Rudy Giuliani distances Trump campaign from attorney Sidney Powell
The Hill ^ | 11/22/2020 | John Bowden

Posted on 11/22/2020 5:40:30 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The Trump campaign on Sunday sought to distance itself from attorney Sidney Powell after she made a series of increasingly convoluted and baseless allegations of widespread nationwide election fraud.

Powell, who also represents former national security adviser Michael Flynn, had appeared with campaign lawyers at press events as recently as last week.

In a brief statement released Sunday afternoon, President Trump's lead attorney Rudy Giuliani and senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis said that Powell "is not a member of the Trump Legal Team."

"She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity," the former New York City mayor added.

Powell appeared alongside Giuliani and other members of the campaign's legal team at a number of press conferences over the past month — including one on Thursday — detailing the campaign's so far unsuccessful efforts to halt or overturn the certification of election results in several key battleground states that were called by media outlets for President-elect Joe Biden.

Trump himself also referred to Powell as a member of his legal team in tweets as recently as Nov. 14.

“The Hill Media Bias Rating Remains Center
Participants on the right perceive The Hill’s content as Lean Left, but not by much. Participants in the Center perceive The Hill’s content as on the border line of Center and Lean Left. Those who describe themselves as Left see The Hill’s content as Center; those who describe themselves as Lean Left see the content as between Lean Left and Center.”

It’s DC Swampish ‘moderate’, full of John Kasich Never-Trumper characters.

“The Hill finds John Solomon ‘failed’ to identify key details of sources”

POLITICO ===> Soloman FAILS

John Solomon leaves behind lasting damage at the Hill
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/15/john-solomon-leaves-behind-lasting-damage-hill
WAPO ===> Soloman DAMAGES

Soloman left The Hill stating he stands behind every word of his reporting.

The Hill is WAPO-POLITICO Category Swamp Garbage masquerading as ‘centrist’.

Do you really need more?

I am relieved to hear this. She and Lin Wood are liabilities for Trump’s election challenges.

If she doesn’t dump a boatload of massive, verifiable evidence this week, she will likely face charges of fraud herself - It’s one thing to make accusations, its another to commit libel. This will actually do more damage to the Trump campaign and cause (if its the reality) than Trump as ever done to himself.

You do realize that Trump’s team has thus far, NOT WON a single lawsuit in Pennsylvania.

But there absolutely, without a doubt, are GOP swampers that are likely complicit.

You say that as though it contradicts my comments. Those crackpots are certainly not going to help Trump win anything with their unprovable theories.

They don’t expect to. They want it to go to SCOTUS.

That would not be surprising. One would think she knows what she’s doing. She is a former federal prosecutor.
