Sidney is about to face the music in Texas...
The State Bar of Texas has filed a disciplinary action against attorney Sidney Powell, accusing her of professional misconduct for filing several federal lawsuits contesting the election of President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump in 2020.
The bar association’s Commission for Lawyer Discipline filed the lawsuit in Dallas County District Court on March 1, and the case was first made public seven days later. The commission says it sued Powell, of Dallas, after receiving 10 separate complaints against her since December 2020.
“Beginning in or about November of 2020[,] respondent filed multiple federal lawsuits in different jurisdictions (including the District Court of Arizona, the Northern District of Georgia, the Eastern District of Michigan, and the Eastern District of Wisconsin) alleging, inter alia, election fraud has occurred in the national presidential election in 2020,” the six-page complaint states. “Respondent had no reasonable basis to believe the lawsuits she filed were not frivolous.” (Parentheses in original.)
The lawsuit claims Powell violated Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and five subsections of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.
