That lawyer, Sidney Powell, has gained notoriety in recent weeks for spreading conspiracy theories about voting machines being rigged for President-elect Joe Biden, for filing legal documents riddled with basic errors, and for being suddenly removed from the Trump campaign legal team. By appointing Powell a special counsel, Trump would be elevating her false claims, giving already disproven attacks on the presidential election a misleading patina of legitimacy. According to Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Trump held a meeting at the White House on Friday to weigh whether to name Powell as a special counsel to investigate his repeatedly debunked claims of mass voter fraud in last month’s presidential election. The meeting was reportedly full of current and former Trump allies, including the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Powell, national security adviser Robert O’Brien, and O’Brien’s predecessor, former national security adviser Michael Flynn. (Powell has been deeply involved, along with Rudee Rudee Rudee, in many of the cases the Trump Team has lost in attempting to bull**** the election loss into a win. She has a lot of really bizarre beliefs.) "The meeting was reportedly..." Well, that makes it factual enough for you and Wayne, eh? === John, you're welcome to believe what you want even if it was first reported by some half baked conspiracy theorist. Of course I'm sure you realize that no one in Trump's inner circle is willing to go on record and be quoted by name unless they already have another job lined up. If she'd said, "According to a White House official who will remain unnamed..." I might give the story a bit more credibility. Please don't try to tell me that's not possible either. The word 'reportedly' gets thrown around way too much, especially by the NYT, WAPO, LAT, CNN, et al. But, don't let me cause you to doubt anything you read or hear from them. === How's this: "According to several attendees at Trump's staff meeting who will remain unnamed..." It has been verified by several people who were there. But like I said, you are free to believe what you want. If that's true, then it should have been so stated. === It's definitely true. Here's a guy who was there and willing to go on record: Patrick Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock, tweeted that he was part of the long White House session with Flynn and Powell, says that Trump is being lied to by his own advisers and that his buddy can still win the election he so clearly lost. “It is 100% winnable. No martial law required,” he tweeted. “Sydney and Flynn presented a course that I estimate has 50%-75% chance of victory. His staff just try to convince him to do nothing but accept it. As a CEO, my heart broke to see what he is going through. He is betrayed from within.” |
