Making sense of the news about Sidney Powell

November 23, 2020 Making sense of the news about Sidney Powell By Andrea Widburg

You probably already know that Trump's legal team announced that Sidney Powell is not a team member. The brief statement leaves unanswered the most important question: "Why?" Absent solid information, speculation leads us either to "This is the beginning of the end" or "This is all part of the plan" — and I'm leaning to the latter.

Events happened with head-spinning speed. On Thursday, Trump's legal team held a press conference. Rudy Giuliani talked about traditional voter fraud (cemetery voters, faked ballots, etc.); Sidney Powell talked about corrupt, or corruptible, election software, a familiar topic to the State of Texas, NPR, and MSNBC; and Jenna Ellison reminded the press that the conference was not an evidentiary hearing but was, instead, an opening statement.

For over a week, Powell has been making the media rounds, asserting that the system used in several states — Dominion Software, running on Smartmatic machines — originated in Venezuela when Hugo Chávez wanted a system that could cleanly swing elections his way. She spoke about votes being counted abroad, software changes, and vote manipulation over the internet.

While her numbers were breathtaking (Trump "had at least 80 million votes"), Powell's stated facts tracked available information: Smartmatic came out of Venezuela; in 2007, Smartmatic announced that it was selling its Sequoia Voting Systems to Dominion; the chairman of Smartmatic's board is a George Soros crony; the system is easily hackable; Georgia's system was vulnerable; and the data coming out of the swing states shows anomalies that cannot occur naturally. (You can see all the known evidence here.) These facts made Powell's contentions sound credible.

Actually, I think this announcement just frees Sidney up to say what she wants and not have to worry about how it reflects on the Trump people. She may be going at this corruption from a different angle - God bless her in her effort for save the country.

All Quiet on the Western Front. The only thing that matters is what they do today. I don’t care about anything else.

A Communist conspiracy to help a Democrat win the White House would not be something new. After all, we’ve been through this before with Bill Clinton and ChinaGate, and almost certainly with many other Dems where the evidence wasn’t as crystal clear.

American’s heads are spinning. People (and I mean me) can grasp relatively simple, and obvious, things like unclean voter rolls, mail-in ballot fraud, dead-people voting, signatures not matching on mail-in ballots, and inexplicable, massive late-night surges for Biden in a few key areas. These can be proven with election audits - for which there are established procedures.

Heading off into analysis of Dominion voting software, and its connections with Hugo Chavez, China, George Soros are possible, and very interesting - but the clock is ticking. Due to leftist battling at every step, It took us 3 years to confirm that the Steele Dossier was a Clinton-team plant, pushed by a corrupt FBI leadership. Are we going to get to the bottom of Dominion voting systems in the next 3 weeks when the stakes are even higher? doubtful.

Agree with the following qualifications

She appeared with the “others” art the press conference so the “PR optics” say she is on the Trump Team ! Whatever she says or does will effect them & vice versa.

Also her being “separate” gives he the opportunity to continue the fight even if Trump loses. Though I don’t see how she does it in federal court no federal prosecutor will be allowed to take up the case. I suppose she could continue a sort of legal “guerilla war” through state criminal and civil courts.

Many Republicans either know a lot, or think they know a lot, or want us to think they know a lot. My hope is that they know a lot but I I haven’t seen a lot over the course of a lot of years to convince me that a lot of the demonrat perpetrators will suffer a lot...OR AT ALL :)

Pretty straight forward....

She’s been operating for a common cause but independently......

The Trump legal team made a mistake by having her appear in an official press conference with them. They needed to correct that. Otherwise, the other side would demand the cases be linked.

By keeping them separate, they can represent two different entities in the courts....The People and President Trump!

Wow! There’s a lot in that.

In 200+ years we have grown a SWAMP. We have created a political class of political animals. Biden’s 47 years and 10% is their aspiration.

Trump had to settle for 4 years of meaningful action outside of the SWAMP. Now, it’s going to make sure he dies.

I think this is related to the CIA. Sidney called out Gina Haskell and the FBI the other day. So I guessing Sidney is squeezing from the outside while Trump is working it from the inside.

She called out Krebs and he got “fired”. Her fighting independently is a strategic decision and the correct one, win or lose.

My bet is that some “Republican”/never-Trumpers/GOPe/RINO’s are actively INVOLVED in the Democrats illegal vote fixing scheme.

I hope she nails them ALL to the wall.

DC started as a swamp. Not much surprise that it has reverted to a “swamp”.

War Room says Sidney is a warhorse out to expose and dismantle the Deep State.

Pray for her.
