Formal federal prosecutor and Trump attorney Sidney Powell was cleared of charges from the State Bar of Texas that aimed to disbar Powell.

In a 24-page ruling by the Texas Court of Appeals, the court ruled Texas Bar’s Commission for Lawyer Discipline failed to prove Powell acted in “dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation” in the lawsuits she filed that challenged the results of the 2020 election.

The court said Powell’s “lawsuits alleged a vast election fraud conspiracy involving U.S. Dominion, Inc. (‘Dominion’), a company that manufactures voting machines, foreign actors, state and party officials, and county elections workers.”

The Texas Bar claimed “Powell’s exhibit dates had been altered” in her lawsuits.

The court ruled against the Texas Bar, stating, “Specifically, the Complaint described these exhibits as undated, and the copies attached were undated, but the documents were, in fact, dated.

Per Arizona Sun Times:

Former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell, who brought four lawsuits challenging the results of the 2020 election, was cleared of charges from the State Bar of Texas by the Texas Court of Appeals this month.

The court ruled in a 24-page opinion upholding the trial court that the Texas Bar’s Commission for Lawyer Discipline failed to show how she engaged in “dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation” in lawsuits she filed challenging former President Donald Trump’s presidential loss.

The lower trial court found that the evidence against Powell (pictured above) granted no-evidence summary judgment for her against the Texas Bar, which the bar appealed. The higher court criticized the Texas bar, “The Bar employed a ‘scattershot’ approach to the case, which left this court and the trial court ‘with the task of sorting through the argument to determine what issue ha[d] actually been raised.’”

The court said Powell’s “lawsuits alleged a vast election fraud conspiracy involving U.S. Dominion, Inc. (‘Dominion’), a company that manufactures voting machines, foreign actors, state and party officials, and county elections workers.” The Texas Bar alleged that two of Powell’s exhibits had been altered. The court said, “Specifically, the Complaint described these exhibits as undated, and the copies attached were undated, but the documents were in fact dated.

The court said two of the exhibits were “copied in landscape rather than portrait mode,” which is why the dates were cut off. Powell said she did not draft the complaint or download and attach the exhibits, relying on other counsel. She also said the date or signature on the certificate was in the public record, so “not an issue, and an ‘indisputable fact.’”
