I have him on ignore but I’d be ok if people reply to his posts with a link to what they attach to all of Trumps nonsense.Why?
This is the only account I have ever ignored in all my years here.I have him on ignore but I’d be ok if people reply to his posts with a link to what they attach to all of Trumps nonsense.
This claim about election fraud is disputed.
I refuse to ignore anyone, but I would appreciate if others not quote his wall of text.This is the only account I have ever ignored in all my years here.
I have a long and luxurious ignore list - many people said it was impossible but it’s the greatest you’ve ever seen. Nobody knows more about the ignore list than me.This is the only account I have ever ignored in all my years here.

I have nothing against him (mainly because I stopped reading his posts almost immediately so I have no clue what he's typing). It's too burdensome. I don't need to put him on ignore though - easy enough just to scroll down.Osaurus said:This is the only account I have ever ignored in all my years here.
Me too. If you want to have a discussion that's fine but most of the posts are too long and convoluted to be bothered with. I just scroll right by themI have nothing against him (mainly because I stopped reading his posts almost immediately so I have no clue what he's typing). It's too burdensome.

He keeps saying Powel and Lin are "dumb," but I think that misses the point. If you assume they are trying to win their case as expeditiously and efficiently as possible, as would be a safe assumption in most cases of legal representation, he's correct - they seem very dumb. But if you understand that they are not employed by the Trump campaign or anyone else looking at the bottom line, and that their work is funded by gullible donors who don't understand the legal process, and that their personal financial interests are best served by burning through the cash they've raised as quickly as possible, it all makes sense. The risk they face is ending up on the wrong end of a lawsuit like this group. If you assume their interest is purely driven by personal financial gain, it makes perfect sense that they would file frivolous interlocutory appeals that temporarily stay the underlying case to keep their staff billing round the clock, and try to work this thing as hard as they can in as many different venues as possible for as long as they can. It is possible all these cases will be moot in a week or two, so they have to get there's while the gettin is good.Maurile Tremblay said:Thread:Maurile Tremblay said:The sample of Powell's work that I've seen from the last few weeks, even accounting for time constraints, has not been impressive.

That all he had to do was "call lawyers" and reversing the election results would be a trivial matter?
The key is being honest with your client at the beginning. And letting them know it sucks. I reckon Rudy hasn't done that.

Someone on twitter pointed out that the website for Powell's "legal defense fund" (https://defendingtherepublic.org/) directs "donors" to write checks directly to her law firm ("If you prefer to send a check, please make payable to: Sidney Powell, PC. Address: 10130 Northlake Blvd. #214342, West Palm Beach, Florida 33412") When asked, she claimed these funds are "being held in trust" while they work around the clock to fight corruption. https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports/status/1334153875796922369/photo/1This is seeming more and more correct.

You know, if this woman was a doctor, somebody would have restrained her in a straight jacket and led her far away from patients for gross malpractice. Is there not some sort of legal swat team that can put an end do this feckless behavior?Someone on twitter pointed out that the website for Powell's "legal defense fund" (https://defendingtherepublic.org/) directs "donors" to write checks directly to her law firm ("If you prefer to send a check, please make payable to: Sidney Powell, PC.

I love this quote:
So Powell filed a draft motion “accidentally” in Wisconsin when filing for a TRO and, shocking I know, didn’t comply with the basics of a request for a TRO. So now, the defendants are not even required to file a response until AFTER the electoral college has met.

There's a short con and a long con here, imo. The short con is to generate as many donations as possible, with a sense of urgency placed upon donations received before Congress certifies the election on January 6th.This is seeming more and more correct.

Pepper is an excellent judge. Former prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer, then became a bankruptcy judge in the E.D. Wisconsin, and later moved to the District Court - upstairs in the same building. She was the chief bankruptcy judge and is now Chief judge for the Eastern District. She's a good writer.

JERRY LAMBE DEC 2, 2020 2:20 PM
Because the afternoon motion indicates that the plaintiffs ‘will’ provide electronic notice to the adverse parties, the court does not know whether the plaintiffs have yet provided notice to the adverse parties or when they will do so,” Pepper wrote. “While the caption of the motion includes the word ‘emergency’ and the attached proposed order seeks an ‘expedited’ injunction, neither the motion nor the proposed order indicate whether the plaintiffs are asking the court to act more quickly or why. As indicated, the motion does not request a hearing. It does not propose a briefing schedule.”
Thus, under the court’s rules, the defendants have up to 21 days to respond to the complaint, meaning a response isn’t required until a week after the Electoral College votes President-elect Joe Biden into office.

I know the Trump supporters won't listen, but you guys should be furious at Trump and his legal team for being so bad at being lawyers. Their work has been grotesquely unprofessional. They deserve the jokes made about them its been so bad. If the election was truly a fraud and there needed to be an investigation and legal challenge then they have been the absolute wrong team, the absolute worst team, and they have lied to all of you about what they say they know how to do.Wisconsin Federal Judge Picks Apart Sidney Powell and Lin Wood’s Lawsuit in ‘Brutal’ Order

I just saw this on Pacer. This is well past a few honest mistakes that anyone could make, and is into the realm of bizarre. I don't know why any lawyer would think they should file a Notice of Appearance a day after filing the complaint, a motion, and briefs. It serves no purpose. Its bad enough she had to amend her pleadings later on the same day she filed the case, and still got it all wrong. The fact they followed that up on day 2 by accidently filing a blank form, with all the country watching, is really hard to comprehend.And she just filed a notice of appearance to the same court where all of the fillable spots on the PDF were left completely blank.

Straight cash homey.I'm starting to believe some of the speculation that she is doing it on purpose.
If true then it is sickening to see an American citizen willing to mess with their country just for money.I think Powell is playing 12D Chess here... she's being pitifully inept on purpose so a judge finally gets tired of her, holds her in contempt and basically shuts her down. Then, she can go to the public and say that the Deep State has put the kibosh on her. She knows most average Americans won't look at her (on purpose) mistakes...so she'll look like a victim of a Shadow Government.
I get the grift aspect. But wouldn't this be more effective if her filings looked a tad more legitimate - not egregiously disregarding the space bar, spelling and grammar mistakes, missing attachments, and documents that are outright blank or supposedly drafts?Straight cash homey.
The people paying her aren't holding her accountable / don't care / also know it's all b.s. They're cool with it as long as she's working their agenda. In other words, the goal isn't to bring / win cases - the goal is to maintain an endless barrage of fear / uncertainty / doubt that resonates with their credulous support demographic. Vacuous allegations and filings do that nicely.I get the grift aspect.
