Pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell says ‘no reasonable person’ believes election claims were ‘statements of fact’

[InMAGAWeTrust]

Another  “L” for the trumplican CULT.. imagine being stupid enough to believe this BS in the first place. 🤣🤣
 

 

In the court filing made public Monday night, Powell’s lawyers argued that Dominion’s defamation suit should be dropped because her claims were merely constitutionally protected expressions of political opinion, rather than declarations of fact.

“Determining whether a statement is protected involves a two-step inquiry,” Powell’s lawyers wrote in the filing in Washington federal court. “Is the statement one which can be proved true or false? And would reasonable people conclude that the statement is one of fact, in light of its phrasing, context and the circumstances surrounding its publication.”

“Analyzed under these factors ... no reasonable person would conclude that the statements were truly statements of fact,” the lawyers argued.

The #FakeNews is lying to everyone about our filings in the Dominion case. My position has not changed. We will be taking them to the mat.        ~  Sidney Powell
 

 

RESPONSE TO THE FAKE NEWS ATTACKS ON SIDNEY POWELL

 

 

FREE SPEECH

 

-  This defamation lawsuit is yet another attempt to silence critics and citizens who want to investigate voter fraud. The statements Dominion claims are defamatory are actually protected speech under the First Amendment because they deal with matters of public concern, i.e., election integrity. The Fake News media and their allies are spinning meritless claims because their arguments have neither the facts nor the law needed to hold up in a courtroom.

 

-  The statements complained of are also protected because Dominion is a public figure and must prove that Ms. Powell acted with malice.  This is impossible, as Ms. Powell’s lawyer has explained, because Ms. Powell’s statements were based on sworn affidavits, declarations, expert reports and documentary evidence.  She presented this evidence for all to see in four court filings and on her website.

 

FAKE NEWS

 

-  Contrary to what the Fake News is pushing, Sidney did NOT claim in court that ‘no reasonable person would believe her claims’. The press is using twisted legalese and manipulating the legal standard to confuse the issue, as they have done before in other high-profile cases. Ms. Powell’s statements were legal opinions that she stands behind, as they were based on sworn affidavits, declarations, expert reports and documentary evidence.

 

-  Dominion claims that the evidence Ms. Powell relied upon to assert her claims concerning the lack of election integrity is incredible and not believable.  Ms. Powell responded by pointing out that her assertions were her legal opinions based on the evidence she presented to four different courts.  Accordingly, her statements are not subject to challenge under defamation law.

From Patrick Colbeck

Looks like Sidney Powell may have defamation lawsuit of her own developing.  How many have you heard reports akin to the following statement?

 

"Powell argues in her motion that "no reasonable person" would conclude that her accusations of Dominion's election-rigging scheme "were truly statements of fact."

 

FACT:

The actual statement made by the Powell defense team was merely a citation from Keohane v. Stewart, 882 P.2d 1293, 1299 (Colo. 1994) decision.

The full citation reads...

“[A] statement of opinion relating to matters of public concern which does not contain a provably false factual connotation, or which cannot reasonably [be] interpreted as stating actual facts about an individual, continues to receive full constitutional protection.”

 

In motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Dominion, Powell team quoted FULL citation which includes the criterion that her statements cannot be proven to be false, yet #fakemedia only quotes the second criterion.  It is a deliberate attempt by Sidney's detractors to paint her as a charlatan.

 

The truth is that she and others such as myself who assert election fraud cannot be proven false...because we are telling the truth.   Looking forward to opportunity to prove our case for election fraud in court.  Defamation suits like Dominion's are simply attempts to distract from the core issue...the theft of the 2020 election.

Imagine the nonstop questioning Trump would get if Don Jr.'s gun was found in a dumpster. But it's Hunter, so the press is "respecting the family's privacy.”
