    Trump Announced Sidney Powell Joined His Legal Team In 2020, Now Claims
    She Was ‘Never’ His Lawyer

    After Sidney Powell pled guilty this week to election interference,
    Trump claimed she was never on his legal team. That's not what he said
    in 2020


    "To Donald Trump, the truth is whatever he decides it is. In the wake of
    Sidney Powell‘s plea deal and despite claiming that she had joined his
    legal team in 2020, the former president is now alleging she was “never” his attorney.

    “Despite the Fake News reports to the contrary… MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS. In fact, she would have been conflicted,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday morning.

    Trump also said that Powell “was one of millions and millions of people
    who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that
    the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN [sic], AND OUR
    COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!!” (The election
    was decidedly not stolen and was, in fact, “the most secure in American history.”)

    Contrary to what he claims now, in 2020 Trump sent out a tweet stating
    that Powell was a member of “a truly great team, added to our other
    wonderful lawyers and representatives.” Powell was listed by name
    alongside two of Trump’s other attorneys, Rudy Guiliani and Jenna Ellis.

    Powell would go on to spearhead many of the nonsensical efforts in court
    to overturn the free and fair 2020 election. According to CNN, Powell
    was “briefly an official member” of Trump’s legal team in 2020 before
    she was removed by the Trump campaign, which said that she was
    “practicing law on her own.”

    I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend
    OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova,
    Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team,
    added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!

    Orange jesus is continually rewriting history. The collective memory of his cult is likely to be less than a week, so they're just fine with this. They don't have to pay any attention to history because orange jesus will tell them everything they
    need to know. So they have more time for important stuff. You know, like drag queens, beer and football.

    Sidney was a small fish with a big mouth. She was on the team so briefly that she barely made a blip on the radar. My understanding is that she was so unhinged that she even managed to stand out on that "team". People quickly started avoiding her
    and the next thing she knew she was on the outside looking in. That article looks to be a pretty good description of her role:
