Sidney Powell's defamtion case is the perfect opportunity for Powell to do what the Right has been clamoring to do, which even included disrupting the functions of government during January 6th insurrection:
Present their case that the election was stolen. 1/
One of the absolute defenses available to defendant's in defamation cases?
The truth.
So not only would Powell's defamation case provide an opportunity to present the evidence the Right not only claims to have about election fraud, but also claim the courts wouldn't hear,....2/
....but the defamation trial would also provide Powell with the most definitive and efficient defense for winning her case.
But instead, she's invoking a more subjective/less certain "reasonable man" defense.
Why would Powell fail to take advantage of that opportunity? 3/
Because, as @StuartStevens so comprehensively dissected:
"It Was All A Lie"....
.....and desperately claiming/pleading that no "reasonable person" would believe the gaslighting disinformation that she poisoned the country with is the only option she has. 4/
It's interesting to note that while Powell claims that no reasonable person would believe the gaslighting disinformation she spread, one of her defenses is that "SHE believed the allegations then and she believes them now".
And by doing so, Powell self-owned w/that admission. 5/
