Remember 2000? All kinds of people took off to Florida to serve the cause of Bush or Gore, but most of them hadn’t been retained as lawyers by either. They were allies or freelancers or were working for the party, rather than for the candidates.
And you keep ignoring that she was not active, only considered and multiple posts as far back as 2020 state that, so ya spare me your feigned indignation, it is nothing but a tool you are using to prop up your selective facts.
I’m not sure why there’s such a focus on whether she officially represented him or not. Frankly, it doesn’t matter whether she was of counsel. It’s what she witnessed while she was on the inside.
Trump’s own tweet, which I cited, says she was part of the team.
I cited President Trump’s own tweet. Plus video of Giuliani speaking with Jenna Ellis and Powell behind him, indicating she was on the legal team at that point.
“That crazy bimbo…don’t know her. When you are rich and powerful people are always saying they know you. Happens all the time.”
And, if you don’t pay their invoices…are they really your lawyer?
That apparently wasn’t too long.
Probably when most of the strategy was formulated.

Trump legal team disavows association with lawyer Sidney PowellBy Kathryn Watson
November 23, 2020 / 3:52 PM / CBS NEWSThe Trump campaign is disavowing its association with attorney Sidney Powell after the far-fetched Trump campaign Thursday press conference when she claimed without evidence that the deceased Hugo Chávez, among others, was responsible for rigging the election. The campaign claimed that she "is not a member of the Trump legal team," even though the president and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani had previously identified her as being on the team.
In the days since the press conference, Powell has made additional unfounded claims to conservative networks, and her claims have even been questioned by Fox News' Tucker Carlson, after she refused to produce her evidence on the show.
"Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity," said a statement from Giuliani and Trump campaign senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis.
During Thursday's press conference, Giuliani identified Powell as a member of the team defending Mr. Trump, and the president himself identified Powell as someone working for him in a November 14 tweet.
"I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!" Mr. Trump tweeted at the time.
Powell issued this statement to CBS News:
"I understand today's press release," she said. "I will continue to represent #WeThePeople who had their votes for Trump and other Republicans stolen by massive fraud through Dominion and Smartmatic, and we will be filing suit soon. The chips will fall where they may, and we will defend the foundations of this great Republic. #KrakenOnSteroids"
I simply posted Trump's own words. You don't believe him, apparently. OK, fine. Understandable.
Re: 72 - So did Powell have a properly established attorney-client relationship with President Trump or the Trump campaign? If both are no, it would seem she could report on any meeting she attended without fear of breaching attorney-client privilege?
And you continue to ignore all the other tweets that explicitly stated after considering her they did not put her on the team, stop trying to ignore the facts because you want to push a lie.
Half truths are entirely wrong and you know this. You don’t get to quote one post and ignore everything else because you want to create your own false reality.
Did they or did they not state she was not part of the team? Also, as such for the crimes she is being prosecuted for was she on Trumps team at that time?
You are wildly overstating that tweet and you know it, as far back as Nov 2020 did they not state she was not part of the team? Or is that fact to inconvenient for you?
Are you so limited in understanding that you cannot perceive a person vetting candidates for a team and then later dismiss them as unfit?
I am only telling you what President Trump himself said and what the video shows. You can deny it if you want.
Yeah, I was wondering what a “a rich German fruit and nut loaf” had to do with the 2020 election! ;-)
The only PDJT Tweet I could find where he mentions Sydney Powell as part of his lawyer team:
https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1327811527123103746?s=20
(Original Truth Social post here: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/111278893201615481 )
Again, not her representation but what she heard and participated in.
Why are you in such denial? I already gave you a tweet from Trump himself specifically naming her as part of his legal team. Here’s also a video of Giuliani announcing her as part of the legal team. He not only names her, but says she is one of their “senior lawyers.” She is standing right behind him, and she is the first one to speak after Giuliani. It could not be more clear that she was part of the team. According Giuliani here, they had already been working together for two weeks before this press conference. Watch the video or read the quotes, there is no way you can deny this and be truthful.

Good afternoon. And thank you very much for coming. Well, this is representative of our legal team. We’re representing President Trump and we’re representing the Trump campaign. When I finish, Sidney Powell, and then Jenna Ellis will follow me. And we will present in brief the evidence that we’ve collected over the last, I guess it is two weeks. Also, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing are here with me. There are a lot more lawyers working on this, but I guess, we’re the senior lawyers.
What would she have participated in for 2 days?
