The issue with Sidney Powell may be as simple as Georgia — at the same time Republicans are desperately trying to hold onto two Senate seats there, she’s suggesting the state’s top Republicans are part of an election rigging conspiracy.
I mean, she even suggested that Doug Collins was the rightful winner of the election, not Kelly Loeffler.

Republicans need their voters to turn out for Loeffler, not get sucked into a baseless conspiracy theory about communist vote changing software.
The idea that Trump allies are fed up because Powell didn't have evidence to back up her wild claims — as reported in this article — just doesn't hold water.

It's not like there's evidence for anything Giuliani or Ellis or Trump himself is saying either! washingtonexaminer.com/news/trump-leg…
Here's a tweet featuring Powell from the Republican Party's official account, just three days ago.

I mean, these aren't people known for their consistency. But this is still quite a logical pickle to wiggle out of.

This is the case that Rudy Giuliani personably argued in court. As I wrote at the time, it didn’t go well latimes.com/politics/story…
The judge’s decision eviscerates the Trump campaign’s arguments. @bradheath dissects it well in this thread
It turns out this tweet from another Trump campaign lawyer was not an accurate analysis of the hearing on Tuesday

President Trump takes the podium, says he'll be making the "biggest ever" announcement about prescription drug pricing.
When talking about his new regulation on prescription drugs, President Trump says, "I just hope they keep it. I hope they have the courage to keep it."

Who is "they?" Maybe the next administration?
President Trump says the pharmaceutical industry opposed him during the campaign — "which I won, by the way."

So I guess no concession today.

I noticed something strange on Twitter this morning, so I started poking around. Here’s what I found.
It started with this tweet from the president, thanking his older sister for publicly supporting him.
So I clicked the link to the website run by conservative commentator Wayne Dupree to read the purported statement from Elizabeth. The article had this odd disclaimer at the top.

A rare event — Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx are at the White House coronavirus briefing. Scott Atlas is not.

Vice President Pence is starting at the podium. President Trump isn't here.
Pence says there are "cases and hospitalizations rising across the country."

It's newsworthy whenever reality is acknowledged from behind the White House podium.
"We do not support closing schools," Pence says.

New York City just announced yesterday that schools would be closing again.

The gang is all there
There is no news at this news conference at this point. The only new — and baseless — allegation that I've heard so far is that there was a centralized plan to perpetuate voter fraud in Democratic-run cities.
Rudy Giuliani just recommended that everyone watch "My Cousin Vinny."

"It's one of my favorite law movies."

"There are 3,999 participants on this call, including you."

Time for the federal court hearing with Rudy Giuliani.
"Rudolph W. Giuliani, I represent the plaintiffs in this case."
"It's a widespread, nationwide voter fraud, of which this is a part."

Giuliani is kicking off his oral argument.
