the multi-paged document at the address below. I hope I am not violating any Lucianne.com rules.

I guess they are trying to scare off further criticism, so they can expand their market further. But we can criticize Dominion anyway, by quoting their user manual, and saying we just don't like it. We can run on getting them out of elections, based on their own description of their operations. Since everybody already knows what is wrong with them, I think that would be enough. And ya can't sue us for quoting the user manual.

yeah to be clear I don't think they intend this ever to get to a courtroom with discovery. I think they intend to hound Sidney Powell till her life is a burden, and make an example of her to all who would criticize. That's the way Weissmann's group operates. It is not about the outcome of the court proceeding. It is about the proceeding as its own punishment. Weissman et al. have fashioned their own system of punishments as a parasite on the real one ordained by laws we all participated in.

Dominion has had time to destroy all of the evidence.
Put the case in front of a DC (96% Dem) jury and Sidney won't stand a chance.

Truth is a complete defense to a defamation action. I'm sure that she and Lin Woods is salivating over starting the discovery process.

Sidney, I'd hire Lin Wood as your attorney on this one. You'll own Dominion at the end.

Maybe the mob should pay a visit to dominion's offices and the homes of its board of directors and executives.

Oh, I bet Sydney's shaking in her heels. Discovery won't take much time for her, she already has all the evidence. Dominion will fold like a house of Soros playing cards that it is.

they think they're pretty smart but experience will demonstrate that you don't pull the tiger's tail to get it's attention. Sidney Powell is cunning and extremely intelligent so, Dominion had better think very seriously about continuing this litigation against her.

I thought there wasn't anyone available you claimed that they 'owned' Dominion. One person always pointed to another. Well, we will see how that will come out, when experts materialize who will explain even to the dumbest in the US how one changes votes!

Can voters start a class action against Dominion ? Send the money you were sending to the GOP to Sidney.
