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.
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 will say anything to keep the rubes sending her their money.

They willingly empty their wallets to TV preacher grifters, and MAGA con artists. But don't want tax money going to science, roads or art.
And some people wonder why I say this is a stupid nation.

(17,552 posts)The ABA should send her out to pasture just for that one comment! A 5th grader watching 10 minutes of "Perry Mason" would have a better understanding of the law than she has!
And besides, isn't she the one that's claiming in her defense against the Dominion suit that she's not to be believed by any "reasonable" person?

(17,552 posts)but this is the dilemma all 'unions' deal with - association with those that do not belong!
Just like when the FOP has to defend 'bad cops' - the NEA has to defend 'bad teachers' - they should have some say in being able to distance themselves from such a disgrace to the profession.....

(38,637 posts)Unlike unions, the FOP, or the NEA, each of which represent their constituent members to employers, the ABA has no formal relationship to anyone (to the bar, to individual states, to employers, etc.) It's just a collection of attorneys. The only formal role the ABA plays is in accrediting law schools - and she's way past that. I have no idea whether she is even a member.
And far too many assume (and point to the ABA) as having the ability to disbar attorneys, when they have no influence at all in disciplinaray actions against any individual attorney.

Sooooooooooooooo the Constitution will dictate trump's second term, but won't prevent the duly elected President Biden from being overthrown in a coup?

We should not be advocating for something like this. Advocate for her being disciplined by her state bars.

(23,631 posts)If there's an armed coup that backs Donald Trump, which manages to overthrow the legally elected government, then yes, Donald Trump could simply be reinstated and Biden told to leave.
That's the only way that it could happen though, so I assume that's what Powell and her cheering crowd are continuing to advocate for. Violent overthrow of the U.S. government. The waffle about the Constitution is just to make the nuts who are supporting this idea feel like they have some kind of legal or patriotic excuse to do such a thing, which they obviously don't.
They got a taste on 1/6 and now they want more.

These peoples' fantasies are no more well-thought than Trump's daily schedule as President -- all that seems important is that their nonsense be reported. Its factuality, indeed its applicability, seem never to come into consideration. They must all be independently wealthy, to afford people who can bath and dress them each day, for they seem incapable of such high-motor skills themselves.
