The rumor is that Alito and Thomas voted first, and then there was a dump of 7 votes. Texas expert says there’s only a 0.0039% chance of this happening.

40 plus indictments, guilty pleas, convictions, prison sentences, and roughly a dozen fed cases borne of said investigation is slightly more than jack shit.

What in the hell is she thinking doing interviews with these lawsuits hanging over her head in the first place?

"I can't continue the grift without more content!"

Something along those lines.  

Also, "When will this lady leave so I can get me into me again?"

That poor dog has seen things.

Dear Beau Vine,

Did you see that smear piece by the Australian Broadcasting Corp?  Noted liberal Hillary lover Sarah Ferguson totally set me up, in conjunction with the Deep State Merrick Garland AG's Office, to discredit and derail our work to reinstate our one true President, Donald J. Trump, sometime in the next 10 years!  Please chip in $50 RIGHT NOW to help us fight back*!  President Trump has personally assured me that he will 400x match any donation you make!" 

All the best,

Sidney Powell and Donald Trump

A grizzly bear has her. She hit with a stick. She played dead. She sprayed with what she thought was mace but was actually deodorant. Nothing worked. Hell, may as well try singing a song or making faces; what have you got to lose?

clinton murder machine strikes again!

I got stuck tonight waiting on a kid, and turned on the Dan Band Von Gina show on KLBJ.  He's losing his mind over some new legal angle that clearly proves Hillary was the real criminal mastermind in the 2016 campaign.  It's stunning in real time.

Former president Donald Trump has sued his niece, Mary L. Trump, and the New York Times over the publication of a 2018 article detailing allegations that he “participated in dubious tax schemes … including instances of outright fraud” that allowed him to receive over $413 million from his father, Fred Trump Sr., while significantly reducing taxes.

The suit, filed in a Dutchess County, N.Y., court on Tuesday, alleges that Mary Trump, the New York Times and at least three of its reporters “engaged in an insidious plot to obtain confidential and highly-sensitive records” about the former president’s finances. According to the lawsuit, Donald Trump suffered at least $100 million in damages as a result of the alleged actions.

Trump, unlike every other major-party presidential nominee in recent history, has declined to make his tax records public.


The New York Times and the three reporters named in the suit — David Barstow, Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner — won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Reporting for their 18-month investigation that culminated in the article. Their work “debunked [Trump’s] claims of self-made wealth and revealed a business empire riddled with tax dodges,” according to the Pulitzer Prize board.

After the article’s publication, Trump dismissed the story as a “hit piece” that was “boring.”

Trump asks judge to block release of tax returns, blasts Biden Justice Dept. for authorizing release

Donald Trump’s suit alleges that the New York Times influenced Mary Trump to help them acquire confidential documents despite a settlement agreement that she had signed after a legal challenge to Fred Trump Sr.’s will. In her 2020 book “Too Much and Never Enough,” Mary Trump detailed how she helped the reporters obtain Donald Trump’s financial records.


At 3 a.m., she took 19 boxes of documents from Farrell Fritz, the law firm that helped her challenge the estate of Fred Trump Sr., and handed them over to the journalists. A lawyer at the firm had told her she was entitled to take the documents, as long as at least one copy was left behind, Mary Trump said.

“It wasn’t enough for me to volunteer at an organization helping Syrian refugees,” she wrote. “I had to take Donald down.”

News of the lawsuit was first reported by the Daily Beast. Mary Trump told the news website that the legal action was motivated by “desperation. … The walls are closing in and he is throwing anything against the wall that will stick. As is always the case with Donald, he’ll try and change the subject.”

A spokeswoman for the Times said that the paper’s coverage of Donald Trump’s taxes “helped inform citizens through meticulous reporting on a subject of overriding public interest. This lawsuit is an attempt to silence independent news organizations, and we plan to vigorously defend against it.”

Donald Trump and Mary Trump didn’t immediately return requests for comment.

They knew days after?  Everyone with a functioning brain knew seconds after.

I mean it’s not ALL an act. Rudy Giuliani is a stupid guy, but he’s not THAT stupid. Sidney Powell is a crazy cat lady, but she’s not THAT crazy and doesn’t have as many cats as we’re led to believe. Jenna Ellis has loose screws, just not as many as you think. Lin Wood…ok, I’ll give you that one.

So explain this to me like I'm a five-year-old non-lawyer.  I think that defamation cases are hard to prove because you have to prove that the defendants knowingly spread lies i.e. they KNEW what they were saying was false.  Doesn't this memo prove that Sidney Powell, Giuliani, Lin Wood, Jenna Ellis etc... KNEW that Dominion did nothing wrong and spread lies about Dominion anyway?  And, if so, aren't they screwed in Dominion's defamation lawsuit?

As a lawyer, I think I can break this down pretty easily for you. Here is your answer.

"Yes."

They don't have to "KNOW" that it's untrue, but acting with reckless disregard for the truth is sufficient if the plaintiff is a "public figure," which Dominion probably is.

I think there's a ton of evidence of reckless disregard, of which this is but a piece.  The "problem" with this evidence is that it isn't really conclusive or truth or falsity (it's just another "asshole in a lab" to borrow a phrase) and it's not necessarily known to/by the defamation defendants.

This is fascinating apart from the Trump angle.  Confidential settlements are routine, but you hardly ever hear of someone breaching that confidentiality, much less getting sued for it.

I have tons of knowledge concerning NDAs and confidentiality agreements in the context of trade secrets, but almost none outside that context.  There seems to be a sort of "crime/fraud" public policy exception that makes breach of such agreements essentially lawful, when the purpose is to expose wrongdoing, but I'm not sure how strong that is.

And, it seems ironic that the damages are probably based on the notion that her breach "exposed me as a criminal and a cheat," which is certainly unpleasant, but if it's true, where are the damages?

There are none. There never are.

The purpose of confidentiality agreements is to give the one who wants it a contractual basis to file suit to enforce it. It’s the threat of being sued that keeps people to that agreement. 
 

But once the lawsuit is filed for breach of confidentiality, 99.9 percent of the time they cannot prove damages. 
 

It’s just an intimidation tactic.

Ol' gal Sid counterclaims against Dominion for "abuse of process." https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/in-counterclaim-kraken-attorney-sidney-powell-sues-dominion-voting-systems-for-alleged-abuse-of-process-for-suing-her-first/

That is patently frivolous and should be dismissed forthwith, hopefully with sanctions.

As if we didn't know already, she's fucking insane.

Also, apparently, her grievance from Michigan and others is proceeding and will have a hearing November 4.  Not clear to me which hearing this may be.

I really would like to know how in the hell trump can keep claiming the election was fixed when every indication says it was not, and the fkn press keeps airing his bullshit.  Is there some point at which these media clowns become liable to prosecution for spreading a blatant lie on the national networks?

Counterpoint: how will we get ratings if we stop talking about Trump?

I didn't clarify upthread, but Powell's Texas bar grievance hearing is November 4.  I believe that means that it has advanced beyond preliminary stages into the substance of it.

Also, there's this. https://www.newsweek.com/sidney-powell-drags-justice-samuel-alito-supreme-court-january-6-mess-1632896

I won't comment additionally, but there is apparently no record of this lawsuit.  She is certifiable.
