Crackpot lawyer Sidney Powell, shredded credibility and all, shows up in Rapid City and gives a secret talk.


Sidney Powell is the lawyer who somehow attached herself to the comedy act posing as a legal team trying to convince the country that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election. So outrageous were her widely derided claims of fraud and conspiracy that even Trump and his advisors were moved to publicly disavow the hopelessly delusional Powell.

Her lawyers have been defending her from a $1.3 billion defamation suit filed by a voting system manufacturer, which says that it was maligned by her charges. So ludicrous are Powell’s claims that even her desperate lawyers say of Powell’s alleged defamations: “reasonable people would not accept them as fact.” The flip side of that assertion is that if you accept Powell’s claims as fact, you’re unreasonable. Essentially, her defense is that she’s a phony with a big mouth, therefore she could not be guilty of maligning anyone. She doesn’t even take herself seriously.

With that backdrop, it’s a little hard to figure why some Rapid Citians think Powell is credible enough to give them a talk about . . . what? Nobody really knows about “what.” That’s because The Rapid City Journal, which was set to cover the event, was turned away at the door.

Kevin Woster did a great piece on this for South Dakota Public Broadcasting. According to Woster’s column, one of the board members of Citizens for Liberty, which hosted the gathering, invited RCJ to send a reporter and photographer. On arrival at the event the paper was told that a Powell associate would have to review the piece before it was published. Adding to Powell’s paranoia about what a local paper might say about her talk, her reps also wanted to know what the RCJ journalists thought about her. Apparently dissatisfied with the RCJ response, Powell’s people told the paper to scram.

1. Does that mean...

she can visit movie theaters, Broadway plays, lectures etc. yelling FIRE, FIRE but no one should pay attention to her because she's a known mental case, and shouldn't be taken seriously?

Bullshit. She wasn't kidding when she went through all of her litigation trying to get someone to go along with her outrageous claims of election fraud.

She knew exactly what she was doing. GUILTY! Disbarred and sentenced to 5 years prison time. Next case.

2. And the sixty four dollar question...

Did she get her COVID vaccination?

3. Powell can't handle the truth (n/t)

4. Wonder if they were planning their Aug 13th activities

behind closed doors, you know the day Der orange Führer thinks he'll be president again
with nobody voting on that scenario except himself.

5. Citizens for Liberty sounds like

A crackpot organization, too. They probably paid this nut to go there.

OTOH, the citizens of SD at least have some credible journalism at the site cited in the OP.

8. Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, and Wyoming are the states where I have difficulty

finding credible journalism without a reich-wing bias. It took me awhile, but I finally located a few decent journalism sites and a couple of blogs for South Dakota.

6. Yes, from what I hear they're all into secret meetings and talks, no press invited

to rouse up the rabble and create more impossible scenarios to install their dictatorship.

9. Well, it is hard for "patriots" to secretly plot insurrection when the feds are monitoring their

electronic communications. (Okay, that is an assumption). Maybe it is simpler to have meet-ups and do the dirties behind closed doors. Now we just need a leaker or two to give us the details. This rational person wants to know.
