Sidney Powell: the bravest, smartest, fiercest, patriot in America
By Carol Brown

Sidney Powell is a force of nature as she exposes massive election fraud that swung a landslide win for President Trump to appear like a win for Joe Biden.

Undeterred by threats, she stands almost alone battling this shocking coup against our president.

Most recently, she was interviewed by Mark Steyn (50-minute mark) where she described the breathtaking scope of this fraud against the American people.

The level of corruption is extensive, deep, and broad.

If she's so smart, why didn't she keep her proverbial cards close to the vest instead until she actually released her "kraken", rather than blathering about being "about to release the 'kraken'."

Because trends in public opinion will have a great deal to do with what ends up happening here, pending the actual court case presentation.

She's revealed alot of pretty interesting information.

Ah, Ms. Powell, please keep an eye on the clock --- it's that thing ticking down behind you.

So feel free to release the damn kraken any time.

It's for donations to the Legal Defense Fund for the American Republic, not a manicure.

From her website:

The Defending the Republic is the Legal Defense Fund for the American Republic (“LDFFTAR”) and was established to defend the Republic and to protect the integrity of elections in the United States.

It’s been only two weeks, people. We’ve still got at least 23 days left—measured against Gore’s time in making legal challenges in the 2000 election—maybe even more if the evidence of systematic fraud warrants.

Calm down. When it’s time to panic I’m sure many will. That time has not yet been reached.

Powell and the others have already uncovered alot of incriminating details, but if everyone is waiting for the media to admit a kill shot to Biden's claim to the presidency I'm afraid they'll be waiting a long damn time.

It's not about panic...it's about being promised over and over and over again that "something big" is gonna happen re: justice brought to the leftist cretins for their seditious, treasonous activities.   More specifically, it's about broken promises and "bombshells" that end up with nary a fizzle.   And you don't tell your opponents/enemies what you're ""going"" to do, if you have a working brain cell.   You just friggin do it.   It ain't rocket science to most folks.

Good points @aligncare  --- But the legal team needs one spokesperson and it should be other than Powell or Giuliani --- enough with the scatter drama. They are the ones pushing folks to the point of  "put up or shut up" and the GOPe is beginning to peel away. 

The spokesperson should give routine updates on legal filings, period.

I don't mind the interviews and updates from multiple team members, building their case with the public. The problem is over promising - the 'Kraken' stuff - when actually info has been dribbling out. Its a good way to lose credibility.

I couldn't care less what the media admits to.  I pay no attention to "the media" and haven't for years.  What I expect is for those incriminating details (which I call proof and evidence) to result in some folks being imprisoned for breaking the law (or many laws)... and for this ongoing coup attempt, currently in the form of election, theft to be resoundingly overturned and publicly decried as the hoax (yet another one) that it is.

Alas... what I expect and what has actually come to pass are two vastly different outcomes.

It’s hard remove yourself from the mainstream media narrative. Because of the pervasive and corruptive media environment, people in today’s society are like a fish in a fish bowl. We don’t know that we are breathing underwater—we just do.

Excellent post!

I admire Sydney Powell and was very excited when she took on Gen Flynn's case...but look where that case is today..charges still not dropped when she said it was a slam dunk to overturn it.

So I don't have much faith in any of these lawsuits re the election.

I'm not sure its possible for those charged with enforcing the law among the ruling cadre to do so in spite of the mainstream media narrative. That would require a collective act of courage which is too much to ask, apparently. I can't think of a single time it has happened in DC.

Yep.  The warnings from Powell are intended to get those criminals that participated in this fraud to consider the consequences of their actions and to slow down the certifications.

We’re not fighting just the coup, but the significant numbers of rank and file democrats who support and want a successful coup.

That changes the imprisoning-the-perpetrators equation significantly. Realistically, fixing what’s wrong may take many incremental victories over a span of time. We must grasp the scope of the illegality to realistically set our sights on a timetable for overcoming it.

I haven't lost 'all' hope yet, but it's getting there... slowly.   And going on air making threats like this Kraken stuff is stretching my credulity to the max.   

Like ...do something, dammit.  Don't talk about it.  Just DO IT.

Millions of us, American patriots, know that the RL has attempted election theft.  We also know there is plenty of proof and evidence.  What we don't know is whether they will be allowed, by ""our side"", to get away with it. 

