You probably already know that Trump’s legal team announced that Sidney Powell is not a team member. The brief statement leaves unanswered the most important question: “Why?” Absent solid information, speculation leads us either to “This is the beginning of the end” or “This is all part of the plan” – and I’m leaning to the latter. (snip) If Powell represents the campaign, the government regulates individual donations. If she’s apart from the campaign, things are less constrained.
Lin Wood also chimed in, assuring people Powell is still in the game:
Sidney Powell

& I are more alike than we are different.
We are fighting different legal battles for the same clients

Good article by Andrea Widburg, as always. But why does everyone insist fraud must be proved? If there is a reliable enough record in the software, would it not be enough simply to show without a doubt that votes were switched (for whatever reason) and switch them back? For now, all Trump needs is to get back the votes that were rightly his. Fraud and other criminal prosecutions can occur later.

What I do know.
Sidney is loyal to Trump.
Trump takes care of people who are loyal to him.
I think this had to be done to help ot protect Sidney in some way. Legal or otherwise.

Sundance, at CTH: "This is all about who is getting paid by the campaign and RNC. The Trump campaign isn’t going to reimburse Sidney Powell for any expenses, nor is she allowed to make offers of financial payment from the GOP or Trump campaign. The vultures assembling and protecting their paychecks do not want Powell getting paid, nor do they want any financial liability. That’s all this statement is. ... That announcement is all about money; nothing more."

To question by #3: "But why does everyone insist fraud must be proved?"
You raise a valid point. The answer is, "Don't need it, but do need whatever it takes."
Legal details aside, the effective answer is that the level of proof required is whatever is needed to sway enough legislatures into refusing to certify the election results that Biden's point-total drops below 270...by Dec 15.
If a standard of 'reasonable doubt' is enough...fine. If a higher standard of the evidence supporting a screaming case of systemically felonious fraud is needed, then so be it.
Whatever it takes. Since we don't know at this point what that level is, then it's all hands on deck, and all sheets to the wind.

Throughout his life as a citizen businessman, President Trump has taken on all comers to get things done. For the most part he has won, to the benefit to them and his companies. This mountain is like nothing he has ever faced only this time he has 75 million plus Americans and untold people world wide behind him.

Believe in Sidney Powell, she has the goods, and will show the goods in the appropriate venue. She is the lawyer for us, not the lawyer for the President. The talking heads dismay is showing and the Deep State is worried. Have patience. The wheels of Justice are slow and the process may take longer than through Dec 14th. And China Joe and Heels Up may be in the White House when the court(s) decide about SP's lawsuits. Ultimately, Lawyer Powell will prove her case, future American elections will be saved from Banana Republic type results. And Ms Powell will become the MAGA Party's nominee for President in 2024.

The big story is not the machines it is the Constitution. I believe all of the states in question violated the constitution by changing the voting rules in their state by bypassing their state legislatures. The only entity that can legally change these rules is the State Legislature. Wait and see.

I think Sidney is going to be the one to turn this Election around. I will wait for her to present her Case to the Court. That said, if, as this article suggested, we have to choose between Sidney and Tucker, I will back Sidney every day of the week! No Contest!

A very cleverly orchestrated head-fake by the President and his team. The dims and msm bought it...once again. Tucker, sadly, you bought it, too. There's nothing to see here, really. Full steam ahead on exposing the election fraud. It won't matter who is compensating Sidney. She smells blood and will find the dead carcass.

A statement from Ms. Powell:
"I agree with the campaign’s statement that I am not part of the campaign’s legal team. I never signed a retainer agreement or sent the President or the campaign a bill for my expenses or fees.
My intent has always been to expose all the fraud I could find and let the chips fall where they may–whether it be upon Republicans or Democrats.
The evidence I’m compiling is overwhelming that this software tool was used to shift millions of votes from President Trump and other Republican candidates to Biden and other Democrat candidates. We are proceeding to prepare our lawsuit and plan to file it this week. It will be epic.
We will not allow this great Republic to be stolen by communists from without and within or our votes altered or manipulated by foreign actors in Hong Kong, Iran, Venezuela, or Serbia, for example, who have neither regard for human life nor the people who are the engine of this exceptional country.
#WeThePeople elected Donald Trump and other Republican candidates to restore the vision of America as a place of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Sidney Powell is not your average lawyer. Her passion for the rule of law and patriotism for this country runs deep and wide. Like many here, my mind has been speculating all kind of scenarios. My gut tells me Sidney has opened a Pandora's box with Dominion. The White House is probably getting calls from every government who has used this system as well as from some of our own states. Let's face it, Sidney has not been restrained in her comments. Personally, I don't think any of the lawyers working of this should be talking to the media including Tucker. Why give them fodder to create wild narratives that are not true. Let them eat cake and wait for the court process like the rest of us. In order to stem the tide of wild speculation from other countries, perhaps, they had to do this, for both legal issues and for her own protection. She will have more leniency and options working privately, rather than as a government official. Basically, Trump is setting her free to go and win this for the Gipper and the American people.

Interesting take on the major game plan....Sidney is a absolute Constitutionalist...our country's fate is in her hands... now whether the courts will follow the laws as written... or whether the swamp can take her out is gonna be a fight for law and order...this is America...not china and the globalists control... interesting that Venezuela's socialist government had control of the dominion software... aided and abetted by china and cuba....the swamp made a deal with the devil....they put up a candidate that can be controlled and then lied and cheated their way to a fraudulent outcome...WE'll see!

