Trump Lawyers Put Their Reputations on the Line (no one has gone after Sidney Powell or Rudy Giuliani or Lin Wood)

RUSH: Tom in Winona, Missouri. Tom, it’s great that you’re here. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.

CALLER: Thanks, sir. Good afternoon. I wanted to say that I think that states with Republican-controlled legislatures should inform the president of the Senate that they’re withholding their certification of election results pending further development of the situation, because they have no intention of participating in a proceeding that’s going to ratify a fraud, and that if this election is gonna be a Third World farce, then it ought to be a complete one with 100% vote for the winner.

RUSH: You know, I love that idea. If we’re gonna do this — if we’re gonna bastardize this election, if we’re gonna turn this country into a Third World, tinhorn dictatorship — let’s go all the way, and let’s make sure Biden gets 100% of the vote.

RUSH: Bah! Bah! Bah! I’m host. I got limited time. Want to ask you a question, okay?

RUSH: Do you believe Sidney Powell, you believe Lin Wood, do you believe these people telling us what they’ve found and what they’ve got, evidence-wise? Do you believe it?

RUSH: I’m just trying to gather the way people think. There’s no right or wrong answer here. I’m just curious how you think. Why? Do you know Sidney Powell? Do you know her personally? Can you vouch for her?

RUSH: But yet you still believe what she is claiming. There’s gotta be a reason for it.

CALLER: The statistical anomalies that have been brought up, like the fact that — something brought up, I think — he didn’t do as well, Biden didn’t do as well Hillary or Barack Hussein —

CALLER: — or Chicago, and yet he did way better than they did in the states where the results are under dispute. All the unprecedented practice of stopping counting only in six states, all of them controlled by Democrats, all that Trump had to win.

RUSH: My wife, Kathryn, and I have been asking ourselves. That’s what we always go back to (there’s other things too): Why would you stop counting?

RUSH: I still like the idea we got from our caller in the last hour that, “Hey, if we’re gonna behave like a banana republic, let’s go all the way. Let’s just find a way to get Joe Biden 100% of the vote. Think of it. What a way to start out relationships with Venezuela, with the ChiComs, with Putin and the Castros (what’s left of ’em) down in Cuba.” What a grand idea!

We may just go all in. If we’re gonna have… Folks, he was serious about this. If we’re gonna have an election that is as bastardized as this one was, if we’re gonna stop the counting — (chuckling) there’s no reason to stop the counting — in Biden districts, in Biden states… If we’re gonna stop the counting, why? ‘Cause they needed take time to find out where they needed additional votes.

If we’re gonna do this, if we’re gonna insult and bastardize the American electoral process, let’s go all the way. Let’s just make sure that Joe Biden gets 100%, maybe 99%. We’ll allow that. To show that we’re not an autocratic, authoritative tyranny, we would allow that 1% did not vote for Biden. But I still like 100%. I think that’d be great.

I have a couple of stories here. I, frankly, did not lead with this today because I was trying to combine two birds with one stone. I figured that — and maybe I misjudged how important this is. I figured there would be phone calls out the wazoo on Sidney Powell and Lin Wood and Rudy and this entire effort that they have underway or that they have begun where they are claiming irrefutable evidence.

I thought you guys would be so wired out there that you’d be melting the phone lines talking about this. I figure you may have already done it with previous hosts, the guest hosts, like with Steyn yesterday. I didn’t think about that. But then again, I stopped and thought, “But you still haven’t talked about it with me.” So that’s what we’re gonna do now, and I’ve got a couple of stories that I want to use as guideposts, guardrails, guiding lights to get this started.

One of them is a — and they’re stories that have good summaries of where we are, what has happened at the moment. One of them is by John Nolte at Breitbart. “Sidney Powell and Lin Wood Promise That There is a Ton of Voter Fraud.” I’ve been following this even though I’ve been away, and I probably have the same questions and reactions that all of you have.

I know Sidney Powell. I don’t know her personally, but I know her. I have spoken to her on the phone. She has been interviewed by me on this program. She has an impeccable, unchallengeable record in books that she has written criticizing the fairness (or lack of it) at the Department of Justice. Impeccable. She has not been challenged in one thing that she’s written in that book.

That book, Amazon would not even carry it, Amazon would not even list it, and that’s when I got really curious. “What are they so afraid of? What’s everybody so worried about here?” So I went out, I got a copy of the book, and I read it. I was outraged. I was outraged by the page as I was reading this. It was about the same lawyers that were on the Mueller team and how they had abused Justice Department rules and guidelines.

