Heated Oval Office meeting included talk of special counsel, martial law as Trump advisers clash

(CNN)President Donald Trump convened a heated meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, including lawyer Sidney Powell and her client, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, two people familiar with the matter said, describing a session that began as an impromptu gathering but devolved and eventually broke out into screaming matches at certain points as some of Trump's aides pushed back on Powell and Flynn's more outrageous suggestions about overturning the election.

Flynn had suggested earlier this week that Trump could invoke martial law as part of his efforts to overturn the election that he lost to President-elect Joe Biden -- an idea that arose again during the meeting in the Oval Office, one of the people said. It wasn't clear whether Trump endorsed the idea, but others in the room forcefully pushed back and shot it down.

The meeting was first reported by the New York Times.

Well ok, it is reported in CNN and reports on a New York Times story.

But hey I am laid up after a traffic accident, and it's worth a discussion perhaps.

Many things wrong in the article.
1. It is CNN
2. It says Trump is trying to overturn the election. wrong! He is simply trying to remove fraudulent votes in the mix.
3. It says election which Trump lost. Wrong again!! After the fake and fraud ballots are removed, Trump wins in a landslide.

Doesn’t sound impossible and nothing illegal was discussed.

Foreign countries interfered with and swung a POTUS election.

Everything mentioned should be on the table.

Hey CNN, President Trump didn’t “lose” the election to sleepy Joe Biden.

It was stolen from him, and all the coup plotters deserve to be locked up.

I’ve been thinking . . .

FreeRepublic should have an online dueling game, to which, Freepers who use the word “YOU” more than three times per day, are sent to fight each other.

Members of FreeRepublic (who are signed on to freerepublic.com) can click on a button/link and watch the FR gladiators, gunfighters, pugilists . . . duke it out.

Jim Robinson charges for admission.

> Fox is any better? <

It’s not, of course. And that’s a big problem. All of the major news services are covering for Biden, while trying to smear Trump. That includes Fox. None of them can be be trusted.

So we must rely on minor news services. But many of them are saying crazy things just for the hell of it. I might as well be listening to my Magic 8 Ball.

I sure miss the days when journalists followed the truth no matter where it took them.

I hope President Trump conducts a live broadcast on January 19th, dressed as General Pinochet, and announces “special measures”.

The information given by CNN is more detailed than that given by the slimes.

Given what I heard on Bannon’s war room today, the CNN version is probably closer to the truth. I think Trump better be concerned of current time lines and beware of the advice from nervous lawyers. The immediate appointment of two special investigators is a must.
