Showing Original Post only (View all)'Sit Your Ass Down': Meeting Between Sidney Powell and Trump Lawyers Reportedly Erupted into Wild Fi [View all]

Stunning new details have emerged from President Donald Trumps final days in office, in particular a meeting with competing factions of allies that plunged into a chaotic mix of conspiracy theories and screaming in the White House.
Reports in December described the meeting where Trump hosted Kraken attorney Sidney Powell and pardoned former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn at the Oval Office. The meeting was then described as a chaotic affair devoted to Trumps obsession with overturning his 2020 election defeat after numerous attempts had already fallen apart.
But Axios has reported excruciating new details on the conversation and how it devolved into a confrontation between the White Houses advisers and the conspiracy theories pitched by Powell, Flynn, and their surrogates.
The meeting began with Powells claim that Dominion Voting Systems rigged the election as part of a massive international conspiracy, the same claim for which Dominion is suing her in a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit. The conversation reportedly went on with Powell and Flynn proposing that Trump should mobilize the government, have Dominions machines seized, and declare a national emergency.
