Trump and Giuliani never fell for Sidney Powell’s 2020 election ‘Kraken’ — but the left sure did

Sidney Powell, the one-time Trump legal adviser — who famously failed to “release the Kraken” that would overturn the 2020 election — has flipped.
This news has been greeted with great glee in the usual circles. Ahhh, salivated the New York Times. “Sidney Powell’s Plea Deal Could Be a Threat to Trump.” Hurrah!
“Sidney Powell was Trump’s biggest ‘fighter.’ Now she’s a big threat,” trumpeted the Washington Post.
But like Powell, they are always promising a Kraken that will never come.
They dream that Powell’s testimony will deliver a lethal blow to Trump and his embattled former attorney Rudy Giuliani.
However, for anyone who paid attention to Giuliani’s testimony to Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 House committee, which he repeated in greater detail behind closed doors to special counsel Jack Smith, Powell was in bad odor with both Trump and Giuliani from the minute she started jabbering about Krakens, which Giuliani told the then-president was “crazy s–t.”
Between them they fired her three times, because they thought she was a crackpot.
Powell, 68, has been targeted by Democratic prosecutors as their secret weapon to convict the former president for election interference. She is among the unindicted co-conspirators in a federal indictment against Trump.
