Lawyer Sidney Powell Is Ousted From Trump’s “Elite Strike Force Team”
SlateFormer New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized the ongoing legal charade being orchestrated by President Donald Trump and his lawyers, calling the conduct of Trump’s legal team a “national embarrassment” Sunday on ABC News’ This Week. The evidence has not been presented, and you must conclude, as Tucker Carlson even concluded the other night, that if you are unwilling to come forward and present the evidence, it must mean the evidence doesn’t exist.” “Yes,” Chris Christie tells @GStephanopoulos when asked if it’s time for President Trump to stop challenging the 2020 election results, adding that the president’s legal team has been a “national embarrassment.” https://t.co/MSGkuhpZkj pic.twitter.com/Z6Uo8ywNud — This Week November 23, 2020 Christie’s denunciation of Trump’s legal effort comes as murmurs of disapproval have begun to bubble to the surface from Republican senators who have so far buried their heads deep in the sand, tacitly endorsing Trump’s efforts to overturn the election through their silence on the matter. In a delicious bout of the crazies eating their own, Trump’s legal team disavowed one of its founding members, Sidney Powell, after she went on TV and basically explained how the 2020 election was stolen from Trump by “communist money” and former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, who died in 2013 but somehow managed to rig “the algorithm” of Dominion Voting Systems, the voting system used in Michigan and Georgia. Trump had tweeted his support for Powell and her cockamamie theories, but on Sunday the Trump legal team that Powell once called “an elite strike force team” disavowed her.
