... The truth eventually wins out
May 22, 2024
Dear Patriot,
The term “lawfare” - a play on “warfare” - was not used much, if at all, in any media platforms prior to the election of Donald Trump. Since that time it is used almost hourly.
It is one of, if not THE, most ruthless weapon in the Democrat tool box.
Lawfare is the use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual's usage of their legal rights.
We see it in loud use against President Trump. But, it is also happening in quieter ways to Sidney Powell and others.
Recently, attorney Daniel Street actually did real journalism on the lawfare being perpetrated against Sidney and an in-depth accounting to why she thought it was vital to step into the breach in the wake of a highly questionable election.
Today we are highlighting the first two articles in a five part series. Please visit the links and read them in full.
As always, we implore you to share this information far and wide.
Also today….
Hear the truth from one of the few people allowed to stay in the Trump courtroom on Monday when the corrupt judge kicked anyone out.
A warrior is fighting hard to help the next election be fair.
How much was it worth to the government to keep you from taking Ivermectin?
Yet another problem the leftist are blaming on global warming.
NOTE: We are providing this 5-part series of articles to ALL our viewers - Paid and Free - as a courtesy … and as a reminder why Defending The Republic charges a modest $5 / month for access to all our articles. The lawfare being waged against Sidney is very real and very scary. We appreciate your support in all its forms.
1- There has been little written about the many people who have been struggling for over four years with relentless attacks from the Democrats.
So, we were grateful to read this five part series on the challenges Sidney Powell is enduring. This is a harrowing story of corruption and retribution for the crime of speaking out and trying to DO something about a shady election.

The Hunting of Sidney Powell, Part 1
QUOTE: In the three-plus years since the 2020 presidential election, Democrats and Never Trumpers have been waging lawfare campaigns against conservative lawyers, judges, news personalities, and politicians nationwide. These attacks take many forms, ranging from the failed efforts to disqualify President Donald Trump from the ballot to the illegitimate federal and state indictments of him, from the indictments of Republican alternate electors in several swing states to the efforts to disbar or discipline attorneys to an endless stream of lawsuits seeking damages.
One conservative lawyer has borne the brunt of the leftist lawfare avalanche like few others: former Trump attorney Sidney Powell. The sheer number, scope, and vitriolic nature of the lawfare waged against her in the aftermath of her challenges to the 2020 election is eclipsed only by the attacks on Trump himself.
A closer look at the attacks on Powell reveals she is the victim of bar complaints from people who never consulted with her, did not even know her, and whom she never represented. Several of the bar complaints are from leftist politicians who habitually and brazenly disregard the truth and the law. As is so often the case in today’s weaponized legal environment, some of the attacks emanate from the two-tiered justice system, where conservative lawyers like Powell (and Republicans generally) are sanctioned without the testimony of a single witness. Additionally, still more of the attacks are lawsuits seeking grotesque amounts of damages.
The lawfare being waged against Powell is too vast and complex to be adequately addressed in a single article. Therefore, this five-part series will begin by providing background on Powell and her accomplishments in the legal field, followed by a general description of her involvement in post-election lawsuits in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, followed by an outline of the lawfare itself. We’ll then review the election irregularities in Michigan, the sanctions order against Powell in that state, and the ethics complaints and defamation suits against her.
I was privileged to have the opportunity to communicate directly with Powell for this article and, whenever possible, her thoughts and observations are included.
Most readers will recognize Powell as the attorney who represented former Trump National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, and obtained the government’s dismissal of the charges against him. However, her credentials go far beyond the representation of high-profile clients.
2- Part 2 is all about massive Michigan misconduct.
The Hunting of Sidney Powell, Part 2
QUOTE: A review of some of the irregularities of Michigan’s 2020 presidential election is in order. These issues should be kept in mind when considering the lawsuit Sidney Powell filed in that state and the federal court there that sanctioned her for it. A brief recap of some of the more important issues with the election will inform readers. See the list at the link above.
In addition to the issues noted, Republican poll watchers and election observers reported extensive abuse, intimidation, threats and harassment from election workers in Detroit during the election. Michigan Citizens for Election Integrity highlighted the way Detroit election workers abused Republican poll watchers in its report, “TCF Timeline: The 2020 General Election in Detroit” as follows:
Please take the time to review the TCF Timeline Report linked above. You will marvel at the abuse listed therein. How is this type of behavior — by elections officials — allowed?
There are plenty of additional issues with Michigan’s 2020 election, but this handful fueled the serious concerns people of all political persuasions had with the legitimacy of the vote leading up to Election Day. Republicans everywhere knew the Democrats and the far left would pull out all the stops to deliver the White House to Joe Biden in November.
When the concerns about the election went beyond theoretical, Sidney Powell tried to do something about it. This effort culminated in four federal election lawsuits, including one filed in Michigan. This ultimately resulted in a $175,000 sanctions order against Powell and her co-counsel. We’ll discuss that in Part 3.
3- Read this full description by Alan Dershowitz of the courtroom in the Trump trial in New York when the judge kicked everyone out.
I was inside the court when the judge closed the Trump trial and ordered evetyone out What I saw shocked me.
QUOTE: I have observed and participated in trials throughout the world. I have seen justice and injustice in China, Russia, Ukraine, England, France, Italy, Israel, as well as in nearly 40 of our 50 states.
But in my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the one I observed sitting in the front row of the courthouse yesterday.
The judge in Donald Trump’s trial was an absolute tyrant, though he appeared to the jury to be a benevolent despot. He seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every turn. Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense, while including irrelevant evidence offered by the prosecution. But when the defense’s only substantive witness, the experienced attorney Robert Costello, raised his eyebrows at one of New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s rulings, the court went berserk.
Losing his cool and showing his thin skin, the judge cleared the courtroom of everyone including the media. For some reason, I was allowed to stay, and I observed one of the most remarkable wrong-headed biases I have ever seen. The judge actually threatened to strike all of Costello’s testimony if he raised his eyebrows again.
That of course would have been unconstitutional because it would have denied the defendant his Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses and to raise a defense.
It would have punished the defendant for something a witness was accused of doing.
Even if what Costello did was wrong, and it was not, it would be utterly improper and unlawful to strike his testimony — testimony that undercut and contradicted the government’s star witness.
The judge’s threat was absolutely outrageous, unethical, unlawful and petty. Moreover, his affect while issuing that unconstitutional threat revealed his utter contempt for the defense and anyone who testified for the defendant. The public should have been able to see the judge in action, but because the case is not being televised, the public has to rely on the biased reporting of partisan journalists.
But the public was even denied the opportunity to hear from journalists who saw the judge in action because he cleared the courtroom.
I am one of the few witnesses to his improper conduct who remained behind to observe his deep failings.
Even when journalists do report on courtroom proceedings, their accounts must be taken with a grain of salt. When you watch CNN or MSNBC, you generally see an account of a trial that never took place. They spin the events so much that reality is totally distorted.
