Are you surprised that Donald Trump fired attorney Sidney Powell?

[BeMuse]

You can’t be fired if you were never hired to begin with. She never signed a retainer nor did she charge the campaign for expenses or fees. What you are doing is perpetuating a media smear. It’s just like the smear that Trump has lost 30 plus cases or something like that when “Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.” never filed that many cases to begin with. They are called lies... There are many individuals and organizations filing law suits in relation to the 2020 election, but only a handful are “Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.” and those cases are moving forward smoothly. Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. has filed several lawsuits that have to do with voter irregularities and constitutional law violations. They are pursuing legal issues that they hope to proved before the electoral college votes in an attempt to block certification which will force a constitutional decision in the supreme court on electoral college vote majority which Trump currently leads 232 to 227. That sort of legal decision could win the race for him. If the supreme court rules a candidate needs a 270 majority, then it could go to a contingent election which could also win the election for Trump with state delegations voting in his favor.

Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and others are running legal strategies in parallel to the President. Sidney Powell specifically is pursuing a criminal election fraud case that she plans to file by Friday of this week. It is a longer term strategy. The case would have no chance of turning over the election in the next several weeks but it could take down some corruption in the long run. All the presidents legal team did was clarify that since so many people like yourself get so easily brainwashed by the media. She made some bold claims and then the media turned the narrative against Trump like they always do trying to discredit his legal claims with someone else’ legal claims, rather than focus on just the facts. Sidney Powell is a pretty heavy hitter so I wouldn’t take her claims lightly… It will be interesting to read over the evidence as it is gradually released over time. I don’t know what she will be able to prove in court, but the RNC seems to think she has some massive amount of evidence. Time will tell...

Well yeah that's what you do when it looks like your loosing the case with your attorneys you fire them try and get other's. But the problem isn't the attorneys, the problem is there is legit no case for them to win they have nothing. But yet trump thinks magically fire and hiring people will just find evidence and win the case. Which tbf does happen but only when there is actual proof which there is none for his claims so...

he's such an idiot, sad thing is when the case gets thrown out it don't matter really. Trump still got to be president and still has billions of cash he sits on. Hopefully he goes crazy after losing and does something that get's him arrested or dead.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

I'm definitely surprised. It's strange to see him acting reasonably - it's like watching a particularly idiotic flea gain sentience.

But combined with his proper sentences in his "concession" tweet (not that you can call it that), it's kinda clear that he's given up on being president hard and other people are stepping in to do his job for him. Which, honestly, is pretty par for course.

[MsLexiD]

Nothing this clown does surprises me anymore, I just keep holding my breath that he doesn't do anything truly irreparable in the remaining 58 days that we are stuck with him...

[normalice]

A little bit. She seemed to be saying basically the same things he's been saying. Perhaps she's a scapegoat now? Her fault he lost the election kind of thing? He apparantly hired a black actor to pretend to be Obama in his first few months to yell at blame and make fun of. Hiring someone to act like a bad lawyer for pretty much the same thing wouldn't be beneath him.

[Not_Average]

Did not know this. I saw Tucker going off on her. If she’s hyping everyone up with no intention to release the evidence she’s been talking about, then she needs to go. She’s making some wild accusations.

If you cannot validate this and release the kraken already- then shut the fuck up and back off because you’re causing a lot of panic. Clinton’s did this with Russian collusion. Acted like they have substantial evidence to lock Trump in prison. Everyday, they kept
saying we’re going to release the information. If never happened.

More over, if she’s not doing her job adequately, then she needs to be replaced. Clearly, there’s voter fraud- but I don’t know if it’s substantial enough to shift results in favor of Trump.

[Dargil]

He did not fire her. It was a tactical move. It has to do with her not being financed by the Trump campaign. I agree that her allegations are a little close to the edge, but she believes that she can prove them. And she has a pretty good track record as a lawyer

[goaded]

Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre was about firing people who weren't willing to lie or break the law for him, until he found one that would.

This was just getting rid of somebody who made Guiliani look reasonable by comparison.

Was she fired? I thought the story was she was never part of the team, but that might have been yesterday.

[AlexanderAnttila]

Not when I saw what she was on about concerning massive conspiracies and millions of dead voters. I think it's good that Trump dismissed her, it displays that he's serious about the allegations and not just trying to hyperbole his way to supreme court.

[babysteph]

I’m genuinely unfazed by most of the things he does at this point. I was shocked by everything during the first two years of his term but now I’m used to him I guess

[RolandCuthbert]

Why should anyone be surprised by what he does?

I never understood why people kept claiming they were surprised by what he did over the last four years. I was like. . . "wtf, you haven't watched television in the last 30 years?"

[Anonymous]

and I bet it really burns your biscuits that she's still working along side the Trump campaign, with her focus being the Dominion fraud machines and those involved, while the Trump campaign is focusing more on the things they have time to prepare to present to the Supreme Court, huh? haha. Silly Trump-hating liberal.

Just so you know, Sydney Powell is intending to go after the corrupt Republicans as well. This is why she has to remain separate from Trump; to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest. But, being a patriotic American, who wants truth and justice, you should be in full support of this... am I right? You should want corrupt politicians to be investigated on all sides of the political spectrum and not just creaming your pants over everything you hate about Trump.

[andreasderjuengere]

I heard of cases where drowning people cling to a rescue swimmer and so they both get into trouble.
I also heard about cases where the rescuer thus knocked the drowning guy unconscious...
just saying :D
About the Don and this Sidney: I can't feel pity for any of them - they deserve each other, apparently.

[Uannoyme]

I don't know that he did. It's my understanding that what Trump's team is working on is more on a timeline to meet deadlines I'm December. Sidney Powell is working on more of a long game.

[Jjpayne]

Nope, it seems like firing is a theme for Trump even before his presidency 😂

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, doesn't surprise me one bit, I think if he ran on a different platform and got along with all people, even though he got his ways, He would have made a better US President but how can a President go golfing on his golf field knowing there is 11 Million America's sick and some passed due to COVID?

[abc3643]

No, and he was right to do it.
However, he's the captain of the Titanic now and he's going down with the ship.

[Agape93]

I don’t think he fired her, I think they’re distancing themselves from her.

[ChefPapiChulo]

this whole thing is a mess. Trump is doing anything he can to stay in power and avoid legal prosecution in New York.

[jshm2]

Trump fires anyone not willing to lie worse than him

[Drumlin2001]

How can anyine be surprised by anything he does? The only surprising move would be accept defeat and graciously assist the transitional phase to a new president

[GoodEnoughThen]

Not surprised at all. I am dissappointed that the Republicans have let their President take ovwr the GOP, rule them with bullying and fear tactics. They must feel lost as a party.

[JKingOff]

Not really. He has a habit of firing people whenever he doesn't get his way for something. It's kind of like every time something didn't go wrong for Darth Vader he'd simply just kill whoever was in charge and promote the next guy.

The man’s tag line is “You’re fired.”
If you are surprised, it’s because you have not been paying attention.
