Wow!NEW: Sidney Powell is moving to dismiss Dominion's defamation suit against her — arguing that "no reasonable person" would conclude her baseless accusations of an election-rigging scheme "were truly statements of fact."
No doubt the true believers will just decide that the Deep State paedo-lizards have "got to her".This is an absolutely staggering capitulation that fucks over Lindell and Wood and rips the heart out of everything Trump world believes. Particularly funny given how much she's been bragging about how much she was looking forward to the court case wherein she would crush Dominion and prove Trump won.
I think she should plead diminished responsibility, she must be literally insane.
A reasonable person is the average person. And the average person isn’t smart. So you’re right. She wasn’t going for dumb people who wouldn’t even read her claims and reports. Only competent people read her reports and actually understood it and made up their minds about it.
This is so far beyond wanting to have your cake and eat it, it's like trying to both have and eat a cake that never existed in the first place.Best defence of Powell's statement I've seen... the claim being that when she said that reasonable people would have know they weren't statements of fact, she was implying that people who are smarter than the merely reasonable - say an IQ in the 140s or so - would indeed recognize that these statements were factual.
