Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne blasted President Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows and White House lawyers in comments posted online Sunday about a meeting at the White House Friday night with Trump about the contested presidential election that Byrne attended with attorney Sydney Powell and former Trump national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (U.S. Army ret.), saying that Trump is being “betrayed from within.” Byrne also denied the reporting that a military coup or martial law were discussed.
“My involvement is I was in the room when it happened. The raised voices included my own. I can promise you: President Trump is being terribly served by his advisers. They want him to lose and are lying to him. He is surrounding by mendacious mediocrities.”..In addition, any suggestion if there was talk of a military coup or martial law is also a flat lie. 100% false. I was there for 4 1/2 hours, I heard the entire conversation, that is a 100% fabrication.”
Byrne called out White House Counsel Pat Cipollone as the leaker to the New York Times about the meeting and accused Meadows and White House staffers of lying to Trump to get him to concede, “I was there for the full 4.5 hour meeting. Claims military coup/martial law were discussed is 100% fabrication. Trump is lied to by his own advisers, who tell staff “get the president to concede“ while they stall Trump. Meadows + Lawyers Eric, Derek, GC Pat Cippollone (leaker).”
"Meadows and legal staff led by GC Cippolone reflexively shoot down every sober discussion or idea presented. Their frame of mind is automatic: “we better not try that, it may not work, it would hurt your reputation in the press…“ No kidding, they say stuff like that. Tell DJT."

Ha Ha....good luck with that.
The article said they didn’t discuss martial law. I wish they did discuss martial law. When lovely and gracious Melania Trump sent her Christmas wishes, I was just so angry that I asked her to tell her husband to trigger the insurrection act and save America.
Seen this guy interviewed a couple times, and he set off my spidey sense, as it were. I think it’s likely he’s an opportunist seeking some kind of aggrandizement.
Not inclined to give much credit to this story.
His proof is his head shot with the white house in the background? Patrick Byrne’s reliability is on par with GP.
I used to like him when he was a representative, but I’ve been less than impressed with him since he became Trump’s COS after the impeachment trial.
Pete read through ALL Byrne's latest tweets on his show. Pete then played extensive cuts of Byrne's recent interview with Alex Jones.
Byrne did not bribe Hillary; he says he helped orchestrate a sting - a bribe meeting between H. and a country that wanted to give her about $18 million to influence-peddle her, when she became POTUS. Byrne claims the FBI agents he spoke with indicated this was all being arranged by Pres. Obama, to keep H. on the short leash so he would have direct dirt on H. and she'd have to do policies he wanted like Obamacare.
Santilli claims (and Byrne said in the interview) that Byrne has 2 more major news items to drop - more about Obama, it sounds like but not 100% sure - TODAY (Monday).
I don't know WHY Byrne was helping facilitate a sting meeting with H. for Obama, that's a head scratcher. Maybe he had IRS troubles?
Don't be concerned about Trump and people in his Office 'turning' on him. Trump has a long reputation of bringing multiple viewpoints to discussions, to maximize information he needs. He then makes his own decisions. That's how I interpret this "headline."
Byrne is a very odd duck - I'd appreciate Liz's take on him and what is happening here.
No, it isn't.
This is definitely not good.
Great reporting by Kristinn though. Amazing reporting.
“My involvement is I was in the room when it happened. The raised voices included my own. I can promise you: President Trump is being terribly served by his advisers.

Maybe we can stop fantasizing about the whole Martial Law angle now. There is a possibility that this subject is being discussed in other venues with the President. I know Lt Gen (ret) Thomas McInerney (former Fox News analyst) has openly taken to the airwaves to urge the President to go that route. But it seems reports that Lt Gen Flynn's suggestion at this meeting that the military to seize voting machines were all false.
This piece was written by long time Free Republic member Kristinn Taylor. Kristinn is not only a solid human being, he puts his money where his mouth is. Over the years, he stood his ground at actual events and protests. I wouldn't dismiss this piece so easily.
Amen Maudeen.
I have seen the many threads and posts calling for invoking the Insurrection Act and martial law. My position is that we cannot secure the election (the phrase "overturning" is in error because it was stolen from the American people) using that route. I hate it, but we have to do it in the courts because it is the only way to secure legitimacy.
Perhaps God has the ace up His sleeve. IF Lin Wood's tweets and statements are correct, someone has the goods on Roberts and Breyer. IF true, and IF the evidence is presented, they should step down.
A loooongshot, but it is probably our best hope at this stage.
“Don’t be concerned about Trump and people in his Office ‘turning’ on him. Trump has a long reputation of bringing multiple viewpoints to discussions, to maximize information he needs. He then makes his own decisions. “
I agree with that. and Trump needs to hear from everyone including hanky wringing Swampmen like Cippilone.
Byrne is there because he has been hiring hackers to look at Dominion machines.
Meadows was best friends with Elijah Cummings. And I do mean they were best of friends. Swamp.
I saw that Byrne interview and hope we get another one this week.
But I disagree—Trump’s record with his close advisers in the WH is worse than that: traitor after traitor.
It has been his Achilles heel. (And now going along with and pushing the shut down and “Operation Warp” speed is his worst set of policy decisions, by far.)
Mebbe because by that admission of NOT having voted for PDJT in 2016 makes him one of the more honest at that meeting?
This is like reading a gossip column.
Speaking of which, I’ve been corresponding with a long-time FReeper from NY.
Time for a reunion? Maybe something in conjunction with the 6th?
I have to agree.
Sessions, Wray, Barr, Esper, Haspel - could Trump have picked any worse people?
And no one who is sane and thinking wants this "vaccine."
He might be that rarest of animals, a Democrat with a brain to think for themselves.
What I like to call JFK Democrats should be terrified by this vote fraud. Because while they’re comfortable with Biden, they won’t be with whoever the Globalists choose to shoot down the pike next in order to cut America down to controllable size.
The Cabal has proven that they will do whatever they want to whomever they want whenever they want.
And I believe we are both still strong supporters of Trump.
He is by far the best we have, but he is not some true-pope, infallible, second Son of God.
“Mark Meadows is not a useful ally of this White House at this time.”
At any time. It seems we all were suspicious when he was chosen by Trump.
