Sidney Powell has moved to dismiss Dominion's defamation lawsuit. She argues that when she accused Dominion of being part of an election-rigging scheme with ties to Venezuela, "no reasonable person would conclude" those "were truly statements of fact"

Sorry, but you need to find another 'legal' source. Someone who actually knows something about the law.

In seeking a dismissal, Powell argued the lawsuit was filed in the wrong jurisdiction and insisted that her claims of a rigged election, facilitated by Dominion equipment, were protected speech.

"In light of all the circumstances surrounding the statements, their context, and the availability of the facts on which the statements were based, it was clear to reasonable persons that Powell’s claims were her opinions and legal theories on a matter of utmost public concern," the filing said.

Sidney Powell used the Tucker Carlson defense, stating that everyone should know that he's full of sh*t. So, some of you were posting BS for months, and idiots stormed the capitol in support of her (and your) totally obvious BS.

Stating an 'Opinion' is not the basis for a defamation suit. Stating an 'Opinion' is the exercise of one's 1st Amendment rights.

From 2 days ago.
Stating an 'Opinion' is not the basis for a defamation suit. Stating an 'Opinion' is the exercise of one's 1st Amendment rights.

Yesterday!
"Yesterday, several news media outlets cut and paste out of context portions of our motion to dismiss the Dominion complaint to “spin” a message that the election fraud allegations that Ms. Powell presented to various courts and to the public were not credible. I’d like to clarify what actually was presented to the court. First, let me be clear: any suggestion that “no reasonable person” would believe Ms. Powell or her comments on the election is false. The language these reports referred to is a legal standard adopted by the courts to determine whether statements qualify as opinions which are exempt from defamation liability.

"As the DC Circuit reaffirmed just last week, there is no claim for defamation when the alleged “defamatory” statement is a legal opinion. Ms. Powell’s statements fall precisely into this category. Ms. Powell reviewed sworn affidavits, declarations, expert testimony, and other highly corroborated evidence concerning the election which Ms. Powell filed with the courts and shared publicly. She continues to stand by those opinions today. Our motion, in part, argues that the Dominion case should be dismissed because legal opinions are not grounds for defamation."
