Google to Invest $15 Billion in New Data Center and Promises Thousands of Jobs

 

Lately, Sidney Powell has been widely misunderstood because the media, and some in the political arena, have cleverly edited language. This article will be limited in scope, and is a companion piece to the brilliantly written UncoverDC article written on March 31 by Mackenzie Bettle. His article is fulsome and explains the details of her Motion to Dismiss the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against her far better than I can.

 

It is important to mention some context for my position in this opinion piece which will be based on facts with specific language from her complaint. My aim is to hopefully break things down the best way I can, so even a peabrain like me would be able to understand her intent.

 

Powell has been practicing law, legitimately and credibly for upwards of 43 years. It is indisputable that she is a highly respected lawyer and her record speaks for itself. In that context, it would be very odd for her to suddenly ditch her duty to continue to practice law in a credible manner. The idea that she is now a liar and has suddenly eschewed her “fidelity to the law” are on their face, frankly, ridiculous. Also worth a mention is the fact that there would be serious consequences, both professional and monetary, for a lawyer of her stature to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct.

 

Generally, when judging someone’s actions it is important to summon one’s common sense with an eye to past and present behavior—and then decide whether (barring a schizophrenic break) the actions being judged fit with what you have come to know about the person’s behavior— or are somehow aberrant. If the behavior seems to be aberrant, further investigation may be necessary and, in this case, the investigation is to dissect a sentence from Powell’s legal argument that has some how been twisted out of context to suit the agendas of those whose motives may not be completely transparent.

 

To illustrate the misunderstanding that has grown out of either purposeful or ignorant interpretation of Powell’s argument, I provide here just one of the latest of countless examples of the distortion of her legal argument which attempts to fool the reader into believing Powell is a dishonest, legal hack.

 

We can remember the  tweet that refers to the motion that Attorney General Dana Nessel announced she would file against Powell on April 7. The tweet is important because the responses to it fairly represent the reactions of many to Powell’s language in the motion—which, in many cases, has been pulled out of context and then disseminated in the media as a way to discredit Powell. Since context matters, my best guess is that many of those responding have not read the motion nor do they know the details of the ongoing election fraud cases in Michigan that might cause consternation for Nessel. I will leave it to the reader to form an opinion as to the motive behind Nessel’s statement.

 

There are many others just like them. You get the idea. And, by the way, right after the motion was filed, many who had previously been loyal to Powell were seen all over Twitter making similar statements. The vitriol crossed party lines and could have been avoided for many had the facts been reported in context.