And how they had railroaded other defendants like Ted Stevens in Alaska. How they had engaged in prosecutorial misconduct. How they had been called out by a judge — Emmet Sullivan, as it turns out. It was outrageous what these lawyers, led by Andrew Weissmann, were allowed to get away with. And she wrote about everything they did. And they never challenged her that I saw. They never sued her. They never objected.

They didn’t say a word about it. Their strategy was to ignore it and hope it goes away and hope that nobody of any consequence will read it. That was the strategy. And it is a strategy when you find yourself involved something like this, just ignore it and hope that you don’t amplify it by talking about it yourself. And I’m telling you, folks, that’s how I know Sidney Powell.

And I know Lin Wood… I don’t know him, either, and I’ve not interviewed him. But I know that he secured big money in settlement lawsuits against CNN and, I believe, the Washington Post on behalf of the Covington kids who were in fact slandered by both CNN and Washington Post — and the whole of the Drive-By Media, New York Times as well.

So the bottom line is these people — specifically Sidney Powell and Lin Wood — their work, their life’s work hasn’t been refuted. Their life’s work has not been challenged. They have not been called out. They’ve not been… Maybe they’ve been privately threatened; I don’t know. But they haven’t been publicly threatened. “You better cease and desist or else we’re gonna sue you ’til the end of your money,” whatever.

Nothing like that publicly. Now, privately there may have been attempts to intimidate. The point is, I have no reason not to believe them. None! In fact, I have every reason to believe them. Intellectually, not emotionally. I know I want what they’re saying to be true. But intellectually, I can’t come up with a reason to doubt them. What could their motivation be?

Because if it turns out that they’re making all this up, it’s over for them. They’re getting half the country riled up — or a decent percentage — on something that’s gonna be exposed as a total fraud? I can’t… There’s nothing in either person’s life’s work or track record that would indicate that this is a standard operating procedure for them. Now, that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible, ’cause people are people and they do crazy things, and they have crazy motivations.

And we can’t possibly know everything going on in these people’s lives. I’m just telling you on the surface here (even a little deeper than the surface), I cannot imagine them doing it with the specificity that they are alleging things that have happened here. So it’s just impossible to not believe this. Then start asking, “Well, okay. So what’s next? I mean, you got all these evidence.

“What are you gonna do with it? You have all this evidence. To whom are you going to present it?” Now, a lot of people think that there is conflicting information in all this and that because of the conflicting information, people don’t know what to think about the election results. I’m using the word “information” because the word “news” is now totally meaningless.

You realize there’s no news anymore, folks. As I have told you over the many broadcast years, there’s no news. There’s just a bunch of charlatans out there presenting information that has been manipulated, exaggerated, made up, what have you. Now, there are some sites also that some might say are kook sites that are also in on this.

They’re in deep on it. I say “kook sites” because you never heard of ’em and they… Well, let me retract “kook sites.” They’re just some sites you’ve never heard of and so you might say, “Okay, well, I can’t invest in something I never heard of.” Why can’t you? You realize that anybody on earth can access the internet and write something and post it there?

RUSH: By the way, the raving testimonial I gave Sidney Powell I could also give to Lin Wood, although I don’t know him, I’ve never interviewed him. But these are people that have no reputation as phonies, liars, charlatans, opportunists, none of that has ever attached to them. So when you hear these people talk about the evidence they’ve got, the ontological certitude they have over this election being stolen and fraudulent, it’s difficult, folks, to just not believe them because of who they are.

This is going to be a real test because these two people have impeccable reputations. They have as impeccable a reputation as you could hope to achieve. The only thing they’re not is liberals. If they were liberals they would be king and queen. But they’re not. They may not be conservatives. They could be Libertarians. They could be apolitical. Sidney Powell, I don’t know what her politics are. Might want to assume.

But my point is that their reputations you can’t touch. If an untouchable reputation is a goal of yours in your life, if you hope that at some point in your adult life you’ve achieved this great achievement of an impeccable reputation, these two people have done that. And it’s gonna be real interesting to see how they are dealt with. And it’s going to be interesting to see just how valuable in 2020 and 2021 an impeccable reputation is.

