Then Powell defended herself in court by saying only an idiot would believe the election was rigged.

From an article in theblaze.com: Powell's counsel went on to assert, "Such characterizations of the allegedly defamatory statements further support Defendants' position that reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact but view them only as claims that await testing by the courts through the adversary process."

Claiming Powell is protected by free speech, it also argued, "Those members of the public who were interested in the controversy were free to, and did, review that evidence and reached their own conclusions — or awaited resolution of the matter by the courts before making up their minds."

You have to dig to find the full statements because the MSM wants to present Powell's statements out of context.

From an article in theblaze.com

Enough said. As previously stated, you have no credibility. To even entertain the idea of fraud in the face of such overwhelming evidence that there was non and such a lack of evidence that there was only shows your ignorance and destroys any good standing you have to be talked to on an equal level. I repeat, I can't talk to you about zoology if you believe unicorns or loch ness monsters are real.

.....and just as btw, the courts DID make up their minds. They decided overwhelmingly that there was absolutely 0 evidence of fraud and therefore tossed ALL the lawsuits and certified the election. This includes republican and Trump appointed judges and his own lawyers.

End of story.

So those statements by Powell and her attorneys are false?

"As previously stated, you have no credibility"? What are you talking about?

Yes. You're getting the picture. Everything powell says is false. And the thing about reviewing the evidence and letting "the people" make up their minds.......

The "evidence" was reviewed and it was found there was no evidence. That's the exact reason powell was having to defend herself in court. And the people did decide. That's why trunp isn't president anymore. There were like 50 court cases about it and Trump literally lost them all.

I respect your opinion on this matter, but I think you got me mixed up with another user.

I wasn't asking if you thought Powell's statements were false. I was asking if you were saying that theblaze.com wrote a false story misquoting Powell and her lawyers. There's a big difference in listing the quotes "no reasonable person would believe there was fraud", and "no reasonable person would believe there was fraud unless they heard the evidence for themselves".
