Sydney Powell and Mike Lindell may be in for a big surprise when they launch their Super PAC

WASHINGTON — Onetime "Stop the Steal" lawyer Sydney Powell and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell will need to look for a new bank for their new Super PAC.

Late Friday, Powell and Jesse Binnall, an attorney who represented the campaign of former President Donald Trump in its attempt to overturn the presidential election results in Nevada, filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission forming the new super PAC called Restore the Republic, which Powell has said also involved Lindell and the brother of Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

As required by the FEC, they listed the bank they'll be using: Arkansas-based Bank OZK (formerly known as Bank of the Ozarks).

But a day later, a spokeswoman for the bank told Raw Story that not only does the company have nothing to do with the new political action committee, it doesn't even handle that kind of banking.

"We have done a thorough inquiry and determined this entity has no account at Bank OZK, has no account pending, and has never had an account here. Per our established policy, the PAC is not eligible for an account with Bank OZK," Susan Blair, executive vice president and spokeswoman for Bank OZK, said. "We have policies in place prohibiting accounts for certain entities. We don't publicly disclose the specifics of those policies."

Little Rock-based Bank OZK says it was surprised to find itself mentioned in a Federal Election Commission filing for a Super PAC involving Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” lawyer Sydney Powell; his major supporter, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, and Mike Flynn’s brother, Joe.

How can she make legal filings that are demonstrably false?

She needs to be removed from the legal profession.

Memory is not good, but I think old man Huckabee had ties with the bank when he was governor.
