Disbar Sidney Powell, lawyer who pleaded guilty in Trump's 2020 criminal conspiracy
Sidney Powell should be investigated by the State Bar of Texas for her actions to undermine free and fair elections and the rule of law in America. And if found guilty of serious misconduct, we demand she is disbarred immediately.
Why is this important?
In February, a judge said the Texas commission had not proved Powell violated the Texas attorney code of conduct.
But now, as a defendant in the Georgia Trump case being prosecuted by Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, Sidney Powell pled guilty, agreed to reach a cooperation deal, and agreed to turn state’s evidence. She faced seven felony charges tied to the conspiracy to overthrow the election; her plea deal admitted guilt to misdemeanor charges.
The State Bar of Texas has already investigated Powell for allegedly false and misleading statements to federal courts regarding wild conspiracy theories about Joe Biden’s election. The state bar’s disciplinary arm has indeed sued Powell.
Moreover, on August 25, Michigan U.S. District Court Judge Linda Parker sanctioned Powell for “a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process” in bringing an election fraud case with no basis in law, solely based on “speculation, conjecture, and unwarranted suspicion.” Judge Parker noted that Powell’s conduct warranted a “referral for investigation and possible suspension or disbarment.”
In addition, Powell has apparently named other people as plaintiffs or co-counsel without their consent and falsely represented that other attorneys were her co-counsel, though their roles were nominal or nonexistent. If true, this violates the American Bar Association's model rules for professional conduct.
We ask you to review all the new evidence against Sidney Powell. It appears clear that she is a disgrace to the legal profession and possesses little or no respect for the law. We urge you to consider this evidence, and, if you find it credible, to disbar Sidney Powell.
