Well, would you look at that.
Now what do the Democrats have to say, the ones that were so quick to point the finger at Sidney Powell?
Justice arrived on Wednesday, when a Texas court stated that it wasn’t proven that Powell was guilty of “fraud, dishonesty, deceit, or misrepresentation.”
Let’s see how many from the Left, how many from the legacy media will offer her an apology.
We may be waiting a while.

Reuters reports:
A Texas appellate court on Wednesday upheld a decision to reject attorney disciplinary charges against Donald Trump ally Sidney Powell, finding that the state’s bar failed to prove that she had engaged in “fraud, dishonesty, deceit, or misrepresentation.”The Dallas-based Fifth Court of Appeals of Texas said in a 23-page opinion that state bar prosecutors “employed a ‘scattershot’ approach to the case,” which alleged that Powell had “no reasonable basis” for filing lawsuits challenging U.S. President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victories in key battleground states.A judge had sided with Powell in the case last year, finding “numerous defects” in the evidence presented by the State Bar of Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline.A representative for the Texas state bar said the commission would meet to determine its next steps and declined to comment further. Powell’s attorney Robert Holmes did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A Dallas appeals court on Thursday upheld a decision not to discipline Sidney Powell, former lawyer for Donald Trump, for her role in seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election, saying the complaint against her was riddled with errors.
In a scathing 25-page opinion, a panel of three Democratic judges criticized the state bar for filing a complaint against Powell with mislabeled evidence. A Collin County judge had tossed the case in early 2023, citing the disorganization.
“The Bar employed a ‘scattershot’ approach to the case, which left this court and the trial court ‘with the task of sorting through the argument to determine what issue ha(d) actually been raised,’” wrote Judge Dennise Garcia.
The appeals court agreed that the bar had not met its burden of proof to show Powell knowingly made a false statement or used false evidence when she filed lawsuits to overturn the election results.
Powell’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The trial court declined to consider any evidence that the bar failed to cite or identify, and the appeals court on Thursday said it would do the same.
A bar committee, which declined to comment on the ruling, had asked the appeals court to consider all evidence even if citations were incorrect or missing.
“Reference alone will not suffice,” Garcia wrote, adding that according to court precedent, the “court was not required to sift through plaintiff’s voluminous evidence to determine whether any of it raised (a) fact question.”
Claire Reynolds, a bar spokesperson, said the commission has not yet decided whether it will appeal.