I can speak for myself in saying growing up, in our family, an impeccable reputation was regarded as something special, was regarded as something to pursue. It was thought taught to us as something very difficult to achieve. That it required constant and vigilant attention and effort to everything you did, and especially the way you treat other people.

My dad said to me, “If you want to really determine the character of somebody, watch how they treat people who can’t do anything for them.” And, boy, has that been proven true. But here we have these two people, impeccable, impeccable reputations. That alone should make them believable. But will it? Do reputations really count for more than a political ideology in 2020?

CALLER: Thank you for having me on. Listen. I was listening to your show and you were talking about Lin Wood and Sidney Powell. In Georgia where I live, Lin Wood has filed a lawsuit here for the election that just occurred. And I don’t know whether it has any merit or not. However, I was kind of outraged that, number one, Georgia went Democratic. I’m shocked.

Number two, I just don’t know don’t know — he talked about Lin Wood, when he was discussing this on somebody’s show, and he called Governor Kemp corrupt along with our secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, and I’ve never found anything to be corrupt with Governor Kemp or the secretary of state. They’re both Republican. But I wanted to get your take on what you thought the merits of this case here in Georgia and whether we might see some results that are actually accurate? I’ve lost all faith and confidence in our voting system.

RUSH: I think a lot of people have lost faith in the electoral system, starting back in 2016. Do you realize — I’m not trying to change the subject on you — but you realize, in 2016 the Democrat Party began a process that was part of their political objective of overturning the presidential election, overturning the results of 2016. To do that, they had to convince people that the election was stolen, that it was fraudulent, that Donald Trump stole the election by working with Russians, and they spent four years pounding it into people’s heads.

And 35% to 40% of country believed it, Democrat voters, to this day believe it. That’s a stunning thing. And they did it on purpose. And it sets up, unbeknownst to them, it sets up all these challenges to the election that they won, that they think they won with Biden. It’s the Democrat Party who verified, validated the whole concept that elections are not honest and that they’re easy to steal. The Democrat Party did this. Four years, day-to-day pounding, New York Times, Washington Post, CNN. So now here they are crying and whining. When they win an election, it’s all aboveboard and up and up.

As to the specifics of what happened in Georgia, I’m like you. I was stunned at some of the results. In Georgia now Andrew Yang and a bunch of other Democrats — you tell me this isn’t election fraud — they’re urging Democrats from all over the country to move to Georgia to flood the state with new Democrats to vote in the runoff elections in January and then to move back home after the election in January. You tell me that that’s something that’s aboveboard.

RUSH: Okay. Here is John Nolte and his piece at Breitbart on Sidney Powell and Lin Wood. This is a serious woman. There’s no circus atmosphere around her, and she is pledging as she did over the weekend on Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures — which I made it a point to watch last night. I missed it. Kathryn said, “You need to watch it ’cause it’s awesome. It’ll be great show prep.” I just missed it, and it was.

Sidney Powell was awesome on it. Let me tell you what a pro Sidney Powell is. This is something I have not mastered even myself, and I am a highly trained broadcast specialist. Next time you watch Sidney Powell (but now you’re gonna be watching for everybody), watch her head. It doesn’t move. It’s one of the central training tidbits of television. If you want to be heard, if you want to be listened to while you’re on TV, which is a visual medium…

You’re gonna have a tough time being heard anyway, ’cause the sense of sight overpowers the sense of hearing every day. So you’re gonna have to be as little a distraction as you can be, and among those things is: Do not move your head. Do not bob up and down. Do not shake your head side to side. Do not move! It’s really hard not to do it. You have to consciously think to yourself, “Don’t move. Don’t move your head.”

I have a habit of using my energy in physical ways. I have a habit of bouncing. I bop up and down in the chair when I’m excited like I’m doing now; people on Dittocam can see it. That is a very distracting thing to do. It’s one of the reasons I started a line of ties. Ahem. You know, if you have a face like mine, sometimes you want people not to see it, so you put on a very colorful tie, and it can serve that purpose.

I’m just kidding. No, but that really is true, and the worst thing you can do on TV is to distract people when you’re talking. If you want to be heard on one of these cable shows, do not move. She has mastered it. She doesn’t move. Her head does not move. She can be speaking for three minutes straight; her head will not move. You do not know how hard that is.

Some people, it’s just an instinctive talent that they’ve got. Other people have to be taught it and have to rehearse it and so forth — and other people, you’ll notice, either they haven’t been taught or they can’t do it because they move an incredible amount. But she doesn’t. The point is, she cuts through any distraction.