After being led on and on about "justice" to the coup perps for four years now (Durham report/investigation is supposedly being dropped completely now)... I'm damned tired of hearing about what might be.  I/we want results.  Or that tree is going to get flooded.... real soon.   :whistle:

amen. Those who expect a legion of corrupt precinct election officials to holler ‘its true we’re guilty’ in unison will be deeply disappointed. Otherwise it’s gonna be a drip drip drip of circumstantial evidence.

@XenaLee

I agree the "kraken stuff" has got to stop.  The spokespeople need to pull their cards back toward their chests. 

But we've got to remember you don't start over in an Appellate Court.  Higher courts are not a retrial or a new trial of the case. The appeals courts do not (usually) consider new witnesses or new evidence.  If the Supremes accept a case they order a lower court to send up the record of the case for review.  (Followed by a few moments of oral arguments)

Here's my point:  If you've got one eye on appealing to a higher court (which all attorneys should), when you present your case to the lower court your logic, law, precedents and evidence have got to be ready (and enough) for the Supremes.  So "Just DO IT" sounds reasonable, but there are no guarantees you can fix a mistake or an omission after the case has been decided in a lower court. 

So, yes, do it, but not until you've got every I dotted and t crossed.

Patience.  The judiciary takes patience --- the virtue I'm called on most to exercise and is most often in short supply.   happy77

American presidential elections do not have "do-overs".

Nor, for that matter, do the overwhelming majority of elections in which fraud was discovered.

It's completely ridiculous to compare what happened in Florida in 2000 to what just happened last November 3rd. That's like comparing a private plane crash landing into a barn vs. two commercial jets flying into the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

Even if the elections in, say, just Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan are found to have been disrupted by significant instances of fraud, there aren't going to be "new elections ordered".

At the very most, there will be a recount and validation of the ballots received on November 3rd. Good luck on getting that done before December 8th, on which the state slates of electors must be certified for the upcoming Electoral College on December 14th.

And that also assumes that the "recount" will be done in good faith with a sufficient number of observers from our side.
I hear it ain't goin' that way down in Georgia.

So... short of the numbers changing to Mr. Trump's favor in a recount (which will only come about if many thousands of "biden votes" can be disqualified), I see no pathway forward that will otherwise change the results.

The ONLY other option I can see is if the state legislatures of the states involved move to set aside the election results on the evidence that they were tainted and corrupted (and hence the end totals cannot be trusted to indicate what the actual vote "of the people" was). The state legislatures could then send their own slate of electors to the Electoral College.

Who would care to predict the legislatures that will do this...?

Fishrrman's credo:
Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be.

I'd like to "see our reality" lead to a reversal of fortune for Mr. Trump, and I'm as much of a supporter of his accomplishments as anyone else here.
But... in accordance with "the credo"... I just can't.

I hope to be proven wrong.
But I call 'em as I see 'em... and that's the way I see it.

And rightly so. This showboating has little to do with court, and more to do with ginning up drama in public. If it were about court, and the case were strong, I doubt there would be much for showboating at all.

Unfortunately, any website remotely considered conservative being shutdown is a distinct possibility.  Look at what just happened to FOX, overnight it's become trash -- did they see the writing on the wall and turned tail in order to survive? Beck predicted that there would be absolutely no conservative news source and he was right and that is why he went off on his own -- I am hoping that Levine, Hannity, and Carlson will join him.  There are a few others, but they have be silenced. Last I heard Michelle Malkin was attacked and I haven't heard a word out of her since.  No commentaries.

Even at that will they prevent people from subscribing to his network?

As for people going to jail -- that also is a possibility; especially if the U.N. becomes involved in the demise of our Republic.

As for people getting killed -- also a possibility depending on how far Antifa, BLM and other radicals reach into the suburbs.

I was hoping for that glimmer of hope that I saw to twinkle, but it's all but extinguished.

Nah. Never happen. OANN will rise instead. Google, Twitter, and Facebook are dissing half the population or more... Do you really suppose that all those angry people will just disappear?

There will continue to be Conservative representation. Even if it get knocked back to cheat sheets of IP addresses on bandit websites because they are blocking DNS. But it won't be that... Bitchute will rise... Parler and MeWe will rise... The folks being denied make a massive profit margin for someone somewhere else.

For Pete's sake, all the power of the US government and all the tech giants have done all they could to prevent music and video piracy and have not been able to put a dent in it. How the hell is it otherwise with anything else on the internet?

All y'all are moping about nothing.
