'Kraken' lawyer Sidney Powell ordered to produce invasive financial documents in Dominion defamation case

Nov 9th, 2024, 1:10 pm


So-called “Kraken” attorney Sidney Powell was instructed to provide Dominion Voting Systems with various and substantial documents in a discovery order issued by a federal court on Friday.

In the case, the initial lawsuit was filed by the voting machine business against Powell in January 2021 — alleging the Texas-based lawyer defamed the company by claiming they “rigged the election, that Dominion was created in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chávez, and that Dominion bribed Georgia officials for a no-bid contract.”

Since then, several additional claimants, counter-claimants, defendants, and plaintiffs have filed motions in no fewer than eight related cases. Along the way, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was also sued, along with former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani. Another voting machine company, Smartmatic, also filed some lawsuits.

As the procedural posture of the matter became increasingly complex, complicated, and unwieldy, the D.C. District Court noted in March of this year that various parties and cases had “consolidated and/or voluntarily coordinated for discovery related to this litigation.”

back in 2020 before he left office and he didn't. And Ghoul was his closest lawyer. So the Kraken crew might be left to hang out to dry.