And she made it clear on Maria Bartiromo’s show that they’ve got the goods, that they can prove there was enough voter fraud to overturn Biden’s lead! “There has been a massive and coordinated effort to steal this election from we, the people of the United States, to delegitimize and destroy votes for Donald Trump, to manufacture votes for Joe Biden,” she said.

“They have done it in every way imaginable from having dead people vote in massive numbers to absolutely fraudulent creating ballots that exist only voting for Biden. They also used an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip. They used computers to flip those votes from Trump to Biden. We have identified,” she added, “at least 450,000 ballots in the key states that miraculously only have a mark for Joe Biden on them and no other candidate.”

No other down-ballot candidate gets a vote on 450,000 ballots for Joe Biden. She said, “They had all of this planed, Maria [Bartiromo]. They had the algorithms. They had the paper ballots waiting to be inserted if and when needed — and notably, President Trump’s vote in the blue states went up enormously. That’s when they had to stop the vote count.” When Trump’s lead… He had an 800,000-vote lead in Pennsylvania, folks — an 800,000-vote lead!

If you have an 800,000-vote lead in Pennsylvania, you’ve got to be scoring big in Philadelphia. So she says that when Trump’s vote in the blue states went up enormously, that’s when they had to stop the vote count. They had to go in and replace votes for Biden and take away votes for Trump. Then there’s Lin Wood, a Georgia-based attorney most famous for successfully suing the fake media behalf Richard Jewell in the 1990s.

Do you remember that? Lin Wood defended Richard Jewell. Richard Jewell was named by MSNBC as the bomber in Olympic plaza in Atlanta 1996 when the Olympics were being held there. Some bomber started going nuts. Richard Jewell didn’t do it. He ran around proclaiming his innocence. He ran around claiming he didn’t do it, professing and all of this that he didn’t do it, nobody would listen to him.

NBC would not retract the story. And, by the way, the rest of the media picked it up on the strength of the NBC story. Lin Wood won a huge settlement with NBC for Richard Jewell and on behalf of the Covington kids, the Covington Catholic high school student Nick Sandmann just last year. Lin Wood is also a part of this with Sidney Powell, is asking for patience. But he is outright promising, quote, “I have seen overwhelming evidence that massive fraud was in the computer voting system in addition to the mail ballots.”

So you have in the center of this circus two attorneys who have spent decades building up reputations for honesty and integrity for not being a part of the circus. They say they have the evidence. And that’s what people are keeping their eye on, and they’re doing it because they can’t find any evidence that Sidney Powell or Lin Wood have ever engaged in massive — this would be a massive attempt at fraud, a massive lie. There’s no evidence.

It’s like I told you, folks, it’s gonna be really fascinating to see just how valuable an impeccable reputation is for a person in 2020 and 2021. Sidney Powell and Lin Wood have spent their lives accumulating fabulous reputations, unassailable. I don’t know about you, but my family told me that there’s nothing but your reputation. Now, a lot of families didn’t believe that. It’s not a universal value, because some families are criminals, for example. And some families are odd in other ways. Not everybody believes the same thing. But in make America great again land, in MAGA land, having a reputation, something they can’t wait away from you.

We’re gonna find out how valuable it really is. Is an impeccable reputation more valuable, say, than your political ideology? Is it more important than being a liberal? I will guarantee you no because liberals do not have impeccable, unassailable reputations. Some of them do, but they exist in a world of fraud when it comes to votes. So here you have Sidney Powell and Lin Wood.

Now, the next story that I wanted to get into with you here, as I mentioned, was David Catron, American Spectator. Headline: “What We Must Believe to Believe Biden Won.” Let me give you some pull quotes first. Mr. Catron writes, “The Democrats knew they couldn’t beat Trump honestly, so they’re stealing the election. In the end, to accept Joe Biden as our legitimate Chief Executive, we must believe the voters hammered the Democrats in congressional, state, and local elections.”

I mean, down the ballot voters voted against Democrats in the most unexpected ways. Remember, the Democrats expected to take the Senate, and they may yet steal it. They expected to build up their advantage in the House, expected to take the White House. They never, never expected to lose down the ballot like they did, but they did. Mr. Catron’s point is, we gotta accept the fact that Biden was the only Democrat that the voters wanted to vote for, really.

