Trump and Giuliani never fell for Sidney Powell’s 2020 election ‘Kraken’ — but the left sure did
The New York Post ^ | 10/22/2023 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 10/23/2023 1:24:06 AM PDT by thegagline

Sidney Powell, the one-time Trump legal adviser — who famously failed to “release the Kraken” that would overturn the 2020 election — has flipped. *** ***Powell was in bad odor with both Trump and Giuliani from the minute she started jabbering about Krakens, which Giuliani told the then-president was “crazy s- -t.”

Between them they fired her three times, because they thought she was a crackpot.

*** But in truth, it didn’t take long after the 2020 election for Giuliani, then Trump’s attorney, to realize that Powell had zero evidence for her farfetched claims, including that Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez had hacked voting machines to rig the election for Joe Biden.

***

A week later, Giuliani was so fed up with her baseless theories that he issued a statement making clear that she did not represent the president. ***

Giuliani told Powell: “I can’t operate like this. I can’t operate with you going off talking about Krakens and all sorts of crazy s–t.“ *** “And I told the president that every time I challenged her on something and I asked her for support, except one time, I never got it or the support turned out to be totally different than what she was talking about.”***

If the GOP can’t figure out how to beat old Joe, they’re useless But “a big fight started,” Giuliani said, and Trump finally had enough.

“The president called me (Giuliani) over because I was the one closest to him, and he says, ‘Throw them out and I don’t want them back here again.’ ”

According to Giuliani, Powell, Flynn and Byrne tried to come back “two or three times, but they had put notices at the White House entrances that they weren’t to be allowed in.”

Apparently, Giuliani and Trump recognized early on that Sidney Powell was a complete loon.

Miranda Devine is usually a very good reporter, I’m taking this article at face value, as these criminal trials get closer to happening in Georgia, the ones that role over and testify against Guiliani and Trump, the real story of what was happening immediately after the 2020 election will start to come out as people begin to turn on each other.

A majority of Freepers fell for it hook, line and sinker.

We’re as low info and gullible around here as the democrat voters are.

We just pretend we’re smarter….

We got people who swear by Q, the kracken, the establishment republicans, swear that somehow DJT will be speaker and like magic heels up and joepedo exit stage left. And like magic potus 47.

We got russia, russia, russia idiots, where a flea cannot suck blood without it being putin’s fault. we have people that understand and agree the last election was stolen, “but we’ll win for sure in 2024.”

We have idiots that think the republican strategy that failed since Reagan left, is THE tactic we have to use.

This is just crap I have seen vomited around this once excellent, forum for discussion and intellectual debate.

All this crackpot talk from Sidney Powell etc obscured the real election fraud that was happening with mass mail in ballots with 120% turnout rate in liberal counties.

Not only that … the whole scheme to steal the 2020 election required the voting machines to work just fine.

I asked one nitwit what exactly someone intent on rigging an election would accomplish by hacking election computers if the “winning” candidate already had potentially millions of fraudulent ballots submitted on his behalf. The answer I got was so incoherent that I don’t even remember it.

I hope Mike Flynn’s involvement in this lunacy will open the eyes of some Freepers. I never liked the guy (for a number of reasons), and I’ve taken a lot of crap here for saying so.

Article is BS. Massive evidence of voter fraud will be coming out in a few months. If you think that 94% of registered voters voted in 2020 and in many counties more than 100% voted you are delusional. And if you average the number of registered voters in 2018 and 2022, then more than 100% nationwide voted in 2020. And if you subtract all the fake registered voters that we already know of, then way over 100% voted in 2020.

Read the article. Nobody associated with the Trump team is claiming there was no fraud. What they’re saying is that Sidney Powell’s outlandish claims about hacked voting machines, remote servers in Germany, etc. were complete bullsh!t.

“A majority of Freepers fell for it hook, line and sinker.”

Strange how the mind works. About all I remember of the Kraken was posters on this site making fun of it.

I’ve been looking at the old threads this morning, there were plenty of believers and even the battle between the CIA and soldiers over servers had believers.

According to Byrne, Trump named Powell as a special prosecutor to investigate the election fraud. I suspect her guilty plea in GA state court will get thrown out when Trump admits that in court.
