President Donald Trump has derided a report that he held a 'raucous' Oval Office meeting where he floated Mike Flynn's calls for martial law as 'fake news'.
'Martial law = Fake News. Just more knowingly bad reporting!,' the president tweeted early Sunday.
Multiple reports also say the meeting saw him mull appointing controversial attorney Sidney Powell as special counsel to investigate election fraud.

Trump has too much respect for the Constitution and the example of our Founding Fathers to use the Insurrection Act martial law under these circumstances.
But he is not going to declare martial law or insurrection of any kind. To expect him to do that, is deep denial on many levels and then to state he is a coward, if he doesn't, as someone posted a few comments ago is the height of buffoonery. That's not unexpected on Freerepubic. Losing is hard, but don't make Trump the enemy, as you and others seem prepared to do.
Of course there was never going to be Martial Law declared. Now PDJT confirms it.
Sad, but true.
Perhaps Trump will leave office quiet if the court and Congressional challenges fail. But the USA is doomed to rule by a leftist oligarchy, perhaps for decades. The Bill of Rights will be as meaningless as guarantees of rights in the Soviet constitution.
He is the commander in chief and the military will follow him.
You are right, unfortunately. I believed all the rumors about the seized German server and how Trump laid a trap for the cheaters. I have waited 4 years for the 2016 Obama coup conspirators to face justice, and now they will be part of a Biden administration. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but at least I'm not going to be strung along any more. Better late than never. I'm already taking on extra work projects for 2021 to ensure I won't have any free time to think about the state of the country. I'll isolate myself from all things political and work, work, work. I've suffered familial grief more than once and work got me through it. I'm now in mourning for America.
More sh*t from the Daily Toilet.
British tabloids calling British tabloids Fake News. They must be infected with COVID-19 or something.
This looks like a rehash and slight modification of the DN trash I read yesterday.
Including the lie that Powell was on Trump’s legal team, implying that she was ibn some sort of an official capacity.
She wasn’t.
Are these the same reporters/authors?
Fake premises based on fake news.
Really?
Ask Milley about that.
“Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are.”
“You hate me because I am gay.”
“You’re going to use martial law.”
The Daily Mail...unlike 99% of our papers...is not entirely corrupt.They are known to get some stories right but they also get some wrong.
Appointing Sydney is worth doing just to watch the dems’ reacting to it.
I’m pretty happy that no one has posted about *Marshall* law yet.
There’s no widespread evidence that he said such a thing. And besides, it’s been debunked.
Now that he has distanced himself from the idea, I really doubt he’s going to do it.
Every single word you posted is the truth. We can see exactly what they going to do and it isn’t going to be pretty for us.
"I'm not an attorney but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night" Freeper internet lawyers will pontificate about how this case looks really good and citing some arcane 18th Century essay on English Common Law, there's a good chance that we'll see Joe Biden removed from office, charged with treason, and sent to GITMO.
Actual Freeper attorneys will post that the case will be dismissed without comment because it's garbage. They will be derided as trolls, #NeverTrumpers, and told to go back to DU.
The case will be dismissed without comment.
There will be threads using blurry photos of men who vaguely resemble these judges allegedly on Epstein's Pedo Island attempting to explain why such a solid case was tossed out. "The judge was corrupt!"
On to the next lawsuit filed in Federal court by an Orly Taitz-ish attorney with a mail-ordered law degree seeking to invalidate the election.
And repeat.
