Sidney Powell Claims Trump 'Can Simply Be Reinstated,' Biden Told to Leave White House

Attorney Sidney Powell, who filed baseless 2020 election challenges on behalf of former President Donald Trump, insisted on Saturday that the Republican politician "can simply be reinstated"—continuing to promote conspiracy theories and misinformation about President Joe Biden's victory.

In this photo, Powell speaks to the press about various lawsuits related to the 2020 election, inside the Republican National Committee headquarters on November 19, 2020 in Washington, D.C.
Powell made the remarks during the "For God & Country Patriot Roundup" conference in Dallas this weekend. Also speaking at the event was retired general Michael Flynn, the former Trump national security who has also repeatedly pushed false claims about the 2020 election.
"He can simply be reinstated," Powell said of Trump during the conference. The crowd cheered loudly in response to her groundless claims.
"And Biden is told to move out of the White House," the lawyer continued with a smirk on her face. "And President Trump should be moved back in. I'm sure there's not going to be credit for time lost, unfortunately. Because the Constitution itself sets the date for inauguration. But he should definitely get the remainder of his term and make the best of it. That's for sure," Powell insisted.
Powell also suggested that Trump could have fought harder to stay in office. "He had all the tools he needed," she said. "From the day after the election, everyone else around him at the White House was telling him to just pack it up and go home."
In the wake of Trump's election loss in November, the former president initially solicited the legal aid of Powell to formally represent his campaign in court challenges to the results. However, after the attorney was widely mocked for her bizarre and often illogical claims, the then president said publicly that she was not officially part of his legal team. Powell continued to file election challenges independently, including the so-called "Kraken" lawsuits in key battleground states.
Powell's lawsuits, as well as dozens of others filed by Trump and his allies, failed in state and federal courts. Even judges appointed by Trump and other Republicans rejected the allegations. Meanwhile, multiple ballot recounts and audits in key battleground states—including in places where the election was overseen by Republicans who supported Trump—have reaffirmed Biden's election win.
Former Attorney General William Barr, who was widely viewed as one of Trump's most loyal Cabinet members, asserted in December that there was "no evidence" of fraud that would impact the election's outcome. Prior to that, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the Department of Homeland Securitydescribed the 2020 election as the "most secure in American history." The federal agency, which was led by a Trump appointee at the time, said there was "no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
But Trump, Powell, Flynn and other allies of the former president continue to promote baseless claims about the 2020 election. These groundless allegations have added fuel to the bizarre QAnon conspiracy theory. Adherents to QAnon believe that the country is largely run and controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophile Democratic politicians and Hollywood elites. They believe that Trump has somehow been working to challenge and destroy their organization.
A poll released last week by the Public Religion Research Institute found that nearly a quarter (23 percent) of Republicans agreed with the statement, "the government, media, and financial worlds in the U.S. are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking operation." Furthermore, 28 percent of Republicans said they believe that "true American patriots" may need to resort to violence to save the U.S. because it has gone so off track.
"Our country needs to turn around," Brenda Bintz, a retired nurse from New Jersey who attended the weekend conference featuring Powell and Flynn, told The Dallas Morning News. "We've turned our back on God."
Powell is facing a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over her false claims about the company's alleged involvement in a plot to rig the election for Biden. In response to the lawsuit, Powell's attorneys said in a March court filing related to the defamation lawsuit "that reasonable people would not accept" Powell's statements about the 2020 election "as fact."
Newsweek reached out to Powell for further comment.

disgraced general michael flynn called for a military coup at the same event. both should take a few laps around dealy plaza in a convertible.
Powell's attorneys said in a March court filing related to the defamation lawsuit "that reasonable people would not accept" Powell's statements about the 2020 election "as fact."
Yet the crazy bitch keeps spouting these crazy statements and their batshit crazy followers believe it.
These fuckers need to be stripped of every asset and belong behind bars for the rest of their lives. Guantanamo Bay would be fitting.
Doesn't seem to be any reasonable conservatives anymore.
