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.”

There was never a Kranken.
She was a former assistant US Attorney and she did such a good job in the Ted Stevens & Flynn cases, why did she lose her way?
Looks like the ethics challenge to her law license in TX failed.
Be careful overturning those rocks in the desert. A snake may be under one and jump out and latch onto your Juglar.
All along the question has been who’d get thrown under the bus. Looks like Sidney got the or one of the short straws.
Is the Kraken still released?
Oh, please. It is obvious they are going after all the attorneys who defended Trump. Powell’s cases went all the way to SCOTUS so they for sure want to bring her down.
Divide and conquer is an age old strategy. They, the Deep State DOJ, will keep pecking away at everyone around Trump until they can get someone high up the food chain to flip. They are constantly looking for the weak link to exploit. All this being done behind the curtain as much as possible. The idiot judge who destroyed attorney-client privilege created a broad avenue for new attacks.
Re: 64 - McInerney is a kook and spark-plugging a lot of the kookery.
Hope Powell gets hammered, as she raised money to the tune of over 13 million and did very little in the way of due diligence to build out her claims.
So Bernie Kerick is saying what all intelligent people figured out. Sydney Powell is a lunatic. Don’t see how she was a co-conspirator though, since she was kicked off Trump’s legal team.
