Sidney Powell Whines That People Think She's A 'Dangerous Lunatic'

Sidney Powell is trying to get her punishment for filing frivolous lawsuits about the 2020 election overturned by arguing that the judge "unfairly" painted her and her eight co-counsels as "dangerous lunatics." If the shoe fits...But in all seriousness, Powell had no evidence to back up her claims, and still managed to clog up the court system with her work of pure fiction. Farron Cousins discusses this.

Sidney Powell is trying to fight back against a federal judge in the state of Michigan, who last year, last fall actually issued sanctions against Powell and eight of her co counsels for filing frivolous election challenge lawsuits. Now Powell could face dis because of the penalties that this judge has put on place. And Powell is now challenging that saying that this judge was out to get them by painting Powell and her eight couns, as, as Powell puts it overwrought dangerous lunatics. I mean, if the shoe fits right, I mean, isn't, isn't that kind of the situation we're dealing with here. Like they made me look like a crazy person. Okay, well, um, they, you, you look like a crazy person. Not saying you are, but I'm saying you look like an overwrought, dangerous lunatic. I think that is a pretty accurate descriptor of how your behavior has been for the last 15 months.

You're the one who said you were gonna release the cracking. And then of course, last week you admit, well, maybe the cracking doesn't exist, but you don't go out there and say, I'm gonna release the crack and, and then get to be sad when you think people think that you're a lunatic, okay. You know, you, you kind of reap what you sow there. And if all you project onto the public is this image of a person who's, you know, maybe, maybe a couple of screws have lose there. I don't know. But yeah, you don't get to be upset about that. You are the one who's put this image out there to the public. You are the one who got yourself sued for 1.3 billion by dominion voting systems. By pushing these conspiracy theories that everybody with a brain knows our false. Nobody made you do that.

You made that decision on your own, and now you gotta live with the consequences. I love the fact that the Republican party for years and years and years is telling us we're the party of personal responsibility. If you're poor it's cuz you made stupid decisions. You get to live with that. If you're in jail it's cuz you committed cry and you gotta live with that. You gotta own up to your mistakes. And yet every time they get caught doing something, they're like, oh this is so unfair. I'm being unfairly. Persecuted. Nothing is my fault. All the bad things happen to me. Everybody should pity me because I'm just a poor little victim here. You're not, you filed these lawsuits with no evidence whatsoever, which is why every single one of them was thrown out of court. And now you're facing the consequences of that. You don't get to file these knowingly false

Lawsuits with no information behind them. You know, as I actually talked about last week, her lawyers went and you know, made a filing saying that, Hey, you know, people do believe what she's saying and maybe it's true. We don't know. Therefore you can't punish her for it. So that in effect is admitting, Hey yeah, this is probably not true, but people believe it. So why not? Right. In many states in the United States, it is against the law to file a knowingly frivolous lawsuit. Basically you cannot make a claim in a lawsuit that you know is false. You know, I couldn't file a lawsuit for damages saying neighbor shot me in the head. Well he, he didn't. And I know that and I would get in trouble with the law for filing a lawsuit on that. It's no different than what Powell and her eight couns did in Michigan. They didn't have the evidence, they couldn't back up any other claims, but they made them anyway in a lawsuit and now they're facing justice for it. And all Powell can do is sit there. And wh that, oh me. Oh my, I look like a dangerous lunatic. And if you do SI it's cuz you did it to yourself.
