And she knows why! What she was accusing Dominion of was utter b******t!
There was a time when Sidney Powell, the former Donald Trump attorney, welcomed a confrontation with Dominion Voting Systems, the election technology firm demonized by the Trumpist right. But when the moment came for her to be served with a defamation lawsuit, Powell wouldnât even get out of her car.
On Jan. 28, following Dominionâs prolonged hunt for her âacross state lines,â the process server finally caught up to Powell at her home in Biltmore Forest, North Carolina. Dominion has sued major Trumpworld figures Powell and Rudy Giuliani for their false, Trump-backed claims that the voting-tech company was part of a massive conspiracy to rig the election for current Democratic President Joe Biden. Powell helped spearhead some of Trumpâs most extremist efforts, and most absurd conspiracy-theory-fueled fantasies, for nullifying Bidenâs 2020 victory. Dominion has also sent legal threats to various MAGA allies in the former presidentâs media and social orbits, leading to a wave of retractions. But in Powellâs case, the former Trump lawyer proved particularly difficult to track down.
On that evening of Jan. 28, the assigned process server spotted Powell and her small entourage pulling into the driveway and arriving back at the North Carolina residence. But as the process server was trying to get a bead on Powell, the cops were already on their way. Someoneâitâs unclear whoâhad called the police.
What ensued was a bizarre, 15-minute back-and-forth, with the cops, Powell and co., and the process server all gathered on the driveway. At one point, an associate of Powellâs seemingly tried to block the server from doing their job, with the Trump-aligned lawyer refusing to be personally served.
âIt was weird as shit,â one of the people familiar with the matter said. âSidney Powell is a lawyer, she knows how this works⌠Just because you donât acknowledge the process serverâs existence doesnât mean it didnât happen.â
Even for Trumpist Sidney Powell, This Was âWeird as Sh*tâ
It was bound to get a little odd when Dominion Voting Systems tried to serve the âKrakenâ legal mind with a defamation suit for demonizing the firm. But this was extra.