That voters made a conscious effort when they voted to vote against Democrats in congressional, state, and local elections, but they made sure to vote for Bite Me in the presidential race. We also must believe that Joe Bite Me “dramatically underperformed among minority voters, yet received 10 million more votes than Barack Obama. We must believe that virtually all of the reliable election bellwethers were wrong.” I’ll explain that later. There are 19 counties that are bellwether counties that have never missed. If you get these 19 voting for you, you win. And that didn’t happen this time around. That’s the short version of the story.

“We must believe that all of the elections in the swing states were conducted honestly and that the Venezuelan software used to tabulate the votes was secure.” Do you know that the software used to count the votes is from Venezuela, that is a company started by Hugo Chavez, who was in the business of rigging elections for himself and his party. Dominion software. Sidney Powell has the goods on this bunch.

As Mr. Catron writes, “Joe Biden may be inaugurated in January, but he certainly wasn’t elected president.” There’s just too much that didn’t happen, and there’s too much that did happen that defies belief. It doesn’t make any sense.

CALLER: It’s a real thrill to talk with you, and I have to tell you, God bless you. You have more people rooting for you than you can ever believe.

CALLER: I wanted to know if you had an opportunity to look at some video put together by a guy by the name of — I think his name Steve Cortes, Cortes, C-o-r-t-e-s.

RUSH: I have heard of the name of Steve Cortes. I think I’ve seen him on cable TV. I don’t know of any specific video you’re talking about, though.

CALLER: Yeah, take a look when you have a chance. He put together four clips that consist of a lot of the circumstantial evidence that you’ve been talking about in terms of statistics regarding what Sidney Powell has talked about and Lin Wood. And I have to tell you, you know, when it comes to overturning the results, quote, end quote, it’s gonna take more than circumstantial evidence and statistics to do it. It’s gonna take some direct evidence. And I hope Sidney Powell has it, I hope Lin Wood has it —

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that Cortes is warning people not to accept what Sidney Powell and Lin Wood have ’cause it’s not enough?

CALLER: Oh, not at all. That’s my opinion. I think when it comes to overturning these reported results, it’s gonna take more than just statistics and circumstantial evidence —

RUSH: Well, obviously. They’re gonna have to show the goods. They’re gonna have to produce this evidence somewhere. That’s what everybody’s saying, how they gonna do it, when they gonna do, where is it? And when people start talking about that, that’s when people start saying, “I can’t believe they’d make it up. They just don’t have those kinds of reputations.” They can’t believe they’d make it up, so where is it?

CALLER: You know, when you listen to Steve Cortes he talks, for example, about the fact that in — I think it’s Milwaukee County, when you compare that county’s turnout to like Cleveland, Ohio, there’s something like 20 or 30 percentage point difference between the turnout. And it’s so high, in Australia, for example, voting is mandatory, you must vote, it’s the law. They get 92%. I think Milwaukee was upwards of 90%.

RUSH: It wasn’t the only place. In Detroit, in Michigan, there were places — I know about Milwaukie. I have not seen the Steve Cortes video, but I know about Milwaukie. And there are other examples where there was massive turnout, there were more people who voted than people registered to vote in many counties, many precincts.

Look. I’m sorry I know all of this without having watched the Steve Cortes video. I don’t mean to be insulting there. But, yeah, these things are widely known. But I want to get into it because Rudy this morning explained how they’re gonna do this with the evidence. I’m not even gonna give you a heads-up of what he says. I’ll just play you the sound bite when we get back from this big break here at the bottom of the hour.

RUSH: Rudy was on Fox Business today, Mornings with Maria Bartiromo, and she said, “Tell me. What’s happening in Pennsylvania today?”

GIULIANI: We’re prepared to call witnesses to demonstrate that somewhere around 700,000 ballots were counted in secret. The Republican watchers were literally kept in corrals. They were then locked out. Some of them were actually roughed up a little bit. Today is to really argue the legal part of the case — and, frankly, this is a case that we would like to see get to the Supreme Court.

So, you know, we’re prepared in some of these cases to lose and to appeal and to get at the Supreme Court. The most important thing is this will now be our first established vehicle on our way to the Supreme Court — or, I should say, exactly the second. The one in Michigan, even though the certification went ahead, that case is also another vehicle to go to the Supreme Court. So now we have two. Shortly the we’ll have Wisconsin and soon Georgia.

