I'm glad to see this. All the analysis I had seen originally said even with it being as blatantly false as it was, without direct evidence that Powell knew she was lying it would be a tough sell to the courts.
I just skimmed the complaint and there's nothing alleged about a loss of current or future business. It's mostly about how their employees (and company in general) were targeted because of the false statements and seeking to clear their name.
Yeah this isn't the usual token lawsuit. They want salted earth.
The only bad news is that they aren't going after anyone above her like Trump because they are saying she was intentionally feeding them bad information.
They told him to get ready cause they were coming for him too.
They could end up suing him for even more money.
Nothing to do with this case in particular, but how protected are lawyers when they're saying things on behalf of a client?
Like if we take this matter, she could say this was information given to her by her client and thus she just repeated her client's "proof".
Dominion are suing her because she said crazy shit but was that crazy shit just repeating her client's words? And if so, isn't there a legal protection for the lawyer?
Or is it because she's saying things to the press and not in a courtroom and thus she's personally liable for what she utters?

So painfully transparent. There is a Voting Systems Company with tough questions to answer but it isn't Dominion

They're gonna go after Rudy for even more money I bet.
No settlements, take it to court and completely nuke these peoples careers from orbit.

They did everything they could to stack up the evidence in this case.
Put her on notice that her actions were damaging to undercut the defense that she didn't have knowledge and then gave her the remedies to correct it, which she didn't do, to drive it into the ground.
Now it's just a matter of receipts for both the financial effect and the death threat issue.

Yeah, if your business is voting machines, your core value is how secure they are, so no shit you're going to burn to the ground baseless claims when they're an existential threat to your company. So yeah, they're going to skull fuck every right wing moron who's made these claims to defend their future prospects. Not doing it would be an admission that there's merit to the claims.
Everyone should read these two tweets before the schadenfreude euphoria goes to your head. I've been saying it in the other Dominion threads but it bears repeating: Suits involving defamation against a public figure are very very very hard to prove in the United States. Ken says it right out there, you have to prove in court that Powell either knowingly lied or knowingly disregarded the truth (with receipts to back you up) so that the defamation rises to the legal standard of "actual malice".
Dominion certainly has a chance here, moreso than a lot of other defamation cases (cough cough Vic Mignogna cough cough), but it is still a very tough road to walk.
If I was going to represent her I would want the cash on the barrelhead upfront. She should hire Lin Wood.
Haha that's awesome.
I hope every lawyer who participated in these fraudulent suits gets disbarred, including Gouliani.

White privilege just like the mob that attacked the capital building and went home like nothing happened.
It's not funny because now almost half the country don't trust the election system anymore. Trump and his goonies did irreparable damage the democratic process.
Yeah I shouldn't have said that. It's just that like... she's so out there. Is our country really this dumb? Has it really come to this?
Yet another fool who carried this guys water who is deservedly having their life ruined. Trump won't waste one fleeting thought on this woman from this day forward, but she'll think about him all day every day.
Did she really think she'd get away with bullshit like that? Who did she think she was? Amber Heard???

Legal Experts Say Dominion's Defamation Lawsuit Against Sidney Powell Appears to Be 'Extremely Strong': 'It Will Be a Hell of a Ride'
Legal experts say the defamation case has merit, that Powell's continued embrace of her claims has weakened her potential defense, and that the overall legal battle should prove to be an interesting test of the intersection between constitutionally protected political rhetoric and the...

I hope they take her, and everybody else involved with spreading their clear lies to the cleaners.
