Sidney Powell should surrender her Texas bar card

Attorney Sidney Powell, an attorney for Donald Trump, speaks in Alpharetta, Ga., on Dec. 2, 2020. She pleaded guilty as part of deal with prosecutors over her efforts to overturn Trump’s loss in Georgia but continues to fight the State Bar of Texas and won't give up her bar card.In Georgia last week, the former lawyer for Donald Trump pleaded guilty to six reduced criminal charges stemming from her efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in that state.

Powell, who even Trump has since disavowed, is wasting taxpayer money by keeping up this court fight. It’s time for her to surrender her Texas bar card and be consistent in her words and actions.The bar has no evidence? Powell had no evidence when she pushed the conspiracy theory that the operator of voting machines in Georgia and other battleground states was working in concert with foreign dictators, state officials and even county workers to rig votes in favor of Joe Biden.

She and her out-there allegations have now been completely discredited. Just ask the folks at Fox News, which in April agreed to a $787.5 million settlement to resolve a defamation case brought by the voting machine operator. Powell appeared often on Fox News in the days after the election, pushing her conspiracy theory without evidence.

Surprisingly, Claire Reynolds, a bar spokesperson, told us Powell’s Georgia guilty pleas do not affect the Texas case because technically “the conduct at issue in the appeal is different from the conduct at issue in Georgia.” State district Judge Andrea Bouressa of Collin County threw out the bar’s case in February largely based on clerical errors the bar made in some of its filings. The case is currently pending on appeal.

Powell couldn’t be reached for comment. But Robert Holmes, her attorney in the Texas case, said calling for her to voluntarily drop the case and turn in her bar card was “crazy.”.