RUSH: By “vehicle,” he doesn’t mean truck to take all this evidence in. Some people thought that’s what Rudy meant by “vehicle,” that they were gonna load all the evidence Sidney Powell has in a vehicle, a truck, a flatbed, and take it up to the Supreme Court. That’s not what he means.

It means that they’ve got a number of legal routes and options to take to present the evidence and they’re going to. There’s one more Rudy bite here with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox Business Network. Question: “What are you finding so far? What do you think went on here?”

GIULIANI: The meat of the case and the one that’s common really in 10 cities, is that they stopped Republican watchers, inspectors to perform the actual vital function of observing the opening of the mail ballot. If you don’t observe the opening of the mail ballot, it is lost forever, because the only thing that identifies it is the signature on the outer envelope.

When you certify that signature, you separate the outer envelope from the ballot. The ballot’s anonymous. You can never connect them again. The only remedy the court has is to just cancel out those votes, which they’ve done in Pennsylvania in the Ross case. Pennsylvania has, in fact, reversed an election based on absentee irregularities.

BARTIROMO: Do you have you have enough evidence to overturn the results of this election?

GIULIANI: I believe we have amassed more than enough evidence in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin and Georgia. I believe we’re very close in Nevada.

RUSH: Now, how do you ignore that? Rudy’s reputation is… I mean, here’s the former… He’s Mr. Mayor. He’s the anti-squeegee guy, cleaned up New York City, held it together after 9/11. Borat makes fun of him, or Borat, whatever the name is. There’s a lot of things here that have added to Rudy’s reputation — and he’s claiming they’ve got evidence out the wazoo here.

What are we supposed to do with it? Is it the rational reaction to be, “Ah, Rudy’s a kook! He’s lying to us. It can’t possibly be the case.” It’s really… I don’t know. It’s a very interesting and challenging set of circumstances here that I think is governed by the fact that most of us think something went on. None of this makes any sense, that we flip all of these seats in the House in a year the Democrats thought they were gonna be adding to their majority?

We hold the Senate. They were deathly afraid of losing it. The Republicans were deathly afraid of losing it; the Democrats were gonna win it. The only Democrat who got any votes is Joe Biden, after they stopped the counting and bring in this software from this Venezuelan company. We don’t… (sigh) We just think something went on here.

We’re pretty confident something went abnormally. It’s not that we’re grasping at straws. We’ve got people telling us that there are definite straws to grasp, and that they’re not straws, that they’re very solid. Here. Let’s listen to Sidney Powell. She was on Maria Bartiromo Sunday Morning Futures on the Fox News Channel. I have a couple of sound bites here. Question: “You say you have enough evidence of fraud to launch a massive criminal investigation.”

POWELL: We’re fixing to overturn the results of the election in multiple states, and President Trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes, but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose. We have sworn witness testimony why the software was designed. It was designed to rig elections. It was exported internationally for profit by the people that are behind Smartmatic and Dominion. We have so much evidence, I feel like it’s coming in through a fire hose.

RUSH: Now, that is… Folks, this is not insignificant, and you’ll note that the people on the left — the Democrats, the media — are not going after this woman. Have you seen…? Has anybody gone after Sidney Powell? I’ve not seen her. Nobody’s gone after her. (sigh) I think they’re of the belief that this is all gonna go away if they just… (interruption) “Baseless allegations and we hope these people come to senses at some point and so forth.”

But the way they’re dealing with it now is just treated as though, “Ah, look. The kids are playing out in the sandbox and they just broke a window. Okay, well, we’ll fix it later.” But they are not going after her. Normally they would be going after the person alleging this stuff. That’s how they do it. The left destroys people who make allegations that are real and could hurt them.

But they’re not doing that with Sidney Powell and they’re not doing it with Lin Wood, and they’re not doing it with Rudy. I think there’s a reason. They can’t! These people have unassailable reputations. That’s the big conundrum here, folks. Here’s the next sound bite with Sidney Powell. The question from Maria Bartiromo: “Do you have the software…?” Oh. Let me explain something. She mentioned Smartmatic and Dominion.

Dominion is the software company out of Venezuela. Smartmatic is a piece of software that does all the conniving, and they’re both manufactured by the same outfit, and they both have the same purpose — to rig elections — and they are used in conjunction with one another. So Maria Bartiromo: “Do you have the software in your possession? Do you have the hardware in your possession? How are you gonna prove this, Sidney?”