Sidney Powell has confirmed that she is indeed working on her own. Has signed no retainer with the Trump team nor accepted any payment. As Lin Wood says, she is stlll very much in the game. There are a number of lawyers involved in the various aspects of the election challenges in various states. Jordan Sekulow said that his “team” would be filing suit on “constitutional issues” in Georgia today or tomorrow. Sidney expects to have her filing ready by Friday. This is a massive project. Good that so many fine lawyers are engaged. We should calm down and keep our powder dry. We know that the media and the opposition use every little change to shout “chaos!!!!” Ldotters never bit on that in the past; why would we do so now?

#3, it would seem to be the case. But will most Americans understand what is being presented? First of all, many Americans have been so dumbed down, they cannot comprehend information viewed on a chart. It's very simple, for example--because we are bombarded on a daily basis the number of coronavirus cases as well as the number of COVID-related deaths--to calculate the mortality rate, which is around 3% overall. A simple fraction. But how many people know how to do this? If Americans can't figure this out, how will they understand anything presented to them on charts by Trump's legal team?
However, people understand something simple like the number of attendees at a Trump rally vs. The number of attendees at a Biden rally, a visual that the MSM has censored. Visuals are very important. I have read that if women view ultrasound images of their unborn children, 90% of these women refuse to have an abortion. And this is why Planned Parenthood hates ultrasound images.
Trump's legal team, I believe, will need to get images into court that even the most dumbed down members of a jury will understand. But will an evil and dunderhead judge censor them?
I still have a glimmer of hope, but Trump's legal team has an uphill battle owing to the dumbing down of America.

Today is the "big day" in Georgia, I understand, with the first Trump campaign suit to be filed. We've hit the bottom of the manure pile...now let's see whether we found that unicorn. If that's empty, it's all going to be empty.
As for Sidney Powell, she's a fine made-for-TV lawyer. She can argue the law and she can pound the table with the best. IMO, she made a tactical PR mistake promising the Kraken and delivering nothing to date but more kinda evidence of funny business. The courts will require, as they should, extraordinary proof to support extraordinary claims of election fraud. And either they have it, or they don't. Time to turn over the cards...

Great article and thread, and #3, Sidney knows so much more than she had shared, it’s not just switched votes and software... Remember she has been working for years for Gen Flynn.
Dr Shiva, running for Senate in Mass had weighted “integers,” Kim too in Baltimore, and Sidney knows the history of this fraud and where it was originally developed and who has used it for years/decades...
Pray for her and her team and Our Trump Team, donate as much as you can, and Stay Tuned!
Maybe while waiting, read her amazing earlier book, “License to Lie”!
And ‘Pray without ceasing...”

Easy to understand demonstration: Ten "Biden voters" and 10 "Trump voters" enter their ballots into a Dominion machine. What's the vote count. Even if it has been tricked out by the demonstrators, illustrates that it can be done. Who authorized the use of these dubiously , pedigreed machines? Serve warrants, arrest and give their stuff an colonoscopy level review. Someone will flip.

I love Tucker and think he is brave, but I also think he is getting a bit giddy with success. And I absolutely believe Powell if she says he got nasty. I also believe that Rudy did a take it or leave it, me or her, re: Powell with Trump, and since the stuff Rudy is working on can move faster (and speed is of the essence) than what Sydney is going after, which could take YEARS, Trump went with Rudy. I have, by the way, given up entirely Special Report on Fox, which I watched since its inception, and a lot of Fox in general and instead watch Greg Kelly and Lou Dobbs, both at 7 p.m. on Newsman and Fox Business respectively. I adore Maria Bartolromo, Guttfeld and Watters and some of the women (NOT Perino) on The Five, Brian Kilmeade and Mark Levin, among others. I have lost my allegiance to Fox News, as have so many.........more fools they. REALLY FOOLS!

The most valuable possession we have as American citizens is the value of our vote.
The USA has cheapened it and made it invaluable.
You do not have a right to vote just because you are a citizen.
Voting should not be easy.
You have to be registered to vote.
You can't be an illegal or a felon.
This whole mess we are witnessing is the defrauding of 80 million
voters of their vote. All in the name of easy voting.
The founders of this country would not let you vote unless you owned
property. Think of that. You had to have skin in the game.
Not now, the land owners are scum.
By the way, 'you ain't no man if you have no land'.
If you have not invested in American land, you still shouldn't have
a right to vote. Yes, and you should have to be 21.
The foundation of America is the legitiment vote. That is now gone.
My Grand Dad always told me. Son a man dresses from the ground up
not the top down. Always wear polished fine shoes. He was right.
America, if you destroy this foundaton of voting, you bring in chaos.
America will die.

This article states it best. Since Powell doesn't represent the campaign or Trump personally, she is free from the restraints imposed on lawyers who do. Additionally, there is the simple detail of making clear who and which entities she is an agent for, and who and which ones she is NOT an agent for. Housekeeping clarity.

This whole thing is staged. They're acting. Trump is a student of Sun Tzu. (Ancient Chinese General) And throughout the last 4 years Trump has used tactics with Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu wrote the "Art of War". Trump wrote the "Art of the Deal". See if this makes sense;
He must be able to mystify his officers and men by false reports and appearances,
Literally, "to deceive their eyes and ears."
and thus keep them in total ignorance.

Just turned off Rush. Do not want to listen to him throw the old "conspiracy theory" phrase around. Sidney Powell deals in facts, not theories.
Can't repeat enough on every site and social media too, if is allowed in our land of the free and home of the brave - give Ms. Powell our support, especially financial, to pay for all the work that has to be done by her and those working for her. Just donate to: www.DefendingTheRepublic.org

Lookit. These folks need dough. That's why they had the presser together and proly Rudy's clarification. They need to inform us to get us to support the efforts w/o blowing the case to smithereens by laying all their cards out.
I am not being cynical. Not begrudging. We have to understand this. And pony up. This is my takeaway from the brouhaha last night.
