Texas regulators seek punishment for pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Texas legal regulators have asked a judge to discipline attorney Sidney Powell for filing lawsuits they say were frivolous in support of former President Donald Trump's false claims of election fraud.
The disciplinary action is a major development in what has become a nationwide effort to punish pro-Trump lawyers who tried to overturn the November 2020 presidential election result, but is not a final finding of wrongdoing.
A Texas state court judge will hear the complaint and decide whether to impose a sanction and what that might be.
In the complaint made public on Tuesday, the State Bar of Texas Commission for Lawyer Discipline said Powell "had no reasonable basis" for filing lawsuits challenging President Joe Biden's victories in key battleground states.

I guess the judge in NY said he didn't have jurisdiction over Powell in the suit that Smartmatic filed against her, but she's definitely not out of the woods.
There's something about her. Don't get me wrong--Giuliani, Eastman, Meadows, Stone, Ellis,...the whole bunch of them are batsh*t crazy and have done untold damage to the election process by pushing the BIG LIE. But there's something about Powell. I watched the hearing where Michigan officials sued the "Krakken" lawyers, and watching her talk to the judge made my skin crawl. She couldn't be bothered to take responsibility for anything.
