Giuliani Explains the Trump Campaign's Split With Sidney Powell

Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, explained why the Trump campaign released a statement on Sunday distancing itself from attorney Sidney Powell.

“I think it’s because we’re pursuing two different theories,” Giuliani told Fox Business host Lou Dobbs. “Our theory of the case to get to the Supreme Court, now in four places, and it’s soon going to be in two others, and there will be an overall lawsuit, is basically misconduct of the election by state officials in at least five or six different states in which the misconduct of the election involved deprivation of constitutional rights for the President.”

Giuliani argued there were discrepancies across states with regard to curing, for example, which allows the voter to fix their ballot over something like a missing signature so it can still be counted. The former New York City mayor said in one part of the state, a Democratic part, this was allowed, while in another, it wasn’t. He also pointed to examples of “misconduct” in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

“We have evidence,” he said. “The evidence has been presented, and the media lies that we have no evidence. They're just too lazy to read our 100 affidavits, which are on the public record, from American citizens.”

The campaign announced the split with Powell on Sunday, noting “she is practicing law on her own” and is “not a member of the Trump Legal Team.” The statement came days after Powell appeared alongside Trump campaign lawyers at a Republican National Committee press conference where she alleged massive fraud through voting systems. Dominion has disputed her claims, saying it’s “physically impossible” to switch votes in the manner she has alleged.

In response, Powell vowed to carry on her fight.

“My intent has always been to expose all the fraud I could find and let the chips fall where they may–whether it be upon Republicans or Democrats,” she said in a statement, adding that her evidence is “overwhelming” and she plans to file a lawsuit this week. “It will be epic.”

It’s about the software that produces the ballot receipt, not the hardware. Let the cases go forward before drawing a line in the sand.

Unless a quantity of faked ballots were produced and filled out, and that number of ballots matched the computer-flipped votes.

No because the scanning machines would have produced the same computer-flipped votes and then added the fake ballots. You've complicated matters. It just doesn't work.

But of course large quantities of fake ballots were supplied by Democrat operatives in the middle of the night when they ditched the observers. Just like they've always done. And the scanning machines dutifully tabulated their fraud accurately.

The Georgian casting the vote can clearly view and verify his or her ballot printed by the voting machine. There would be a huge amount of complaints if the printed ballot was switched from Trump to Biden.

There’s an increase in the tally, in an amount of time that is less than the capability of the vote-counting machine; it could not have counted that many votes in that short amount of time.

And there’s ballots with just one office voted for, that of biden for president.

My humble opinion: Powell seemed far more aggressive, and far more capable in collecting evidence of fraud, and making a clear presentation to the average viewer.

I hope she continues her work. I am very anxious to have her prove up the RINO establishment for the corrupt politicians that they are.

The prayers of a nation support our president, DJT.

In Bush v Gore the dispute was over a relatively few ballots, that might have been generously interpreted...this time it is millions of ‘manufactured’ votes.....

The intent is of an entirely different scale.

"NOTE: When the USSC ordered the Bush/Gore count to be stopped, it seemed more like the USSC’s acknowledgement of Democrats’ proclivities to count, recount, then count again, till they had the necessary votes to win."

I remember the USSC ruling as Florida did not have the right to change their voting process after the election - could be wrong.

After the years of abuse of the "General Welfare" and "Commerce Clause", this is another example by the Founding Fathers that they couldn't foresee being abused by not putting the "Electoral College" under Federal guidelines in the Constitution.

Like me, they were mostly States Rights advocates so the Fedgov couldn't become all-encompassing. If only that had a crystal ball. An Amendment could have set strict Constitutional law that all States use the same procedures regarding the Electoral College. They had the right idea, just didn't take it far enough.

Based on my recollection of this news report, they did in 2018.

Patience isn’t an option. Dec. 8 approaches.

I agree but Dec. 8 is two weeks away... not two days.

“It would seem like a poor choice of words to use ‘theory’ in this context.”

Because most confuse theory with being just a WAG!

I think you refer to Patrick M. Byrne former CEO of Overstock.com. It was good online interview.

Very likely that both are true, and the fraud is too massive for one team of lawyers, however skilled, to handle. So a split into two forks makes sense from a practical standpoint.

“Theory” is normal legal-speak.
“Theory of the crime” & “Theory of the defense” kind of thing.
A word that causes no pause to those experienced in courts.

“Giuliani should not speak of “THEORIES” if he have clues and facts !”

That is normal word used in the legal world. It is used extensively by lawyers all the time, defense and prosecution.

In a case everything, defense and prosecution, are theories until proven as fact in court.

By a lawyer, it must be used.

Everything, prosecution or defense, is theory until proven in court.
