The City of Detroit has responded to Sidney Powell's longshot lawsuit trying to overturn the results of Michigan's presidential election. "A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies. Few lawsuits breathe more lies than this one." 
Detroit noticed that Powell's complaint cited exhibits and claims that had already been made in a state court case in Michigan, but didn't mention that the judge rejected them and the appellate courts turned them down, too.
Detroit: "Even the Trump campaign lawsuits have avoided the off-the-walls claims included in this lawsuit."
Detroit: "The fact that the Complaint is frivolous does not mean the lawsuit is not dangerous to our democracy. Plaintiffs seek nothing less than a court-ordered coup d’état."
Detroit just seems pissed off at this point.
The city's brief is actually a quite-good debunking of some of some persistent, baseless claims about fraud -- including some claims currently being aired before the state legislature, by at least one of the same witnesses. They didn't understand the process and made assumptions.

Detroit's lawyers also read the testimony of Powell's expert witnesses, who "pepper their reports with speculation, innuendo and “facts” which are simply not true."
