«This is outrageous conduct by any lawyer. And notice, George, they won’t do it inside the courtroom.»
Chris, buddy, where’s this coming from? Casually accusing a Republican governor and secretary of state of taking bribes in an unproved vote-rigging conspiracy against the president sounds like smart, sober lawyering to me. Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell: “Georgia is probably going to be the first state I’m going to blow up… [the filing in the state] will be Biblical”.pic.twitter.com/pU8PVOobzr Alex Salvi (@alexsalvinews) November 22,2020 Does Christie mean to suggest that framing one’s case as a battle against “the Devil” *isn’t* a hallmark of professional litigation in New Jersey? Sidney Powell @SidneyPowell1 is going to confront the Devil in GA this week. So are many others. Some who have been quiet are about to speak out. The Devil has no idea what he is about to face in GA.

It’s weird that Hillary, after having rigged the vote against Sanders, didn’t then also rig the vote against Trump in the general election, no? Especially given how close the race was in the midwest, where a few thousand votes here and there could have flipped the presidency. None of this is supposed to make sense or even be believed by Trump’s adherents. At this point it’s a pure loyalty test, or “insanity oath” as Michael Brendan Dougherty described it. You either stand with Trump and “fight” by swallowing anything Powell, Wood, and Rudy Giuliani crap into your open mouth or you stand with “the enemy.” Speaking of Rudy, he’s running on a parallel track to Powell in advancing Trump’s conspiracy theories. Powell is on a witch hunt, tossing around fantastically broad accusations with promises that she’ll prove her case eventually. Giuliani is focused on more specific “anomalies” in the election data, trying to undermine confidence in the results to create a vacuum of trust in the outcome for Powell to fill: Want evidence of fraud.
