And that will happen in due time, when one way or another Trump's sorry orange ass is no longer defiling the White House. He'll throw them all under the very large bus where many of his former minions reside, having displeased His Lardship or failed to make something happen that he wanted to have happen.

beginning representation?

doesn't the attorney run a conflicts check, and then get a signed statement from the client regarding fees, billing, scope of work, etc.?

Or is this all just a reckless, unethical seat-of-the-pants shit show.

Who is paying Sidney Powell??

Apparently, Trump's real lawyers advised him to socially and professionally distance himself from her as she's a loose cannon on the deck, because he doesn't know better. If she's not working with them, she can't be guided.

She's a shark so I don't believe she's doing this freelance, and that means someone is motivating her. Bannon? Putin? Myers?

I thought she was going to blow up Georgia with her revelations.

So far, the cultists' inability to reconcile that their delusions are just not reflected by actual events has kept the con alive. Whether something goes their way or not, it's always part of the plan. We've already seen the shift from wait for the law suits to losing those was always part of the plan. It will be a rude awakening for them. Hopefully, at least some of them will realize that they got conned.
