Washington Examiner interviews Trump lawyer Sidney Powell in podcast exclusive by Spencer Neale
Trump lawyer Sidney Powell laid out the case behind the president’s claims of election rigging in a wide-ranging interview with the Washington Examiner on Friday.
Larry O’Connor, host of the Washington Examiner’s Examining Politics, referenced articles from the New York Times and HuffPost that alleged a backdoor in Dominion Voting Systems used in several key battleground states could have been exploited to create vote tallies “that did not exist.”
Powell said those are part of the allegations being brought by the Trump campaign.
“Their system even admits, their own training manual admits, that people can go in and do that. That people can go in and put all kinds of votes in a ‘trash’ folder and then ‘trash’ them,” Powell said. “There are devices on the internet that can be used to see it, and we have multiple people who actually saw it as it was happening. We essentially have some pictures of it, and it is terrifying, and it is a huge national security issue. Why have the Department of Justice and the FBI not done something on this immediately?”
Responding to O’Connor’s question about reports of “overvotes or overballots” in key voting precincts that recorded “200% to 300% turnout,” Powell said it was a combination of different types of fraud.
“It’s probably attributable to fraudulent mail-in ballots or computer alterations of the vote. Either one is distinctly possible, and, of course, we have a lot of dead people voting. But that’s not what my case is really based on — that’s certainly one of the issues in the case, a scheme to defraud the people of their legal vote because people had to go out and affirmatively fill in ballots of people that they knew were dead and then file them, and each one of them is a federal crime punishable by five years in prison, if I recall correctly.”
Powell said that although there are many ways in which the voters were defrauded of a fair election, her representation in the president’s case focuses on the use of voting machines that have been mired in controversy since the day of the election.
Powell said Dominion “is moving” operations in an effort to hide from accusations of fraud and accused the company of “shredding documents and God knows what else.” She accused Dominion of being “foreign-owned” but operating as a shell company in the United States with ties to George Soros.
“They share office space with one of George Soros’s groups,” Powell said. “His No. 2 man heads up an operation out of England, but the money for it was all funded from Venezuela, and Cuba, and communists. We’ve got an eyewitness to all of it who has given a foreign affidavit that he saw it all done, and the purpose it was done for was to rig elections.”
Powell said she has no knowledge of whether federal investigators have prosecuted any people for election crimes but said that she wouldn’t be surprised because of the evidence she has seen of criminal actions taken to defraud voters of a fair election.
“I can’t imagine people haven’t been apprehended and arrested and indicted already for some of these clearly easily provable outrageous crimes to set an example for others to know they can’t go around doing this.”
Powell said she had videos and “all kinds of” evidence being sent to her team, which she said was having trouble keeping up with allegations of rampant electoral fraud in several key battleground states.
“The information is coming in at a faster rate than our little team can even process it,” Powell said. “Americans are fed up with the corruption, they are starting to report it and come forward and give evidence.”
Powell also touched on a Thursday appearance with Fox News host Tucker Carlson that turned snippy as Carlson pushed for Powell to show evidence of her claims on air.
“I had been corresponding with him, I sent him one of the affidavits, one of the most important affidavits in response to his request, and then I got some very nasty, rude, condescending, and arrogant, and demeaning messages from him that I simply did not appreciate or have time to deal with,” Powell said. “So, I offered him another witness that I thought would be able to explain and answer his questions, and he still continued to insult me, and I just told him not to contact me further, and right now, I can assure you, when I have something else to say, it will not be on [the] Tucker Carlson show.”
