Dominion Voting Sues Former Trump Lawyer, Seeking $1.3 Billion+ In Damages

By artappraiser on Fri, 01/08/2021 - 4:03pm |

Elections company Dominion Voting Systems is suing former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, who has spent much of the past two months claiming Dominion rigged the 2020 election and was somehow tied to Hugo Chavez, none of which is true. https://t.co/4BNjnxtGlN

Makes total sense to me as she has totally damaged their brand, is basically useless for them to even try to sell to anyone.

When will ES&S raise its head?

Hate to see Dominion get all the press.

I've been working with DCReport, looking at the election results of #MoscowMitch and the vendors responsible for counting the votes for McConnell & some of his buddies who also had surprising win.

There's more coming that I'll pin here...so stay tunedhttps://t.co/2AqmOiq3rI

The timing of the announcement is interesting. It is sort of like some duels using powder and ball: You gave it your best shot; The pistol is in my hand now.

WaPo reports:

The lawsuit against Powell also mentions Trump's role in amplifying her claims. Both Clare and Dominion CEO John Poulos have said the company isn't ruling out a suit against Trump

“The Powell suit is a trial run,” Paul Rosenzweig, resident senior fellow, cybersecurity and emerging threats at the R Street Foundation and a former homeland security official, told me. “She obviously does not have $1.3 billion dollars. But there are other people, like for example the Trump campaign, who have a lot more money.”

They better hope he has insurance, cuz i imagine even liquidating it'll be hard to find $200m, even if they pool all the Delaware LLCs. Awash in red ink + fly-by-night is not a good combo.

In addition, there are all those other folks waiting for the guy to leave the building.

the irony here is so rich for all those involved who like the concept of survival of the fittest capitalism, they dump that fast and switch the whole shebang to the victimhood narrative when the other guy figures a better way to play the game:
