Sidney Powell Thinks Georgia Senate Runoff May Be 'Rigged' to Favor GOP
Newsweak ^ | 12/29/2020 | Daniel Villarreal

Former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell on Tuesday claimed that Georgia election officials may have "rigged" the state's January 5 special runoff elections so that the state's Republican Senate incumbents will win.

Republican Attorney Sidney Powell said on Tuesday that election officials in Georgia may have rigged the election to favor the state's Republican Senatorial incumbents for victory. In this November 19, 2020 photo, Powell speaks to the press about various lawsuits related to the 2020 election, inside the Republican National Committee headquarters on November 19, 2020 in Washington, DC.

During Powell's interview on The Rush Limbaugh Show, an interviewer asked her whether she thought Republicans should vote in the state's special election despite her belief that the state's presidential elections were rigged to provide an outcome for Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.

"Well, my concern is that it's not going to matter how the people vote in the Georgia race," Powell said. "It obviously didn't matter how they voted nationwide, did it?"

When the interviewer said that he wanted Republicans to vote in the upcoming special election "in incredible numbers" adding, "I want all eyes on this because we cannot hand the Senate to these people, Sydney."

Powell then responded.

"Well yeah, I mean the situation we're in now, I would suggest that everybody in Georgia turnout on Election Day, and do it again: Vote for the Republican candidates in mass numbers and see what happens," Powell said, adding, "And it might be that they've even rigged the system so that the two Republicans win so they can say, 'Oh see? There's no problem.'"

Sidney Powell is a kook, and severely harmed Trump’s campaign.

I agree, but Newsweak is framing this incorrectly and intentionally.

In her defense, no reasonable lawyer ever would have taken Flynn’s case. Getting a defendant off the hook after he had submitted his own sworn testimony about his guilt at least TWICE in his legal proceedings is pretty much an impossible task.

I heard that interview. She did say that, but she was being sardonic. Pathetic, lying headline.

If either GOP wins it is because a deal was made from Mcconnell

Both Dems should win given the what is going on there.

I’ve been thinking this for a long time.

Mitch is way too calm at the prospect of no longer being Majority Leader.

I believe there is a dirty deal to allow Republicans to keep the Senate if Mitch prevents the Senators from objecting to the Electors on Jan 6th.

Yeah, I’m totally unplugged from the MSM. I didn’t see the interview so I have no context.

“I can see this as well. The Dems lose both races 1/5 and then say, “SEE?! You guys won! There is no fraud!” Hoping that Biden rules by EO instead.”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Or, when needed, enough weak Republican Senators “courageously” jump the aisle to “work in bi-partisan cooperation” with the Democrats “for the good of the [country/children/planet]”.

Review
This true legal thriller debunks everything the media and the government told us about the Department of Justice’s destruction and prosecution of the venerable accounting firm Arthur Andersen, Merrill Lynch executives who did one business transaction with Enron, Alaska Senator Ted Steven’s, and more. The common thread through it all is a cabal of narcissistic federal prosecutors who broke all the rules and rose to great power. Still in the news today―Robert Mueller s “pitbull” Andrew Weissmann and other members of Obama’s inner circle―are wreaking havoc on our Republic. This is the book that began exposing “the Deep State.”

if a state that has sent republicans to the senate for 20 years elects republicans to the senate — this will be evidence of some sort of shady deal?

srsly?

Her point is valid and taken out of context.

In response to a question, she basically stated that the enemy might try to cover its previous crime (by closing the barn door now that the horse has been stolen).

She didn't stress that this was more important that getting out and voting, nor did she make this comment in a vacuum.

Yep, this is the best way to dispel the fraud, if the GOP wins the Senate races they will say exactly that.

You clown. She got more out of the DoJ showing they had withheld exculpatory evidence. The DC court he was in is totally corrupt.

But I never made any such claim. I lauded her accomplishments, brilliance and bravery.

She defeated a corrupt federal judge and kept Flyne out of jail.

Accomplished lawyers got him in a pickle, she got him out.

Nice move. If the dems think GOP is cheating they might call for better voting security.

MSM and troll love to take things out of context and run with it.
