Ex-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell served in Biltmore Forest with $1.3B Dominion Voting lawsuit

After evading attempts for weeks by a civil process server that included being "pursued over state lines," ex-Donald Trump lawyer Sidney Powell was served with a $1.3 billion lawsuit at her home in Biltmore Forest, according to recently filed court papers by Dominion Voting Systems.

Dominion filed the defamation lawsuit against Powell Jan. 8 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. But attempts to officially serve the Texas-based attorney with the summons took until Jan. 28, said attorneys for the company.

"Powell evaded service of process for weeks, forcing Dominion to incur unnecessary expenses for extraordinary measures to effect service, including hiring private investigators and pursuing Powell across state lines," according to a Feb. 9 answer to Powell's request for more time to respond to the complaint.

She is being sued over her claims that the company, which manufactured electronic voting machines used by some districts in the 2020 election, changed votes for then-President Trump to votes for then-President-elect Joe Biden.

She is ignorant, but she is smart enough to know they have a case against her. Friends of mine who are lawyers say this suit has legs.

She really thought she could outrun a process server? And she's supposed to be an attorney?

The AdvoCat who appeared on Zoom as a talking kitten was a better lawyer than the Kraken Kook.

I've never heard of Biltmore Forest, so, I thought it was a wildlife refuge or something, and she was on the lamb!!!!

Why not just provide them with the MOUNTAIN of evidence you’ve been collecting since Election Day?
