She promised to reveal new groundbreaking evidence to prove her point. It didn\u2019t happen. Both her lawsuits in Georgia and Michigan were tossed by the courts. This was expected. Even Rush Limbaugh <a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/mattvespa\/2020\/11\/24\/rush-limbaugh-turns-on-trump-legal-team-n2580558\">noted<\/a> that it\u2019s not good to hold a press conference, promise earth-shattering new evidence, and then not really present any. Also, prayers to Mr. Limbaugh who was told this month that his lung cancer, which he was diagnosed with in February, <a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/leahbarkoukis\/2020\/12\/16\/rush-limbaughs-health-update-n2581640\">had progressed<\/a>. Look, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2020\/12\/10\/trump-team-throws-towel-proving-voter-fraud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it didn\u2019t pan out<\/a>. There was a time crunch. You needed such evidence to toss out ballots.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/nevada-trump-lawsuit-dismissed\/2020\/12\/04\/844d420a-3682-11eb-a997-1f4c53d2a747_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Judges <\/a>aren\u2019t just going to sign off on tens of thousands of ballots being trashed. You needed evidence of systematic fraud, which apparently Powell, the Trump campaign, or other legal allies failed to either produce or argue effectively. <\/p>\r\n<p>Yet, Powell was included in discussions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/12\/19\/sidney-powell-trump-special-counsel-448694\">about a special counsel investigation<\/a> into the 2020 election. Well, she was at least until this week. She said Trump offered her a special counsel position, but it wouldn\u2019t be a Mueller-style appointment. Yet, she can\u2019t turn in the proper paperwork because Trump\u2019s aides have blocked her from helping him (via <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/531651-powell-says-aides-wont-let-her-help-trump\">The Hill<\/a>):&nbsp; RE<a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/mattvespa\/2020\/12\/26\/sidney-powell-trumps-aides-are-blocking-me-from-helping-him-n2582128\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ MORE &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"60","created":"2020-12-26 17:47:49","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2020-12-26 17:47:49","modified_by":null,"checked_out":null,"checked_out_time":null,"publish_up":"2020-12-26 17:47:49","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":1,"ordering":null,"metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":null,"metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"0","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
