This is the same person who “conned” the Department of Justice’s battery of lawyers who were trying so hard to destroy General Flynn to the point where their case was in shreds and collapsed. Sidney Powell is the real deal. If she used hyperbole in the public relations effort to keep President Trump’s effort to expose the fraud in the election, I have no problem with it.
The folks on this thread who actually understand defamation law correctly observe that the styling of a defense argument involves terms of art to explain that the statements do not meet the strict requirement that the are absolute statements of fact unequivocally intended to be accepted as such by an audience.
Time will tell as Ms. Powell has the opportunity to bring proofs to alternatively show the absolute defense of truth.
Or, she is the person who, once Barr had intervened and stopped the stupid prosecution, and tried to shut it down, filed an appeal of a ruling that forced the shutdown of her trial while the appeals court dealt with her appeal, pushing the trial so far out that it ran into post-election. She never actually WON that case, Trump had to pardon Flynn.
If she had not done the appeal, the trial judge would have finished his “review”, and if he got it wrong, the appeals court then could have reversed him. But by taking it to appeal before the trial court finished, she allowed him to run out the clock.
Brilliant is not exactly the word for her.
