Powell and Giuliani are putting their entire livelihoods on the line here and the only thing they get is ridicule.
I know who has earned my respect. Now, if they are wrong and they continue to be successful and prosperous in their careers, I’ll know they are no different than JPod, Jonah, David, and the rest of the punditocracy that never suffer the consequences for being wrong.
Nothing ever ends.
As Mark Levin has said, conservatism is all about explaining and educating — and fighting back like Trump, one of the few Republicans willing to fight back.
It will not end. It will probably get worse. It will only end if the Right surrenders as the Left isn’t going anywhere.
There will be no James Monroe Era of Good Feelings.
These three men are supremely impressed with themselves.
Yes, I’m quite sure there’s a good reason why she hasn’t shown any evidence in a legal venue: because a lawyer can be disbarred for presenting false evidence in a court. On the other hand, there is no penalty for saying anything on a cable news show. So if she can’t go on Tucker’s show, that is telling.
They are doing nothing of the sort — they’re lawyers — this is what they do. They are (reportedly) being extremely well compensated for it. Whether or not Rudy Giuliani wants $20,000 per day as the New York Times reported, it is safe to conclude he expects to be well compensated for his work for the Trump campaign. He has a financial interest in dragging out proceedings for as long as possible.
I keep waiting for them to hold each other under the moons of Naboo.
Wow, what a great word! It’s a new one for me. Thanks, @drewinwisconsin!
So we’re signing you up?
Yeti,
I think this rap against Powell is crap. She is very experienced and I doubt she would be saying these things without the legal ammunition to back them up. What do you say we give Powell a chance to speak to Tucker’s overheated reaction.

Jim
It appears that there are some very important personages here on Ricochet who can violate the CoC and insult a good portion of the paying membership without consequence.
Election rules for thee and not for me, Mr. Smee!
Was I the only one to think of this when they were talking about Giuliani?
So, you seem to be alleging that Sidney Powell is knowingly engaging in a fraud and is fabricating or accepting evidence that she knows to be false. Do I have that right? You seem to be very close to crossing the line into defamation of character. I would caution some restraint. Ricochet is a public forum.
I think my allegedly-Lutheran grandmother was secretly Jewish.
I have one of those in my family tree, too. I’m the only one that is suspicious.
Charlotte,
Rudy Guiliani made a reasoned and documented presentation that we have had a massive fraud in this election. I don’t think a proper response to this is a criticism of his hair. The Glop Boys are just that shallow.
Do yourself a favor don’t learn from them.
Regards,
Jim
Intensive?
Maybe we can dredge up that inadvertent recording of Rob chewing you out and dropping f-bombs ahead of the show starting.
That one shed quite a light on what some of our hosts think of the proles.
Brian & Yeti,
As said to Yeti directly. Powell is a very seasoned lawyer and successful. I doubt that she would be fabricating anything. I suspect, as she says, she has massive evidence of her claims. I posted her response today once. I think I’ll do it again.
If anybody wants to make a gentleman’s bet against Sidney Powell, I’d be glad to take up the other end of it. I’m a poor man but I’ve got to make a buck once in a while. I’ll take Sidney. You can take Sino-Hawk Joe/Hunter Biden. He can’t win in court from his basement. They are dirty. Live with it.
Regards,
Jim
Eh, I’m pretty shallow too, though.
She certainly sounds like a reasonable person. I’m one of the few people who don’t like Tucker and don’t watch his show.
Charlotte,
I’m shocked at your response. Ricochet expects every man and woman to do their duty.
Don’t let the Glop Boys drag you down.
Regards,
Jim
Julia,
Tucker is strong and, often, is the best we’ve got. However, he overswung at her and has helped the worst people avoid a huge charge of fraud that in all likelihood is true. Sydney is a highly experienced, highly successful lawyer. Believe me, she isn’t the kind that would blow smoke in a presser on a subject like this. I’m sure her guns are loaded.
Regards,
Jim
Rather obscure reference, though. After listening to the podcast off line, I came here expecting to find a picture of the GLoP boys all rolled over with future President Harris rubbing their tummies.
I listened to some of the selected non-Trump ones. Those were good to OK.
However, I am always amazed at how anti-Trump Jonah is and how narrow his podcast guest list is.
…
Looking at his Twitter fees, Jonah is annoyed that former The Weekly Standard senior writer Philip Terzian doesn’t continue to bow down to Bill Kristol who went completely off the deep end in 2017 endorsing KKK/Blackface infanticider Ralph Northam.
Jonah also re-tweets the stats of…
“Let’s look at some absentee voting history.
2012: Obama received 87,487
2016: Clinton received 98,417
2020: Biden received 849,182″
and responds with a video of Gordan Ramsey called someone an Idiot Sandwich.
Yes, she indeed says she has massive evidence of her claims and Maria Bartiromo does not push back on that claim at all. Powell would not receive that level of obeisance from Tucker and she knows it. He’d push for the backup.
Which is why she isn’t on his show, which has a MUCH bigger audience.
Brian, Brian, Brian. Sidney Powell is a lawyer doing a cable TV hit. There are no restraints or penalties for saying anything on TV. So I think it’s significant that she is not repeating in court what she says on TV where there are actual penalties for lawyers presenting false evidence — including disbarment or even jail.
I know this is going to sound harsh, and you’ll be angry at me for saying it, but here goes: You are being manipulated. They are trying to rally public opinion to pressure the courts and election officials to decide in their favor. It’s sad and it’s not going to work.
At some point, R’s in the Senate, including Mitch McConnell –who have zero interest in being in the minority– are going to step in and put a stop to this once they determine that is it starting to affect the races in GA. I would expect that to occur no later than the first week in December.
Oh, no — YOU GOT ME.
Hey, who do you think put that clip in the show? Spoiler Alert: I DID. MYSELF.
Because Rob and I are close friends and I know him well enough to know that he was frustrated at the technology and that he was (in part) doing a bit. That I thought was funny. Sorry!
I think Sonny truly believes in the Bulwark mission and the Bulwark view of President Trump.
As to film criticism, Sonny seems (to me) utterly inundated with boredom for the subject both of the films being reviewed and of his own reviews. To my perception, he seems this way also in his Friday interaction with Hugh Hewitt.
I hope I am wrong
He’s no Joe Bob Briggs, that’s for sure.
Maybe you should check the definition of “friendship” there, then, sparky.
And BAZINGA! That’ll be my big tell from now on, to let you know when I think I “got you”.
All I got is some reconsideration of my Ricochet membership going on these past few days. Maybe you guys could spin up a GLoP about that one? I can call in and drop f-bombs on my friends! Because that’s what friendship is all about!
Or because they haven’t received a court date for these claims.
I thought the criticism was that she was not saying on TV what she was planning to say in court.
