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.

DailyWire might as well be the Daily Beast, the way editor Ben Shapiro and blogger Ryav Saavedra have been bashing Trump since the election.
I bet not a single word in this story is true,
Washington Compost using the words ‘crazy’ and ‘unproven’ and wanting me to believe what they say next is a big stretch.

OK, riddle me this you skeptics all — are you saying that the news really is the OPPOSITE - that Trump REALLY is considering Sidney Powell for Special Counsel?
RE: I bet not a single word in this story is true,
So, you are saying that Sidney Powell *IS* going to be appointed special counsel?
FAKE NEWS
Safe to assume that, given the “sources” cited.
Opusing?
There is coming a day when trash links will be history around here . . . I feel it right down to my toes! And that is authoritative enough for me.
RE: FAKE NEWS
I’ve asked everyone who said the same thing - are you saying that Sidney Powel REALLY is being considered Special Counsel by Trump?

RE: Opusing?
What is the meaning of this word?
Trust Government Bureaucrats!
Not surprised at all. Her conspiracy claims are up there with Area 51 and we didn’t land on the moon conspiracies. I expect she will lose any defamation cases brought against her.
