First of all, I am not an attorney. However, after 20 years as an Army intelligence officer specializing in counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations, I went to work for the FBI, DOJ and the White House in a similar capacity and had the opportunity to assist US Attorneys and AUSAs in understanding complex evidence and preparing major cases for trial. There are a lot of misperceptions and misunderstanding about how the progression of cases from state to federal courts really works.
While time is short, there is plenty of time for Team Trump’s attorneys to pursue their efforts under Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2, which relegates responsibility for election law to state legislatures - there is no constitutional role for state executives or state judiciaries, and the 14th Amendment (equal protection). Sydney Powell’s pursuits clearly focus on felonious behavior, which will clearly take a great deal more time and involve multiple state and federal jurisdictions.
With respect to what she has stated, Sydney Powell, one of the most respected attorneys in the country, would not have said what she has without very solid evidence. Her comments and more have been echoed by Atlanta attorney Lin Wood, who is probably the most highly-regarded libel attorney in the country. Lin has stated openly that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger are corrupt and he can prove it. Strong statements for a highly-experienced libel attorney.
I have no idea to what extent Powell and Wood are working together, but it’s abundantly clear that they communicate. I fully expect that their efforts, Powell’s being nationwide and Wood’s focusing on Georgia, involve a broad range of felonies, from official corruption and kickbacks to outright manipulation of election results and related fraud of various types.
While I’m not normally a prognosticator of events without a complete understanding of relevant evidence, I strongly suspect that the Supreme Court will ultimately toss this election to the House of Representatives.
Well said; and thank you.

And the results will most likely be the same as the
House is controlled by Democrats.
JMO...... which may not be worth a spit.
I would add that, if Team Trump’s efforts are successful, i.e., down-ballot races that were decided by ballots allowed to be counted as a result of very recent unconstitutional changes to election law, it will have a significant impact on down-ballot races as well, particularly for people like John James, Sean Parnell and many others, who were well ahead before the midnight/early morning shenanigans. It appears that Team Trump’s focus on unconstitutional changes to election law is a strategic move intended to not only affect the presidential race, but congressional and state-level races as well.
That is not to denigrate the efforts of Sydney Powell, Lin Wood and many other attorneys across the nation; their efforts will lead to criminal prosecution of people like Brian Kemp, Brad Raffensperger and other state and local officials who “mysteriously” rushed to purchase Dominion voting systems.
