Fox News contributor Karl Rove on Tuesday criticized former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and lawyer Sidney Powell for the “idiotic” ideas they are pushing to President Donald Trump on overturning the results of the 2020 election.
Anchor John Roberts said, “I want to ask you about these meetings that the president has been having a close group of allies about what to do regarding what happens on January 6… that some members of the House may oppose the seating of electors from their states. And then there’s other things that have been kicked around, too, which the president denies, like bringing in the military to rerun elections in certain states. What do you make of all that?”
Rove said, “Talk about an idiotic idea. There’s no ability for any president to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1803, claiming that the issue has got to do with the hubbub around the election. No president would have the authority to do that. General Flynn may have served honorably in the military, but he is sure is heck, not a constitutional law scholar. And when it comes to giving good advice to the president about politics, he’s at the bottom of the list, in my opinion.”
When asked about Sidney Powell, Rove said, Ms. Powell has peddled theories that have little basis in fact. The idea that Hugo Chavez from the grave was somehow involved in stealing this year’s election. She was poured out in a courtroom where all of her expect witnesses, one of them was so highly prized that he had to have a code name and could be revealed. She sold him as a highly expert military intelligence analyst. He turned out to be a mid-level computer program from Dallas who couldn’t even pass the entrance exam

Yes.
No evidence has ever been allowed to be shown in a court of law since this thing started.

I have developed a special level of distaste for him. I supported him completely when the likes of John Kerry as President was looming.
When I read the book he wrote some years back, I was disgusted to learn he was such a wimpy, whiny pussy.

The video is not fake, but there is a lot of misinformation:
1) Those are not “suitcases”, they are ballot crates and can be seen being used throughout the room including at times when elections observers and media were present. Calling them “suitcases” when even upon casual observation they clearly just ordinary ballot crates is just obvious disinformation, likely intended to give the impression that these ballots were secreted in from some outside location. My question: why would people who believe they have truth on their side find it necessary to engage in this sort of disinformation?
2) Despite what Rudy and Traci Picks (assisting Trump’s legal team at GA Judiciary Subcommittee) implied, the origin of those ballot crates is not at all mysterious. They were placed there by workers while the media and the elections observers were present between 10pm and 10:20pm. To see this I’m going to refer to the following two videos:
video A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keANzinHWUA
a) In video A between 4:00 and 5:00 you’ll see the workers filling up the ballot crates in front of the table while observers are still present (this is about 9:59pm EST.) Notice in particular the man in the black jacket and gray pants with the black hair (or black hat.)
b) In video A you’ll see at about 4:30 (9:59pm) that the crates are still in front of the table. It is about this time that Traci Picks asks that the video be forwarded “to about 10:25.” Whoever is controlling the video forwards it to 10:19pm. You can see that the crates are no now longer seen in front of the table.
c) In video B at about 1:50 you’ll see the man in the black jacket and gray pants pushing the ballot crates under the table. This this is the same ballot crates that he is seen packing up at 9:59pm in the video presented by Traci Picks in front of the Georgia Judiciary Subcommittee.
d) At 4:55 in video A you’ll see a women wearing yellow walk up to the table and give a toe tap to a box that has been placed under the table but is still visible from the side (even from the angle of the security camera.) This occurs what the media and elections observers are still present. Is this really the behavior of people who are about to perpetrate election fraud?
These ballots crates were clearly placed under the table between 10pm and 10:19 EST. There is nothing mysterious about their origins for anyone who is willing to look at this objectively.
Now here’s the part of Traci Pick’s testimony that I find particularly troubling. At 8:44 in video A she says the following:
“What was the chain of custody, where did they come from? Who put them there? When did they put them there? We only reviewed this about 1 in the morning last night for a couple of hours so we’re going to need about 14 hours.”
I’m sorry but that is just not believable. Does she really expect thinking people to believe that they had time enough to pinpoint when the table was placed there in the morning, time enough to pinpoint when the lady with the blonde braids allegedly told people to leave, time enough to pinpoint when the ballot crates were pulled out from under the table, but they didn’t have enough time to find when the crates were placed under the table. She is just covering her a**. She knows exactly when the ballots were placed under the table — between 10pm and 10:19pm, precisely the 19 minute period that she asks to skip over during her testimony to the GA Judiciary Subcommittee.
At least some people on Trump’s legal team are knowingly lying and spreading disinformation. I want to know why. Something very ugly is going on.
Karl rove is a charlatan skunk who looks for the next a## to suck

I am a lawyer with over 25 years of experience, about half of it exclusively in Fed Court.
I have tried my best to read filings by Powell, Giuliani, and Wood. They are garbage: full of spelling errors, hearsay, missed deadlines, geographic errors, affidavits lacking foundation, etc.
I have never seen lawyers lose so decisively, so one-sidedly, and so humiliatingly, so many cases, in such short time, as the lawyers representing PDJT.
Also, in court pleadings, where affidavits are signed under penalty of perjury and lawyers can be sanctioned for making frivolous arguments, the lawyers generally are arguing far different facts than what they tell us in press briefings.
Take the largest contested state, PA, and the lawsuit seeking the biggest prize, to disallow 300,000 votes. That lawsuit was NOT based on fraud. It sought to toss the votes based on a legal technicality.
I have said elsewhere: PDJT and his supporters are being manipulated and deceived.
Standing is a concept that comes up in Fed Court, but generally not state court (I can elaborate later if you wish)
About half of the cases were in state court.
At least 4 or 5 of the trial courts allowed evidence. In one case, the judge allowed up to 15 deposition transcripts. But rather than bring depo transcripts, the lawyers filed affidavits, which are hearsay.

I agree absolutely. There has to be people on Trump’s team that know what’s going on. The misinformation and outright lies are so glaringly apparent — it really only takes a little time and a willingness to look at things honestly. What I want to know is why they are doing it? I’m not very disposed to conspiratorial thinking, but I have to admit the situation makes me wonder. It is a bit like the Pizzagate nonsense, but at a national level.
“Based on all the court cases, I agree with Karl Rove.”
You assert Biden won without election fraud?
