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.

Who knows? But if you trust Karl Rove and Ben Shapiro to be truthful and supportive about ANYTHING having to do with Trump, I have some waterfront property in Death Valley I’d like to sell you.
Thanks, started feeling like the only one for awhile! :^)
OK here’s what really happened. According to Patrick Byrne who was in the oval office meeting for 5 hours the President told Sydney Powell he was going to name her special prosecutor. Then the next day when she called about her security clearance and an office Mark Meadows said that he couldn’t make that happen. So basically the Whitehouse team is just countermanding Trump’s wishes and trying to let the clock run out so they can all move on.
For a model of what will happen to Sidney Powell should the coup against Trump be successful, look at what the Left did to Joseph McCarthy. Joseph McCarthy was a Patriot, and purchased us at least a couple of decades of breathing room which we squandered.
And they made damn sure his reputation died with him. They slandered him, the worst human being alive, propagated it through all news, entertainment, education at all levels, literature, you name it.
There is a phrase: Carthagio delenda est”, which translates to “Carthage must be destroyed”.
In McCarthy’s case, it became “McCarthy delenda est”.
They had to destroy McCarthy for eternity and salt his grave with the lessons of “McCarthyism” in schools and colleges, references to it in books and movies, and indoctrinate generations with the propaganda that he was a very bad man indeed.
They did the same thing with Nixon.
And they will do the same thing with Trump if he cannot find a way to make this election right. And the Left will do it with the willing assistance of the same kind of people they murdered the reputation of all those such as McCarthy and Nixon with, including many who frequent this forum.
And the same with Sidney Powell.
Sidney Powell is a serious person who has had seen a lot of information which has been collected and presented to her which shows overwhelming fraud. She is right to think it is as earthshaking as it is.
What is abnormal and indicative of a frog in hot water is that there are still people who doubt what she has seen exists, don’t think it is important, and go right along with painting this remarkable person as a self-interested fame-grifting attention whore that the Left including the entire media is gleefully sowing.
She is a Patriot, pulling out every stop she can, because the future of this Republic damn well needs someone pulling out all the plugs that can be pulled out. People can agree or disagree with her characterization of the fraud she has seen, but her treatment by the very people who should be sending her money, never mind pulling with all their might for her to succeed is...shameful.
Bravo!
‘Reportedly’ ... fake news spittles another one.
The Verona Project proved that McCarthy was 100% correct. It also strongly suggested that Oppenheimer spied for the Soviets via Klaus Fuchs.
Witness by (Turned Soviet spy) Whittaker Chambers is one of the best books ever written.
William F. Buckley tried to get Whittaker to start National Review magazine with him. Whitter declined saying that his history was to much of a liability.
99% of Americans today have no idea what I was just talking about. Sad.
You and me are much of the same mind, blam.
I think that what was done to McCarthy (and Chambers too) was shameful. He should be remembered as an American and Patriot who gave his life and reputation for his country.
Yup.
This was my Navy home for a while.
The posters who complain about Guiliani, et. al., ignore the extreme corruption of the judiciary, through blackmail, bribery, or intimidation, the last of which was evident in Chief Justice Roberts' remarks about riots before denying the Texas claim. Additionally, prestigious lawyers who worked for Trump have been intimidated and resigned for fear of being blackballed or disbarred.
I pray that Trump can pull off a victory by some method. Otherwise, finis America.
Ahhhhhhh! A diesel boat man!
I salute you, FRiend! YOU are part of an elite community...:)
“You only read what you want to read.”
A few tips about that selective reading:
First, actual “U.S. Army Intelligence” does not spill the education and training background of its people - including the pass or fail status in courses and entrance exams, because it is bad practice to spill info of cumulative and interogative benefit to enemies.
Second, regarding Russ Ramsland information re Michigan and Minnesota, corrected affidavits were filed by Sidney Powell and by Lin Wood.

I was one of those people who, for most of my life, just accepted what I was taught and told about McCarthy. Why would they all lie to me?
Boy, it was a real eyeopener for me when I scratched the surface on this subject. Best book I ever read on the subject, by far, was “Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies”.
It was so good and valuable that not only did I get a hardcover, audio, and Kindle version, but resolved to write the author, M. Stanton Evans, a letter of gratitude for writing it, but he passed on before I got around to it.
As for “Witness”, you can see from my Freep Page how I feel about him...:)
His grandson sent me a few polite “cease and desist” emails because I was displaying a copy of Chambers’ letter to his children. He was very decent and I tried, but it was back in the day where the workings of hosting a page were still somewhat mysterious to me, and after I deleted it, it kept reappearing...
Made me feel somewhat like a dunce...:)
I hope all the Leftnick media mob and their anti-Trump sidekicks believe this anti-Powell tripe. If it’s President Trump’s pursuit of the truth, what Sidney Powell brings to the table is icing on the cake. The Dominion machine fraud is the mother lode of of the DemonKKKrats’ plan to steal the 2020 Election. The fury that is whipped up is proof that the spotlight of truth is over the target. Powell’s evidence will rip the Dems to shreds.
McCarthy's failing was his alcoholism.
...still waiting on her to drop the Crackin or whatever she calls it.
This was discussed in the book, and the author indicated IIRC that his alcohol use was NOT a driver of his behavior until after the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, after which he was unfairly censured and stripped of his committee privileges, coupled with the non-stop demonization of him by the Left and their compliant (even as today) media elements.
As M. Stanton Evans (who did more original research than any other reporter on McCarthy) and also was a cub reporter when this was all going on in real time back in 1950-1954)
I believe his enemies drove him to his death. They will no doubt attempt to do the same to Donald Trump, and in his death, will attempt to treat him and dismiss him in the same fashion.
If we let them.
