Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation appears to be zeroing in on Sidney Powell, a conspiracy-theory-obsessed lawyer who was a key figure in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
On Monday, Bernie Kerik — a longtime Rudy Giuliani associate and a Trump ally who worked on the Giuliani-led legal team challenging Trump’s 2020 defeat — sat with special counsel investigators for a roughly four-and-a-half-hour interview, according to his lawyer Tim Parlatore. (Parlatore previously served as a top attorney to Trump.)
“Based on the contents of their questions, and my understanding of criminal law, the main individual who was discussed who Mr. Kerik gave any information that could be incriminating would be Sidney,” Parlatore told Rolling Stone on Thursday.
Parlatore added that what Kerik told investigators included: “That there was no back-up for anything she said, that when she was asked to provide proof she didn’t produce anything, and when she was cut loose [from the official Trump legal team], how she kept trying to push her way in.”
Kerik, a former New York police commissioner, is one of the individuals who recently described to federal investigators details regarding Powell’s private behavior as she aided Trump’s attempts to subvert the 2020 election outcome. According to Parlatore, the ex-commissioner did not mince words: “During Bernie Kerik’s interview with the special counsel’s office, the issue of a possible mental health break and change in her demeanor and personality was discussed,” the attorney says.
Parlatore adds that during the investigators’ multi-hour interview with his client, the word “lunatic” was indeed used to describe Powell.
Or, as one source who’s been in the room recently with federal investigators succinctly puts it: “Sidney’s f****d.”
Asked to comment on the source’s two-word characterization, Parlatore simply replied with his own two-word statement: “I agree.”

Does Team Giuliani actually think throwing Sydney under the bus helps their claim that the election was stolen? This testimony makes it sound like Trump was listening to quote "lunatics."
Uh, Yahoo! “News” reports this. How garbled do you suppose it might be?
Joe Biden received 81,000,000 votes.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Don’t think that there weren’t operatives all in on this crap.
Believe Yahoo “news” at your peril.
That name befits the intelligence.
Worse yahoo just copied a rolling stone article, so meh to both
Yahoo News just reprints news from other outlets. In this case, Yahoo reprinted a Rolling Stone article. Lead author Asawin Suebsaeng is a Senior Political Reporter at Rolling Stone.
Rolling Stone is actually far worse than Yahoo when it comes to bias.
If conspiracy is now illegal than no one whimsically presumed to be guilty can possibly be innocent.
I don’t pray for retribution...
It’s got multiple quotes direct from Bernie Kerik’s lawyer, who also used to be a top Trump lawyer. Just ignore it, if you want. Others here are probably interested though, thanks.
Planted News story.
Don’t forget, she became General Flynn’s attorney, so I’m sure the DOJ has a vendetta against her.
“Release the Kraken!”
I was really hopeful when Sydney said this. I thought that Trump would be back in the Oval Office.
I’m so tired of the people who are all hat and no cattle.
81,000,000 votes. Just not 81,000,000 voters.
Regardless, she was a nut and Trump should have distanced himself.
Lame Eagle.
Do not engage.
I gather that leaks from the Special Prosecutor that he is not covered by the judge’s gag order.

Any vendetta probably has more to do with her book on DoJ titled:”Licensed to Lie”.
Saying an election was stolen is something that Hilary Clinton still maintains, and she is proven to be a liar when she says it, and has not been brought up on charges.
This whole think is such a joke and the Republicans in Congress are too “whupped” to even protest.
Most Republicans are “whupped.” Look at the mighty Steve Bannon. Behind him is a sign that reads: “There are no conspiracies but there are no coincidences.”
Of course there are conspiracies, and he spends all his time exposing them.
Rush Limbaugh use to say he was not a conspiracy theorist, but would spin three hours per day exposing conspiracies.
The trembling fear of being accused of being a conspiracy theorist on the part of conservatives is just one tell that they are “whupped” out of the gate.
