Trump Lawyer Sidney Powell Accuses Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Bernie Sanders of Complicity...


Trump Lawyer Sidney Powell Accuses Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Bernie Sanders of Complicity in Bonkers Voting Machine Conspiracy

By Josh FeldmanNov 22nd, 2020, 10:54 am

-snip-

Powell appeared on Newsmax last night, continuing to claim she has evidence that will blow this whole thing wide open, and again going after Tucker Carlson — who said he asked Powell for evidence and was rejected.

At one point, as she continued pushing the claim about the Dominion machines, she said “thousands” of people are probably complicit in this.

She went on to say that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp — a Republican — certifying that state’s results is a “total farce” and claimed, “Georgia’s probably going to be the first state I’m going to blow up.” And then she accused Kemp of being complicit, even suggesting he was bribed:

“Mr. Kemp and the secretary of state need to go with it, because they’re in on the Dominion scam with their last-minute purchase or award of a contract to Dominion of $100 million. The state bureau of investigation for Georgia ought to be looking into financial benefits received by Mr. Kemp and the secretary of state’s family about that time.”

... but they are required to be truthful in all court proceedings. To do otherwise would mean immediate sanctions and possible disbarment.

Her affiliation with Trump gives her the green light to say anything her shriveled wingnut heart desires and she’s taking full advantage, secure in the knowledge that who dares criticize her will be sent to the orange gulag.

Next step is a cease and desist order from a corporate lawyer. They certainly have a case for real injury. How many Republican states are going to buy Dominion systems if this shit keeps up?

A lawyer for the President of the United States has boldly alleged that the Georgia GOP Governor and the GOP SOS have likely accepted bribes in awarding the "Dominion" contract. This is so critical imo.

And all of this is on top of the allegations of using the Domain tech etc to steal the just concluded Presidential election and the failed GOP Senatorial elections.

If it's true, then it's a GOP conspiracy, not a Dem conspiracy. Does she even get that? Is the media even paying attention the the substance of the allegations of more to the point, what the allegations actually suggest?

Does the national GOP get what's happening here? If this scandal plays out it will be the GOP that pays the price imo.

I do not believe that the Gov or the SOS in Georgia used any tech to steal the election to help Biden in any way. I have no evidence to the contrary however.

[tin foil hat invoked] I am going to admit that I have for years believed that the GOP has in fact used the digital voting machines and related counting tech to steal elections in Georgia and other states for years. That is what HAVA was created to bring about in my opinion.[tin foil hat removed]

I can't help but think that everyone is being blinded here.

All these conspiracy theories, hot button names, ridiculous complications. Now we're suppose to believe that Bernie is somehow linked to all this because the sniff of socialism is always good to get the gang riled up. Hugo Chavez was a nice, bizarre touch.

Powell suggests there are thousands involved in this latest theory regarding the Dominion voting machines. Then there are servers in Germany that the FBI has/is confiscating to prove that Trump won the election by a landslide (this is a kissing cousin claim bending back to Hillary's servers). And, of course, George Soros has been thrown into the mix because . . . because.

Sheer lunacy. This is what the Republicans have unleashed and refuse to raise a finger to stop. I distinctly recall members of the GOP howling that Q was manufactured by Dems to make Republicans look bad. And now?

Never forget, never forgive!

I remember when Stephen Colbert was taken seriously by conservatives.
