Sidney Powell is about to have the Kraken unleashed on her... Feds Are Asking Questions About Sidney Powell and Her Pro-Trump Group HITS KEEP COMING This is just the latest problem for the embattled 'Kraken Queen.' https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-are-asking-questions-about-sidney-powell-and-her-pro-trump-group
It Sure Looks Like Sidney Powell Wrote the Order to Seize Voting Machines The document bears a striking resemblance to one published on Powell’s own website. https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjbzdw/sidney-powell-executive-order-voting-machines A draft executive order that would have allowed former President Donald Trump to seize voting machines in the wake of the 2020 election was published in full for the first time on Friday, showing the lengths the Trump administration considered going to in their campaign to overturn the vote. The document is not signed, but new research suggests it was almost certainly authored by “Kraken” lawyer Sidney Powell. The draft order was turned over to the committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection last week after the Supreme Court dismissed former President Trump’s last-ditch attempt to block the committee’s requests for documents. It was first published by Politico on Friday. The three-page draft order, dated Dec. 16, 2020, would have ordered the secretary of defense to “seize, collect, retain, and analyze” voting equipment and electronic records and gave the secretary “discretion to determine the interdiction of national critical infrastructure supporting federal election.” The draft order cites a number of the well-trodden and thoroughly debunked election fraud conspiracies that Trump and his allies promoted in the weeks after the election. These included claims of foreign interference and claims that voting machines are “intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.” These were all lies that Powell herself was promoting at the time. Over the weekend, one open-source researcher, who publishes election fraud disinformation reports on the Trapezoid of Discovery newsletter, immediately spotted some similarities with another document he’d seen recently. “I was immediately reminded of a document I discovered a couple of months ago that was posted to Sidney Powell’s website,” he wrote in a post on his website. The researcher, whom VICE News has spoken to in order to confirm his identity, prefers to remain anonymous in order to protect his privacy. That document, an unsigned 22-page memo titled “SUMMARY FOREIGN INTERFERENCE DRAFT 12.22.2020”, sets out to justify government action to overturn the election. To back this up, the document repeats most of the debunked and bogus claims of widespread election fraud, which Powell and other Trump allies had spread in the weeks after President Joe Biden won the election. The two documents had a lot in common, and according to CopyLeak, a tool used by organizations like the UN and the BBC to identify plagiarism, 67.2% of the draft executive order matched the 22-page foreign interference memo. And in some cases the similarities were very obvious, including one sentence that matched word-for-word, though it is possible that someone else used the contents of the memo to create the draft order. Another key indicator that the documents were authored by the same person is the mention of two National Security Presidential Memoranda, the existence of one of which had not been known publicly. The executive order would also approve “the appointment of a Special Counsel to oversee this operation and institute all criminal and civil proceedings as appropriate based on the evidence collected,” according to the draft order. And in the final lines of the document, there was another clue suggesting Powell’s involvement: The draft order concludes by referring to the special counsel carrying out “her duties.” The possibility that Powell wrote the draft executive order won’t come as a surprise to those who’ve been closely tracking what was happening inside the White House in the weeks following the election. By December, Powell had become a central figure in the effort to undermine the validity of the vote, and together with a group of other pro-Trump lawyers, filed what became known as the “Kraken” lawsuits, conspiracy-filled documents designed to overturn election results in half a dozen states. Of the 62 lawsuits made during this period, 61 were thrown out of court instantly. The single victory was a minor one in Pennsylvania, where a judge ruled that voters who did not provide proper identification within three days of the election could not go back and fix errors on their ballots. But in the middle of December 2020, Powell still held a lot of sway within the administration and on Dec. 18, two days after the date on the executive order, Powell was in an Oval Office meeting with disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn and Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne. During that meeting, according to Axios, Powell reportedly urged Trump to seize voting machines and to appoint her as a special counsel to investigate the election. Powell, who is facing several billion-dollar lawsuits and the threat of having her law license revoked, has been subpoenaed to appear before the Jan. 6 committee. She did not immediately respond to VICE News’ request for comment, sent to her lawyer.

It’s Possible That There Isn’t A Kraken That Needs Releasing After All, Powell Concedes https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/...hat-needs-releasing-after-all-powell-concedes
Yes, Kraken, you really do have to take those remedial legal classes. Sidney Powell must comply with nonmonetary sanctions, court rules https://news.yahoo.com/sidney-powell-must-comply-nonmonetary-232449341.html A federal appeals court on Thursday ruled that Sidney Powell and other attorneys who unsuccessfully sued to block President Biden's 2020 electoral win in Michigan must comply with nonmonetary sanctions imposed by a federal judge. The ruling rebuffed a request from the group of six pro-Trump lawyers who had asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit to pause enforcement of a Detroit-based federal judge's sanctions determination ahead of a Friday deadline. In a brief order, a three-judge appellate panel blasted the attorneys for failing to seek relief directly from U.S. District Judge Linda Parker, who imposed the penalties in August, and for dragging their feet before filing their 6th Circuit motion. "They waited more than two months to seek a stay, knowing the February 25 deadline was imminent," the panel wrote. Parker's August ruling ordered the lawyers to complete at least 12 hours of legal education as part of their punishment for filing a lawsuit targeting Michigan's voting results, which Parker said represented "a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process." The Michigan-based suit on behalf of Trump accused public officials of illegally manipulating ballots in order to assist Biden in getting elected and sought to decertify Michigan's vote count. The attorneys involved in the litigation were also ordered to pay $175,000 in legal fees, though Parker agreed to pause enforcement of the payments while appeals play out. Those costs were ordered to be divided equally among the nine sanctioned attorneys, who included Powell and Lin Wood, two of the more prominent promoters of former President Trump's false claims about the 2020 election results being tainted by widespread voter fraud and irregularities. Wood and two other sanctioned attorneys were not parties to the matter that was ruled on Thursday by the 6th Circuit. Powell did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If you see a woman rambling incoherently about globalists and Hugo Chavez on a street corner, waving what look to be legal documents written in crayon on a napkin, there's a grand jury in Georgia that would really like to know her whereabouts. Sidney Powell skips grand jury interview in Georgia investigation of Trump's coup attempt: report https://www.rawstory.com/sidney-powell-fulton-grand-jury/ Controversial far-right attorney Sidney Powell was scheduled to appear before a Fulton County special grand jury in Georgia on Thursday, but did not appear as scheduled. "Sidney Powell, former attorney of former President Donald Trump, was scheduled to testify Thursday morning, but sources tell Channel 2 Action News that there may have been some confusion over the subpoena, and she apparently did not testify," WSB-TV reported. "It is unclear if there will be legal repercussions from her failure to appear." In January, Powell was subpoenaed by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol. "According to court records, the grand jury wants to ask Powell about her involvement in an incident that happened in South Georgia in January 2021," WSB reported. "Video shows several people being let into the County Elections Office to download elections data from voting machines and an elections server. State investigators call it 'criminal behavior' and say Sidney Powell paid for it all." When Powell was subpoenaed by the select committee, it wrote its investigation, "has revealed credible evidence that you publicly promoted claims that the 2020 election was stolen and participated in attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of the election results based on your allegations. Between mid-November 2020 and January 6, 2021 (and thereafter), you actively promoted claims of election fraud on behalf of former President Trump in litigation and public appearances." "The Select Committee seeks the evidence you relied upon in making those claims. According to public reporting, in December 2020, you urged President Trump to direct the seizure of voting machines around the country to find evidence that foreign adversaries had hacked those machines and altered the results of the election," the subpoena read.
