Trump Informs Sidney Powell She Won’t Be Given ‘Special Counsel’ Job, Cuts Her Off

President Donald Trump reportedly informed attorney Sidney Powell this week that she will not be given a “special counsel” position to probe her unproven claims on election fraud, and she now claims that she has been cut off from speaking to the president.

Trump dropped the idea of “giving her such a formal portfolio for pursuing her conspiracy theories around voter irregularities and fraud,” The Daily Beast reported. “Asked whether Trump told Powell that she wouldn’t be ‘special counsel,’ Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani — who leads the president’s post-election legal team — told The Daily Beast on Tuesday: ‘Yes,’ adding, ‘she is no longer part of [our] team. She is on her own.'”

Powell later released a statement to Fox News, saying, “I have been blocked by White House counsel and others from seeing or speaking to the President since I raised the public formal findings and even more evidence of foreign interference from Iran and China.”

The news comes after Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani sought to distance himself, the president, and the president’s legal defense team from Powell this week. Giuliani’s remarks came after Powell had repeatedly been sighted at the White House in recent days, including on Friday, when she was accompanied by Lt. General Michael Flynn. The Trump campaign, at the behest of the president, distanced itself from Powell last month after she made unproven claims during a press conference that many of Trump’s frequent defenders were stunned by — including Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh. The Washington Post reported that a Trump campaign official said at the time that Powell was “too crazy” to have Trump’s support.

“Let me say definitely, Sidney Powell was not part of our legal team,” Giuliani said this week. “She hasn’t been for five weeks.

She is doing something - not her fault, or any of the other attorneys’ fault the courts are slow walking:

I applaud every attorney who is fighting on behalf of Trump.

After seeing the massive Voter Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election, I disagree with anyone that thinks a strong, fast, and fair Special Counsel is not needed, IMMEDIATELY. This was the most corrupt election in the history of our Country, and it must be closely examined!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2020

Rudy was in that big meeting the WH last weekend with Powell and Byrne.

Byrne says Rudy is the guy Trump needs by his side all the time there in DC—and Powell is the the SC they need for the election fraud. Byrne is a big fan of both Powell and Rudy.

So I take it Rudy is just continuing to make clear that she is not part of the Trump campaign legal team in order to maintain her viability for either SC or the second-term AG slot.

Meadows, Cippolone (sp?), etc., are apparently the vipers not only trying to get Trump to concede and trying to force young staffers to push Trump to concede, but also all week pulling even tighter around Trump to not let others communicate with him. Byrne said longtime Trump friends and allies report the walls around Trump being put up higher than they’ve ever been this past week.
