People who’ve been grilled by Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team agree: Powell should be prepared for criminal charges over her actions surrounding the 2020 election

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation appears to be zeroing in on Sidney Powell, a conspiracy-theory-obsessed lawyer who was a key figure in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

    Article doesn’t mince words. Some choice quotes. One person gave investigators:

    …details regarding Powell’s private behavior as she aided Trump’s attempts to subvert the 2020 election outcome. According to Parlatore, the ex-commissioner did not mince words: “During Bernie Kerik’s interview with the special counsel’s office, the issue of a possible mental health break and change in her demeanor and personality was discussed,” the attorney says.

    In documents obtained during Dominion Voting Systems’s defamation lawsuit against Fox News, attorneys for the company discovered that Powell had relayed “far-fetched” claims about the 2020 election to Fox host Maria Bartiromo based on an eccentric “source” who claiming that “The Wind tells me I’m a ghost” and that “I was internally decapitated, and yet, I live.”

    Parlatore adds that during the investigators’ multi-hour interview with his client, the word “lunatic” was indeed used to describe Powell.

    And, finally,

    Or, as one source who’s been in the room recently with federal investigators succinctly puts it: “Sidney’s fucked.”

        Williamson is old news. There are quite a few MAGA psychics plying their trade these days. Hell, Charlie Kirk likes to talk about how Witches are conjuring portals to allow demons into the world.