Fun fact: Mike Flynn apparently donated a signed baseball bat to be auctioned off at the QAnon event. It fetched $8,000.00. Yeah, you read that right: $8,000.00. Source
In any other time period, they would be locked up and the key thrown away, sadly today the Trump followers believe this crazy nonsense.
What, is she trying to claim an insanity defense - regarding the lawsuit against her?
I don’t normally say when someone deserves a bullet to the face, but I could make an exception in this case.
That would be #45. Who I'm surprised has not wound up in someone's trunk with a bullet in the head.
No respectable American would ever hire her for legal representation again after her bizarre work for Trump, so she may be lashed to the Q Anon /stop the steal movement for the rest of her life. Come to think of it, that sounds like a deserving fate for her.
Kinda like how Ted Cruz and those like him have convinced me that Harvard isn’t actually a difficult school to graduate from, she has me convinced that law school and the bar exam must be pretty easy.
bar exam must be pretty easy
Kim Kartrashian just failed hers.
In other words I can pass with 5 mins of prep.
For crying out loud, the girl barely passed 2 semesters of core classes at her local community college. The bar exam might be just a tad out of her current reach.
In other words I could not show up and be in the top 98%.
For real though, I have been convinced that there are only a select few schools that actually smart people get in to.
MIT. (IQ 145+)
That is all.
Does anyone understand her gig?
She has killed / is killing her legal career. I doubt she gets paid much for her Fox cameos. Does she have a book?
What is her game?
Her legal career is basically dead, but as long as there are Trumpists out there, she will make a good living from speaking engagements.
Only Trumpturds will hire her and pay her with BBQ sauce and NASCAR tickets.
Like Palin? Pretty much forgotten, already.
Most likely she'll end up in right wing talk radio.
Probably. She is even too toxic and slanderous for FoxNews.
She has killed / is killing her legal career. I doubt she gets paid much for her Fox cameos.
Actually, from everything I've read about her, those things don't matter much to her.
Why?
Because everytime she makes a TV appearance (or a live one to a crowd of admirers) a lot of money pours in-- YUGE amounts!
The "True Believers" believe every word she utters-- believe she's going to "Make America Great Again"-- and protect us from the threat posed by the "Evil Socialists".. to say nothing of the Evil Jews with their "Space lasers". They actually believe some of the Zaniest conspiracy theories.
So they think there's a real threat to them-- and that she can prevent it. So, they donate tons of cash to what they think is a good cause.She's actually rolling in cash...
A while back I read an article about one of their beliefs (one of their many anti-Vaccine conspiracies). Many of her loyal followers actually believe that when someone gets the Covid Vaccine shot,...the needle somehow implants a very tiny electronic device in your body-- and this allows the "government" to read your location, and your thoughts.. and IIRC, some versions of this bizarre conspiracy theory say that once that miniature electronic device is implanted...the evil ("Socialist") gov't can control not only your thoughts but also your actions.
Yes-- many of her followers actually do believe that!
(Some of her most ardent admirers are probably even nuttier than she is..if such a thing is possible).
And the really bad news is...they vote.
And many of them will probably reproduce!!!
well hopefully she's near the edge of a Cliff, and keeps on rolling
... is clearly insane.

Facing Defamation, Sidney Powell Says 'No Reasonable Person' Thought Her Election Fraud Claims Were Fact
"
What a defense: “Obviously I was full of shit; I did not expect anyone to actually believe the nonsense I spewed on a daily basis”.
It was all about scamming the MAGAite faithful of their last dollar, and she was forced to admit to save herself from a suit.
epistte! So good to see you here with us again. You have been sorely missed.
Thank you.
I just stopped by for a few juicy replies.
Wasn't that the Tucker Carlson defense?
watt, know dry humor...?
Missed you....! Lots...!!!!
