Powell says White House aides won't let her help Trump
thehill.com ^ | 12/24/20 | JOHN BOWDEN

Pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell said Thursday that the president's aides are preventing her from being in contact with President Trump and coordinating his efforts to overturn election results in battleground states around the country.

In an interview with Zenger News, Powell said she had heard only radio silence from the White House following her meeting with the president in the Oval Office on Friday, seemingly confirming that she was unable to speak to Trump when she visited the White House on Sunday.

"I've been blocked from speaking to or communicating with the president since I left the Oval Office on Friday night," Powell told Zenger's David Martsoko, "by apparently everyone around him."

The CEO of overstock has been making the rounds last couple days talking about the meeting. He was there. White house legal staff is definitely blocking everything and trying to convince him to concede.
There is nothing going on behind the scenes because white house staff is blocking everything.

“yea, I expected it. if she has evidence then release it—don’t wait on the wh to let her in the door.”

What really weakens Kracklin Rose’s case is that she got in the door in the first place. How did that happen if the big, bad, legal-wolves, won’t let Trump do what he wants?

This syncs exactly with what Patrick Byrne — the Overstock.com guy — has said about the marathon meeting he and Powell had with Pres. Trump. Byrne said it was clear Trump was being undermined and disobeyed by his truckling aides; they poured cold water on every suggestion that wasn’t capitulation. Powell was to be made a Special Prosecutor, but when she returned the next day for the necessary paperwork, office space, etc., staffers began backpedaling and stalling and finally denied her access to the White House. Trump is very ill-served. It’s truly remarkable he’s achieved anything at all. The entire Swamp — both parties and the China Party — is doing everything in its power to shake him off and get back to business as usual.

I was assured by at least two people here that Powell was not being blocked when I said she was...so uh....I guess that article is a lie since they blasted me and said that I was wrong.

Or

Maybe I was right

Several media outlets have referenced a statement that she provided them

Btw, once again I will say

This is 2020. Trump can pick up a phone if he desires and talk to Powell.

He can give her access to the WH to meet with him if he desires

Bannon claims the fact that she brought a psychopath to the WH blew it all up. He didnt name the psychopath

Not buying it. If he wants to talk to her then he will. I am sure she has his number and unless there was a falling out then I am sure things are fine. She said she had all this evidence. Has anyone seen it yet. We all know the election was a fraud and cheat. They made up about 12 or 13 million votes. We need to over turn this. Maybe Trump has the evidence.

This is just classic good cop, bad cop.

There are many fronts to this fight - many angles and different teams working them.

Each angle has a different set of enemies and allies.

Depending on which angle they are working, the same party may be both friend and foe - this is why you have good cop and bad cop - to keep the conflicting strategies separate.

For example, in one strategy, you may need to threaten weak Republicans like GA Governor Kemp with prison time - in other strategies you may want to make nice. There is a carrot and there is a stick - both can be effective, but not with the same person delivering them...

Thus you have a “good“ cop offering the carrot and a “bad” cop wielding the stick.

They are both on the same side, but they must pretend otherwise in order to be effective.

My take on it is a little different

I think he does lean towards Powell.

I suspect he thought about it..maybe even wanted to do it.

But his advisors advised him against it

Mark Meadows doesn’t have that power. It’s Ivanka, Kushner, and Rudy that dont want her, IMO.

Yeah, Meadows doesnt want her but that is not enough.

Bannon blames it on bringing Patrick byrne to the meeting as the cause that blew it all up. Who knows

But Trump doesnt want her at this point.

The Dominion lawsuit could also factor into it.

Scanning Sydney Powells recent Parler posts she doesn’t seem to mention it.....FWIW.

Not one suit has ever actually been heard on the merits.

Bump! The SC will be taking look shortly. I am hopeful evidence will be presented then.

Except NONE OF THAT...no matter if it is the strategy is working

You have one shot left

Arizona.

And no, Pence is not going to save the day without a State Legislature of a Court taking action.

And no, Congress objecting is not going to save the day.

We already see Mitch strong arming Tuberville

At this point, it is really about Trump seeing who was willing to fight...and bringing in the cash to take people out in 2022.

I think the lawsuit against her changed her communication a bit.

She is retweeting stuff...and she retweeted someone talking about her being blocked.

Fox News and Washington Examiner claimed she sent them a statement

I have no reason to believe both are lying.

“But Trump doesnt want her at this point.”

That was my main point...she’s making it sound as if Trump wants her, but that big, bad, staff won’t allow it.

Very well stated.

“And no, Pence is not going to save the day without a State Legislature or a Court taking action.“

That’s exactly right - except ONLY a State Legislature can decertify - even the courts can’t do anything without that.

All the courts will do is uphold the State Legislature’s right to decertify if that gets challenged. But the action to decertify must be voted on by the State Legislature of the contested state in question.

If you don’t have anything positive to say, maybe you shouldn’t say anything at all.
