Trump campaign cuts Sidney Powell from president’s legal team

Quote:

President Donald Trump appears to have cut ties with Sidney Powell, a key member of his legal team who also represents former national security adviser Michael Flynn in his long-running attempt to unravel a guilty plea for lying about his 2016 contacts with Russia.

The abrupt shake-up came in a terse Sunday-evening statement from the Trump campaign that offered no explanation for Powell’s removal.

“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own,” Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and campaign lawyer 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.”

Powell had made headlines in recent weeks for her increasingly outrageous and unsupported claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, repeatedly vowing to “release the kraken” of evidence, only to refuse to produce it when asked by reporters.

Exactly, they don't what to read the stats because they know they show no fraud. There is nothing different from any of the stats and would be expected in any election. This has been agreed to by both Dems and Repubs. It is what was expected and there isn't any chance that the election results can be overturned. Besides, evidence must be proved by the accuser, not the accused; primary basis of democratic law!

So, why did Trump and Giuliani fire her, when she was a key part of their legal team, especially now when time is running out and they need all the help they can get?

From what I gather, apparently she was let go due to her comments about claiming Republican Governor Kemp rigged the election against Trump.

If the last 4 years has proved anything, it's that the US is barely stable. Trump may have made hate and racism socially acceptable, but it was obviously always bubbling just under the surface, looking for an escape.

Recent events have proved that your democracy is barely holding on. You're right now within a whisker of a fascist dictatorship.

You clearly haven't been in touch with america for at least four years.

I agree. It kind of hurts to hear it.

is pinkie gossiping?

Meanwhile, the countdown continues.

We're in no hurry.