POWELL: I never say anything I can’t prove. Secondly, the evidence is coming in so fast, I can’t even process it all. It’s really an insidious, corrupt system, and I can’t tell you how livid I am with our government for not paying attention to complaints even brought by Democrats. Nobody in our government has paid any attention to it, which makes me wonder how much the CIA has used it for its own benefit in different places and why Gina Haspel is still there in the CIA is beyond my comprehension. She should be fired immediately.

RUSH: Well, Trump hired here. Gina Haspel in there to replace — I forgot who got canned or who quit. They made a big deal out of her being the first female director of the CIA and all of that. But what she’s talking about — this software would have been in the possession — CIA knows about this. Her point is the CIA could be using it to rig elections in nations who are enemies of ours, who we want to screw with and foil. And she’s saying that this is entirely possible.

But listen to her. “The evidence is coming in so fast I can’t process it all. It’s an insidious, corrupt system. I can’t tell you how livid I am with our government for not paying attention to it.”

Each and Every R legislature already said they will do no such thing.

Isn’t it great having Rs control things because it helps us so much.

That was sarcasm but I’m guessing everyone knows that

These fine attorneys either own their firms or have such power over them that they can accept or reject whatever cases they want.

The problem for other attorneys is that they work at firms that have multiple partners and many clients who do not want to be associated with Trump, one way or the other. These attorneys doubtless were told that if they wanted to keep Trump as a client, they would have to leave the firm. This was doubtless a “deal breaker” for these attorneys

They have convincing statistical evidence crimes were committed.

No election has been overturned on statistical evidence alone. It’s maybe never been admitted as evidence in the past. And we don’t want judges that would do so.

I doubt Trump appointed even one.

But it should be adequate predicate for investigation and the subpoena of all the database servers (public property!) log files and back-ups.

WHY IS THIS NOT HAPPENING?

Each and Every R legislature already said they will do no such thing.

I hadn't heard that. If so, we're toast because the courts won't/can't make right that much fraud.

BTW, did your House district flip D-> R?

YES!

I HATED good ole max.

But R reps from staten island have to be watched closely.

The Molinaris disappointed me greatly in the long run.

I guess ALL R reps have to be watched closely.

But honest? It’s a hollow victory if Trump doesn’t get the nod.

A POTUS nowadays has Tremendous power. Those EOs are brutal.

And it’s a coup.

Hard to be happy about other wins when one of your country’s parties just pulled off a successful coup.

Let’s pray it’s not successful.

There were 25 lawyers who signed the Declaration of Independence. There were 32 lawyers who framed the Constitution.

Good thing these lawyers in the 1700s held their principles higher than their social standing and vowed that they would give their lives for the country. Now all we have pussies, pretty much.

“Each and Every R legislature already said they will do no such thing.”

And yet the Dems would do it in a walk if the situation were reversed.

The time is fast approaching that we deal with these people as such people must always be dealt with...no way around it...

I have unconsciously noticed that tactic of holding one’s head still while speaking on TV - I noticed myself paying more attention to those people and asked myself why.
They are simply taken more seriously the fewer distractions there are, such as movements, tics, visible emotions, talking with hands, etc.
It’s something I could not do - I agree with Rush it’s training and discipline on air.

“But even they are having their infighting what with the “squad” turning off 70 percent of America“

It may be wishful thinking, but I think there are tens of millions of well-meaning but brainwashed Democrats - they are basically decent people who have simply watched the wrong “news” channels - and let themselves be badly deceived all their lives. They think the Democrat politicians are the good guys.

Here is the wishful thinking part - if these people are decent people at heart - but are simply deceived - might there not be a point where an election fraud is so scandalous and disgraceful that it would achieve critical mass? Couldn’t we possibly see a fair amount of brainwashed but otherwise decent Democrat voters reach a point where they turn away from the lying media and Democrat leaders in disgust?

If the Kraken is big enough, we could see a huge sea change in public perception that transcends the fake news, the deep state, and the corrupt DNC party leadership.

If that happens - the Republican led legislatures will quickly fall in line with public opinion and re-elect President Trump in an EC landslide.

A lot of those folks are older...maybe even the majority is over 65.

The crowds that still watch and believe msm.

Also there are older folks..in the 80s, who just still vote dem because it’s what they’ve always known.

My parents..their Italian generation are (were) very conservative.

But my grandparents voted democrat. They are long gone but many aren’t.

But one’s eyes can be opened at any age and if this fraud thing reaches critical mass...we may see happen what you suspect could happen
