Powell brought post-election lawsuits in Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia in the aftermath of the 2020 election, which alleged widespread fraud and sought to overturn the results-a legal strategy Powell dubbed “releas the Kraken” after the 1981 film The Clash of the Titans. Discovery will be very interesting.” Key Background The Texas Bar elevated baseless grievances by Michigan politicians to baseless full-blown litigation now headed for full discovery and a trial. “If any court had applied the same standard to our election lawsuits, there could not have been a case filed by the Texas Bar,” Powell said in an emailed statement to Forbes, saying the state bar had “diminished itself.” “It’s beyond ironic, and it should concern every practicing lawyer because now any lawyer can be subjected to the extraordinary harassment and expense of lawfare directed specifically at his or her law license whenever the other side disagrees with a filing. Under the State Bar of Texas’ rules, potential punishments range from disbarment and Powell permanently losing her law license to less serious consequences, including being temporarily suspended from practicing law, being put on probation or receiving a public reprimand.
The state bar has asked the court to “impose an appropriate sanction” against Powell if she’s found to have committed professional misconduct, but it’s still unclear what that would be. A trial determining whether Powell should be punished is scheduled to take place starting October 17, according to the case’s court docket.
