Don't count out Sidney Powell just yet
A caller to the Rush Limbaugh program Monday expressed hope that the Trump campaign is still behind attorney Sidney Powell in spirit, if not directly endorsing her by name, and that its attorneys' announcement Sunday distancing themselves from Powell and her legal endeavors was merely their means of focusing their attention and limited resources on the matter at hand, namely, proving election fraud existed in numbers large enough to change the projected outcome of this year's presidential election. By issuing their statement, the Trump legal team can avoid the obligation to respond to distracting commentary spurred from Powell's explosive allegations delivered both at the Thursday press conference and over this past weekend on various news outlets, while also freeing up Powell to pursue justice, unhindered from any real or perceived encumbrances brought on by Republican Party loyalty. This caller is not alone in her assessment.
Given the explosiveness of Sidney Powell's charges and her calculated delay in providing the media with substantive evidence, it is predictable that the political pundits and inside-the-beltway types would be feverishly advising Trump and his legal team to distance their legal efforts from Powell, if not to disavow her allegations completely, in order to avoid the all-to-predictable onslaught of attacks launched by the media. However, anyone who watched the Trump team's legal press conference Thursday couldn't have missed the glint of light in Rudy Giuliani's eyes and his apparent affirmation of Powell's comments evidenced by a spontaneous, albeit awkward, offer of a handshake to Sidney Powell after she delivered her initial remarks. Giuliani's gesture was an unmistakable show of unity, camaraderie and admiration for the pull-no-punches, out-and-out delivery of election fraud accusations laid out by Powell moments earlier.
