Attorney Sidney Powell told FlashPoint host Gene Bailey in a Dec. 29 interview that Vice President Mike Pence should reject Electoral College votes from states facing legal challenges on grounds of alleged election and voter fraud.
“Vice President Pence should simply refuse to accept the illegal electors—the electors from the states in which there was demonstrable, significant fraud,” Powell said. “And if he does that, then it would have to go for President [Donald] Trump.”
The power of the vice president to reject electoral votes is disputed.
Powell was responding to a series of questions by Bailey about the “viable paths” that remain to a second term for President Donald Trump. In the interview, Powell said she believes it is “definitely possible” that Trump retains the presidency for a second term.
Powell also spoke of a lawsuit filed against Pence that requested the court to grant him “the exclusive authority and sole discretion in determining which electoral votes to count for a given State” during the joint session of Congress, when the Electoral College votes will be considered, counted, and certified by lawmakers.
A court on Friday rejected that lawsuit, with U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle writing in an order of dismissal (pdf) that plaintiffs lack standing to bring the legal action that could keep Pence from confirming [Democrat presidential candidate Joe] Biden’s electoral victory.

Attorney Sidney Powell told FlashPoint host Gene Bailey in a Dec. 29 interview that she believes it is “definitely possible” that President Donald Trump retains the presidency for a second term, even after the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6 or beyond.
Powell was responding to a question by Bailey about the “viable paths” that remain to a second Trump term.
“There are multiple cases pending in the Supreme Court,” Powell said. “We have four states in play in our petitions for emergency mandamus to ask the court to decertify Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia because of all the massive fraud there,” she said. A mandamus is a type of court order that compels action, in this case decertification of Electoral College votes in the states in question, which were cast on Dec. 14 for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Powell invited viewers of the program to examine the filings and associated exhibits in the cases, which she said document the various allegations of fraud in the 2020 election.
In the Arizona petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, the petitioners note their core claim is that “the 2020 General Election was tainted by constitutional election fraud on a scale that has never been seen before in America, where hundreds of thousands if not millions of illegal, fraudulent, ineligible or purely fictitious ballots were cast for Biden (along with hundreds of thousands of Trump votes that were intentionally destroyed, lost or switched to Biden), and this massive fraud changed the outcome from a Biden loss to a Biden ‘win.'”
State election officials, the Department of Justice, and others have pushed back against claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, while the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has called the Nov. 3 election “the most secure in American history.”
However, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe reportedly confirmed in early December that there was foreign interference in the 2020 election.
“Well DNI Ratcliffe leads the 17 intelligence agencies and he has access to the most highly classified information that is held by the U.S. government. And he told CBS News that there was foreign interference by China, Iran, and Russia in November of this year and he is anticipating a public report on those findings in January,” CBS correspondent Catherine Herridge said on Dec. 3.
Bailey then asked Powell whether the Jan. 6 joint session or even, the Jan. 20 inauguration, is “the end of the path” or whether, if more evidence of fraud comes to light, it is still possible that there would be a second Trump term.
“It’s definitely possible because the Supreme Court can do what it wants to do,” Powell said, adding, “but it gets more difficult the longer it takes.”
[END EXCERPT]
I think Pence will do whatever he and Trump have decided he should do.
Plainly we have taken leave of our senses.
What is the secret of the inner self of Pence?
In the Odd Couple movie when Jack Lemmon as Felix Ungar ended up winning the hearts of both of the Pigeon sisters and moved in with them, Oscar Madison’s poker buddy said: “I told you. It’s always the quiet ones you gotta watch. The quiet ones.”
.
He has always been loyal to Trump.
I am in love with Sidney Powell, I wish I could marry her.....LOL
If the situation were reversed and it was a Democrat vice-president, not only would they reject the electoral votes from the disputed states, but they would publicly announce that they would do it in order to save America.
The left-wing media would proclaim that person a hero and future president.
Yes and I see that he remains so.
Pence should place them on hold pending audit of the states in question. “Reject” is such a mean hostile word to all the snowflakes.
its not just the “disputed” states with a problem. Its ALL 30 states that utilize Dominion
Dominion is a national security threat
+1
Whether or not he has the prerogative under the Constitution, for the sake of his conscience he ought not have a part in the final “okay.”
BUMP!
Pence should follow the Constitution and not allow this election to be stolen.. He should order that the original Biden votes be discarded and the second batch be counted to show that you can’t cheat and get away with it.. This is not a game.. The integrity of the American voter and our elections should be upheld.. These Republican Senators need to grow a spine and be a man. Vote for Liberty and Justice and the American Way!!!
In Democrap counties in these battleground states big chunks of mail in ballots were sent to abjudication. No chain of custody logged and original fraud ballots destroyed. How can you audit that.
Agree with Sidney Powell, at minimum decertify AZ,WI,MI,PA,Ga. That puts China Joe well below 270. All of those EV’s are trashed. Contingent election gives Trump his 2nd term.
Special counsel’s and prison time for most of Democraps in Washington DC. Drain swamp into Gitmo via taxpayer funded oil pipeline.
This favors a Trump win.
