Mystery solved. The fake Sydney Powell Telegram channel (https://t.me/AttorneySidneyP0well) forwarded remarks from a fake Trey Gowdy channel - which is described as a fan page, so it is not an official Gowdy communication. I suspect the Ted Cruz forwards are also forwarded from a fake account/fan page.
It appears that there are more fake accounts than real ones on Telegraph and it’s a real challenge to keep up. I’d caution all FreeQs to be aware of this when posting from Telegram and to make sure that what is being shared is actually from the person you think it is from and that the information isn’t just hype and hysteria.
Here is the fan page for Trey Gowdy - note the extra Y
Description: Trey Gowdy fan page. Uncensored truth for all Trump supporters and patriots who always fight for the truth! All fans of freedom of speech and Trey Gowdy, hop in!
If there is a green check next to the name it is the authentic channel of the person!!!
Good work!
