Sidney Powell claps back at Tucker Carlson (updated): You have to decide whether to believe the Fox News personality or the lawyer who fought the federal government on General Flynn’s behalf
American Thinker ^ | 11/21/2020 | Andrea Widburg

After Trump’s legal dream team held a press conference to give an overview of the allegations about massive election fraud, the media, from CNN down to Fox went on the attack. Even Tucker Carlson attacked Sidney Powell for allegedly failing to produce evidence supporting her claims against Dominion. By Friday, Powell explained why she didn’t appear on Tucker’s show -- and what she said didn't reflect well on everyone’s favorite conservative analyst.

As always with all the news nowadays, there’s a back story here: Ever since Rupert Murdoch retired, and his left-leaning sons took over, Fox News has systematically and incrementally been recasting itself as CNN-lite. It kept the big-name conservatives front and center but, in the background, it began to tweak here and there.

Quisling Paul Ryan, a NeverTrumper, joined the Board. Donna Brazile, who helped Hillary cheat during the 2016 campaign, got added to the line-up. Newt Gingrich was censored when he tried to mention how George Soros buys left-wing prosecutors.

And then, on election night, Fox announced, all evidence to the contrary, the Biden had won Arizona. At the same time, it refused to call Florida, Ohio, and Texas for Trump, even though there was no way Biden could win in those states.

Within days, roughly 40% of Fox News’s conservative audience had abandoned it. However, the audience remained loyal to Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham, all three of whom seemed to retain their position as conservative stalwarts who were not accepting the Associated Press’s claim that Biden had won. (The entire Democrat infrastructure, from the party itself to Big Tech to the media, seems under the impression that the Founders inserted a clause in the Constitution holding that, when AP calls the election, it’s a done deal.)

Here’s the sequence of events:

* Tucker claimed that he’d politely asked Powell to produce evidence for his show, but that she’d not only rebuffed his efforts but angrily attacked him

* On Friday, Powell appeared on Maria Bartiromo’s show on Fox Business (a separate entity from Fox News) and, in Wokerati speak, “clapped back” at Tucker. According to Powell, she offered him a compelling affidavit that she hadn’t even filed with the court. She also explained that, because she is not a numbers person, she would provide him with a statistician who could competently expand upon the statistical problems with votes recorded on the Dominion systems

* On his Fridaty evening broadcast, Tucker Carlson allowed for the possibility that Sidney Powell may have the goods on genuine massive fraud. Here’s his tweet:

#Tucker: “If Sidney Powell can prove that technology companies switched millions of votes and stole a presidential election, she will have almost single-handedly uncovered the greatest crime in the history of this country and no one will be more grateful for that than us.”

Is Tucker in the CIA? Powell did call for their chief to be fired recently.

As Sidney Powell fights for our nation, Tucker fights for television ratings.

That's all I need to know about him.

For a lot of conservatives, this was a “you have to pick sides” moment. Do you pick the clever, funny, charming, interesting television personality? Or do you pick the lawyer who has argued hundreds of cases in our appellate courts and won, who forced the government to disgorge information showing that the Obama White House, the FBI, and the DOJ set up General Flynn to destroy him and to take Trump down with him?

Much as I like Tucker, I’m going with Powell on this one.

In other words, *he* won’t be helping her.

We have strict deadlines and a court case that has to be 100% perfect the first time around. It is counterproductive to get in a fight of words with some pea brain faux noise personality.

Sydney, you are disappointing me on this, you need to stay focus, be above the fray and present your evidence to the courts that matter and ignore the noise from the status quo bow tie boys

Why would Tucker assume any trial lawyer would share their evidence up front, prior to going to court, and help prepare the opposition? Tucker needs to get off his high horse. Or does he have other motives?

I wouldn’t want to tangle with that girl.

The collective ego and exaggerated high opinion the media has of themselves is sickening.

My personal opinion is the vote switching is bogus. Mostly because any hand recount would verify each machine and then transmission to the tabulator. Also there are image backups of teh paper ballots submitted.

Now manufactured mail in ballots absolutely.
