U.S. Supreme Court won't rule on Sidney Powell's Michigan lawsuit
Beth LeBlanc Craig Mauger The Detroit News

The U.S. Supreme Court will not weigh in on a case brought by a group of Michigan Republicans seeking to overturn President Joe Biden's win in the state. The nine justices on Monday denied the plaintiffs a writ of certiorari, meaning the case filed by Sidney Powell and other attorneys will not proceed. The King v. Whitmer lawsuit was filed in federal court in late November on behalf of three Republican Electoral College electors and three local GOP officials who cited conspiracy theories, unproven claims of fraudulent election software and analyses to call into question Biden's 154,000-vote win in Michigan.

The Supreme Court's action Monday "once and for all ends these frivolous election cases," said David Fink, lead counsel for the City of Detroit, which had intervened in the litigation. "Every claim of election fraud in Michigan has been rejected," Fink said. "It’s time for the attorneys who filed these baseless lawsuits to be held accountable for their actions."

The Republicans who filed the suit included Timothy King, Marian Sheridan and John Haggard, who would have been presidential electors had former President Donald Trump won the election. Sheridan was elected earlier this month to serve as grassroots chair for the Michigan Republican Party. Other GOP plaintiffs included district and county chairmen James Ritchard, James David Hooper and Daren Rubingh. The suit, filed after all of Michigan's results had been certified at county and state levels, sought an order requiring Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to transmit results showing Trump was the winner, and the impounding of all "voting machines and software in Michigan for expert inspection."

The suit focused in part on a clerk's error in Republican-leaning Antrim County that led to results being posted that that initially showed Biden ahead of Trump. Once it became aware of the error the morning after the election, the county pulled the results from its website and later reposted the corrected results showing Trump's victory in Antrim County. Federal District Judge Linda Parker rejected emergency relief sought in the suit in December, saying the effort sought to "ignore the will of millions of voters." The plaintiffs filed in the U.S. Supreme Court shortly after Parker's decision.

Dominion Voting Systems, cited heavily in the King v. Whitmer suit, filed a $1.3 billion defamation suit against Powell in January.

Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson filed complaints earlier this month with the Attorney Grievance Commission in Michigan and the State Bar of Texas against four attorneys involved in the King v. Whitmer lawsuit. The attorneys include Texas-based Powell and Michigan attorneys Greg Rohl, Stefanie Juntilla and Scott Hagerstrom.

On Saturday Attorney Sidney Powell and Retired General Michael Flynn joined Erskine for his weekly podcast. Lieutenant General Michael Flynn is a retired United States Army Lieutenant General who was the 25th United States National Security Advisor for President Trump. Flynn’s military career included a key role in shaping U.S. counterterrorism strategy and disarming insurgent networks in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and was given numerous combat arms, conventional, and special operations senior intelligence assignments. His book, The Field of Fight, is brilliant. www.defendingtherepublic.org

Sidney Powell served in the Department of Justice for 10 years and for the last 20 years has devoted her private practice to federal appeals. She was the youngest Assistant U.S Attorney and later became Chief of the Appellate Section for the Western and Northern Districts of Texas. Sidney Powell is recognized by her peers as a “Super Lawyer” and named as one of the “Best Lawyers in America”. Her Amazon best-selling book Licensed To Lie reads like a legal thriller. Her latest book is CONVICTION MACHINE: Standing Up to Prosecutorial Abuse. Learn the TRUTH about the 2020 election and what it means to America

Sidney Powell had this to say to open the conversation. “Well, Erskine from my perspective it looks like the complete breakdown of every institution of law enforcement and the rule of law that we have trusted in this country since its inception to protect the law and the citizens from abuses by the government. As far as the last election Sidney Powell had this to say, “There’s all kind of precedent for fixing what happened in this election from Bush vs. Gore to other cases as well… Fractionalized votes. That’s exactly what we have here from a computer algorithm that we can prove in multiple counties and it could prove across the country if anybody would issue an order allowing inspection of the machines. The very fact that Dominion and other companies are not allowing inspection of the voting machines ought to tell everybody all they need to know. Federal law calls for election records to be kept for 22 months… In this case it requires forensic evaluations of the machines and looking at all of the paper ballots. We already know that’s not going to match up. There were counterfeit ballots. People were saying, “Oh, well they did a full audit in Georgia.” Well, if you just keep running the same counterfeit bill through the same counting machine you’re going to get the same result.

Sidney then dropped this bomb, “There is enough evidence in the cases before them or enough evidence in the public now to more than reverse the election in at least five states.”

That was just the first 7 minutes of the interview!

There is an interesting pickle.

So are these the same statements she (and others) submitted to various courts?

So she's going with the Fox News/Tucker Carlson defense?
