Trump Discussed Making Wacko Lawyer Special Prosecutor For Election Fraud

On Friday, Donald Trump held a meeting at the White House where he further discussed his "coup" attempts, which apparently included having attorney Sidney Powell act as a special prosecutor to investigate make believe voter fraud. Powell will be lucky if she walks away from her actions with her legal license in tact, as Farron Cousins explains.

On Friday, Donald Trump held a meeting in the white house. And one of the people in attendance was Sidney Powell, the lawyer who his other lawyers a few weeks ago, made clear. She is not a part of our team. That was, of course, after she, uh, launched into her ridiculous tirade about George Soros and, uh, Hugo Chavez, ghost working somehow with the Clinton foundation to steal the election. I wish I was exaggerating that, but no, that's, that's what this one said during the press conference with Rudy Giuliani, where afterwards Giuliani had to say, Hey, she's actually not with us. Well, apparently she's with him now because she was at the white house on Friday where Donald Trump, according to sources, according to the New York times, reporting suggested making her a special prosecutor to investigate election fraud here in the United States, which would include by the way, according to those who know what was discussed there, giving her the ability to confiscate voting machines to, to check them out.

Yeah. Yeah. We've, we've definitely hit a new level of nutso here in this country. I mean, Sidney Powell shouldn't be invited to the white house. She should be disbarred. We shouldn't be sitting here talking about Sydney, PA uh, Sidney Powell, possibly becoming a special prosecutor. We should be talking about Sidney Powell, possibly being prosecuted for bringing all these knowingly false lawsuits, which yes, that is a thing you can be prosecuted for. Um, this is legal malpractice. What this woman has been doing with regards to these lawsuits, she is filing. She knows it's false. She knows she has no evidence. She's out there actively slandering, uh, dominion voting machines to the point where they've already issued a cease and desist letter to her demanding not only that she stopped, but that she also publicly apologize, uh, which that is the first step they have to take before they can Sue her for slander.

So this woman is going down, like not only is she at risk of losing her legal license, but she's also going to face a massive lawsuit from dominion. And here Trump is inviting her into the white house and says, Hey, I haven't given up, uh, my COO yet. Maybe you could come in and you could be a part of this, but listen, folks, the thing, uh, that I think, you know why we don't have to really worry about this coup attempt and why I was never worried about it to begin with is because look at the players, what is Sidney Powell going to somehow help with the COO? Huh? Is Rudy Giuliani going to be, be a part of it? Like, do we really have to worry about these individuals? The one good thing about Trump is that he is too incompetent to hire competent people to carry out this coup like, even though they talked about sure, what if we use the military?

I'm still not worried. Like they're, they're not going to do it. And if they do do it, then we never really had a country anymore to begin with. So why the hell not right. Literally, it's kinda like, well, if they do it, then this country was hanging by a thread anyway. And it probably just needed the end. Okay. We're not at that point though. It's not gonna happen. But Sidney Powell is not any person that any other person should hoist upon their shoulders. She should be a dangerous reminder of what conservatism can do to somebody functioning, right? Like she should be on posters all across this country saying, this is your brain on the GOP. She can't be a good example anymore, but she certainly can be a horrifying reminder of what we just went through for the last four years.