Welcome Home!!! Take off your shoes and stay awhile!
well, if i were a serial killer, and looking for the "clearly insane" insanity defense, i would still be insane , and if i picked her up at a Barr, i'd have lowered mine, but if she then slipped from my grip, cause from my beer i did need a sip, i'd B even crazier, cuz whenever i drop Sidney, hallucinations and lying bout nations elections become the natural artificial selections....i'd never choose, cause i'd be crazy to choose Powell, and i'm sure Colin ain't too happy either.
"And Biden is told to move out of the White House,"
This is why I could not be the POTUS. I don't have a diplomatic bone in my body and would have told her "F you, you whackadoodle. I am not going anywhere for the next four years, maybe eight."
there's a shoe that fits.
on her foot , or up her asz ?
Does these individual statements deserve a Secret Service "challenge" of some kind? Incidentally, be careful with your commenting (above) NT!!!
She almost (or did) get brought up before the legal bar association due to her incendiary lack of professionalism regarding January 6, 2021 capitol riot. Can she be brought up before the Bar (again) for this?
We should all write letters to see what can be done about her 'free-wheeling' talk about violating the Rule of Law.
She needs to on theirs and DHS's radars.
Well, in any case, the "officials" and BAR association has tangible 'footage' of Ms. Powell lying by saying she has not done this and that, and being provocative in this matter!
I wonder how successful they would be in apprehending her? After all. she's definitely an "Unidentified Lying Object"!
Well, there is at least one relevant lawsuit. She (& several others) said that the Election was fixed and one way this was done was via voting machines-- the voting machines were inaccurate.."fixed" to give a false outcome.
This of course tarnishes the reputation ot the companies who manufacture them-- so there are law suits by two of those manufacturers claiming that negative statements about their machines are unfairly hurting their business.
And then there is bad old Rudy Giuliani who asked a judge to dismiss the Bn dollars lawsuit (as he put it) because no money was lost by the company(ies).
I wish someone could tell me why the Republicans are trying so desperately to make a farce out of American democracy. It makes it really hard for America to force its way of life onto foreign authoritarian regimes and successful meritocracies.
Let me put it bluntly. Some conservatives are talking about "taking THEIR country back" - that means they 'own' this place (implying that the bottom-line is they can do whatsoever they want with/to it.) That is, this country will be a democratic republic as long at these conservatives SAY it can be-or else they sat up a place of irreconcilable differences. . . and start a(nother) large-scale home fight!
Oh and Buzz of the Orient, just looking at the actions of some conservatives, they are well pass the stage of caring how this country looks to the world. In their hearts they feel that they can mend, reestablish, connections after they turn this place into a minority-governed apartheid nation.
Good post
I think its likely that most of them imagine themselves the "majority" even though they aren't even close, but they believe themselves the "real Americans" even though most of them either openly or secretly revere the confederacy which isn't American at all. But by thinking they are the majority of "real Americans", they think democracy is whatever they wish to be enforced upon the minority who they've abhorred for centuries. The new Republican party isn't the party of what the old Republican party believed, they're only interest is in power, control and conserving the power of the white male Christian patriarchy of the past. They welcome with open arms those who marched in the streets chanting "Jews will not replace us!" and waving swastika flags while trying to prevent the removal of a monument celebrating a confederate general, they desperately want to legalize discrimination once again and ban gay marriage, ban a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy and force their faith into public schools, courts and the government.
The irony is this: We, our nation, is confronted by open racists telling us and executing their plans to takeover our government in "nibbles and bits" until they crunch down hard on 'bone': The final and big Swerve!
We keep "shining them on" and not taking them seriously, while they execute the plan in steps and stages.
Powell, Gaetz, Flynn are telling us plainly, they do not intend to compromise with any damn minorities. Racial, sexual, or gender.
For them and other some conservatives, it's thought to be better just to keep the power in their possession and pull in more raw power and take the systems of government through hook or crook! Displace (remove) Rule of Law for an indefinite period.
That's racist. Damn racist. And yes! These fools know this already! But they 'tell' themselves it's their right to 'rule' here.
Hey!
They're fascists. What do you expect?
How does this moonbat still have a law license?
