Ok, what’s up with Sidney Powell?

Hopefully there’s a strategy with this...

Ramius...

I assume you are speaking of the apparent breaking of ties with Sidney Powell by the rest of the legal team for Trump?

I have no clue... but there must be a good reason that we cannot see yet.

Let’s see if this happens tomorrow in GA. Seems plausible... Might be first bite from the kraken.

Be on the watch for the two fisted slam that happens in GA courts tomorrow. Dominion cannon is loaded & will blow up in Judge Brann's court, as well as the newest findings of thousands early & absentee votes cast by voters whose registered addresses are actually POB's disguised

What if prominent Republicans get caught for this as well? She could take a lot of people down.

And yes. I know I sound like a total crackpot. I’ll just wait and see.

So far Sidney and the dream team haven’t put out much that’s gained actual traction in court, which is the only place that it really matters. I know, it’s just around the corner. Two more weeks. Whatever. Wake me when it’s over.




The democrats tried to impeach a sitting President and reject a nominee for the Supreme Court based on 2nd hand hearsay. They threw in a few biased, opinionated 'experts' with no direct knowledge.

Those 'eggheads' might be more credible.


Neither of those processes are courts of law. They are political processes.

Well, well, well. This is interesting.

https://us.yahoo.com/news/trum...owell-224736792.html

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's election campaign issued a statement on Sunday distancing itself from Sidney Powell, a lawyer who made baseless allegations of voter fraud at a campaign press conference on Thursday.

"Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own," Trump campaign lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis said in the statement. "She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity."

So no Kraken? No biblical beatdown?

Perhaps the statement is clarifying that she is separate, but still an important ally of Pres. Trump's efforts. It may be a smart strategy to not have all eggs in a single basket.

I have not heard there is any "split" or "breaking from" any efforts.

Unless I missed something.

The same thought crossed my mind. I guess time will tell.

Trump Legal Team Distances from Sidney Powell

President Donald Trump’s legal team distanced themselves from attorney Sidney Powell on Sunday evening, noting that she did not represent the president, either as part of the team or in his personal capacity.

In a statement attributed to Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, and Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis, the team said: “Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity.”

A source who spoke to Breitbart News on background suggested that the team had hoped to work with her, but that Powell’s public claims had gone beyond the scope of the evidence they had seen and believed they could prove in court.

Powell had pursued a theory that Dominion voting machines, operating with Smartmatic software, were manipulable and had been responsible for switching votes from Trump to Democratic challenger Joe Biden. She also alleged that Dominion had worked with foreign governments, including Venezuela, and produced an affidavit purporting to support that allegation.

She had not yet provided evidence that votes had actually been changed, however, and has faced increasing public criticism.

Powell, an outspoken conservative, gained wide acclaim for her representation of former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (Ret.), who withdrew his guilty plea after being prosecuted for lying to the FBI.

Flynn’s previous lawyers had negotiated a plea agreement, but after new evidence emerged of conflicts of interest at the Department of Justice (DOJ), he asked Powell to take up his defense. The DOJ is trying to drop the prosecution, but the judge in the case has not agreed.

Try as I might I can find no upside to this release by Guliani and Ellis. Looks like a fracture of some kind has taken place. Not welcome news. If this wasn't a parting of ways they would have been careful to make sure they conveyed that point. Often times it's what is not said that's important.

Think EZ_B hit upon the reason as someone mentioned on Parler as well.

Sidney Powell is Flynn's Lawyer... She can't be Trump's lawyer if Trump pardons Flynn.

They were standing shoulders to shoulders just a couple days ago at the presser, laying out their case and blasting the media, and now Powell is not part of Trump's legal team? Unless there is some great strategic angle that no one has thought about, this is beginning to look like a circus.

We will see. I'm still a fan of Sidney Powell. I think she's smart, tough, and brave. I also think she believes 100% in what she's saying.

However, I think what she is trying to prove is a world-wide conspiracy. If true, it's bigger than this single election cycle.

I think the Trump team is distancing from her for at least two reasons:
1. Sidney may be in over her head. Her allegations may be impossible to prove, especially in two weeks. The Electoral College meets Dec. 14 which is a real deadline. She doesn't have time for traditional discovery methods.
2. It's not necessary to Team Trump to prove the voting machines are manipulated. There's plenty of old-fashioned fraud and judicial rule changes taking control of the elections away from state legislatures. That's Team Trump's focus.

Sidney's funding is separate from the campaign, so they are just stating something that has probably been technically true all along. She has a funding organization called Defending The Republic.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

It's clearly welcome news by a few members of this forum. And as far as I can tell, these members only post if it is a poke in the eye to the rest of us who support Trump.

WHOA ... that is an interesting revelation. I thought I'd seen a recent photo of Powell and Giuliani at a press conference together. I thought she was part of President Trump's legal team. Even posts in this thread seem to support that. Whoa ... what part of what she says do we believe now?

I have felt for about a week that she was way too "out front" with all of her appearances on any and every outlet that would feature her. When she went on the air with Glen Beck it seemed she was really jumping the shark. Perhaps she was a diversion, meant to lead the leftist to focus on hiding the electronic evidence while the rest of the team was gathering the evidence that will actually play in this short window to block certification of votes.

Time will tell but nonetheless her behavior over the past week was odd, at least to me.

I don’t doubt international involvement, President Trump is not a globalist. He puts America # 1 and that is a no-no. He’s not bowing or “turning the other check” and for that, ( & among many other things ) I am very proud and thankful we got him.

God Bless Mr President!

Mike Flynn's brother posted on Twitter that it's a clarification of Sidney's not being compensated by the RNC. It'll all shake out in the wash soon, but it could be related to whats already been stated here.
