Enjoy.)Tucker Carlson decided to criticize Trump Attorney Sidney Powell on his primetime Fox News program on Thursday night. Carlson claimed Powell “got angry and refused to provide evidence for voting software flipping votes.” That’s when Powell fired back at Carlson. You don’t want to miss this.
Tucker Carlson has previously used his primetime Fox News show to air segments on UFOs. But what about allegations of nefarious individuals stealing the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden? Well, that’s not to be believed until someone hand feeds him undeniable evidence.
On Thursday night, Tucker Carlson told his audience he invited Attorney Sidney Powell on his show to share evidence of elections software flipping votes. Tucker’s attitude was condescending. He claimed she “got very angry” and refused to provide evidence for voting software flipping votes.
Carlson also claimed he repeatedly reached out to Powell for evidence of her claim and invited her on the show. He said her claim “could amount to the single greatest crime in American history” if it were true.
“When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her,” Carlson said. “When we checked with others around the Trump campaign, people in positions of authority, they told us Powell has never given any evidence either. Nor did she provide any today.”
Is that the truth? Why is Carlson trashing Powell and making these allegations? Who are these “people in positions of authority” that Carlson claims told him Powell “has never given any evidence?”
A good attorney never shows the evidence before going to court. They tell you what their evidence will show. Which is what that news conference was all about on Thursday. Trump attorney Jenna Ellis said: “This is our opening statement.” You don’t show the other side what you have…that’s just common sense.
Sidney Powell put out a statement late Thursday night.
“Apparently Mr. Carlson missed the news conference today,” Powell said. “I would continue to encourage him and all journalists to review all the materials we have provided so far and conduct their own investigations.”
“Evidence continues to pour in, but a 5-minute television hit is not my focus now,” Powell continued. “Collecting evidence and preparing the case are my top priorities.”
On Friday morning, Sidney Powell joined Maria Bartiromo on her Fox News show.
“How did you respond to Tucker Carlson? Did you get angry with the show because they texted you and asked you to provide evidence of what you’re alleging?” Bartiromo asked.
“No, I didn’t get angry with the request to provide evidence,” Powell stated. “In fact, I sent an affidavit to Tucker that I had not even attached to a pleading yet to help him understand the situation, and I offered him another witness who could explain the mathematics of the statistical evidence far better than I can. I’m not really a numbers person.”
“But he was very insulting, demanding, and rude and I told him not to contact me again in those terms,” Powell added.

Michelle Malkin blasted “certain TV personalities” on Friday morning.
“This is a plan that has been in place for decades, and this machine was not created overnight. The plan has been implemented in other countries as well,” Malkin claimed. “It’s a herculean task to put it all together. And unfortunately, there has a been a failing of the establishment Republican Party to make it a priority to expose how all of these different cogs in the machine worked together.”
“We have reached a critical point in exposing this entire machine and the plan,” Malkin alleged. “And it’s not going to take 24 or 48 hours or even a week to build that case. So, there are certain TV personalities who think they should be privy to every last scrap of information that’s coming across now, and I say well, where were you in making it a priority in the last 25 to 30 years.”
We cannot verify the accuracy of Malkin’s statements. The existence or absence of election fraud will likely be determined by the courts, not by the media.
Dominion backed out of testifying in Pennslyvania.
“UPDATE: At 10 pm last night we were informed that Dominion Voter Systems backed out of testifying before the House State Govt Comm. There will be a House press conf at 10 am TODAY to address Dominion’s failure to appear,” tweeted Pennslyvania State Rep. Valerie Gaydos.

“Rep. Dawn Keefer: Transparency is key for our election security. Dominion Voting Software is asking us to give them only blind trust. We’re very disappointed in Dominion’s last minute cancelation in today’s hearing,” tweeted PA House Republicans.
GOP State Rep. Dawn Keefer on Dominion: “How tightly controlled is the source code and who has control over the source code?”

Dominion backing out of answering questions from the PA state legislature sure seems like a company that is trying hard to hide something. We wonder if Tucker Carlson will investigate why they backed out of this hearing.
As for TV news personalities, they may need to remind themselves that it is their job to do the investigating. The Watergate crimes would not have ever been exposed except for the hard-working investigative journalists who risked their lives to get to the truth.
As Michelle Malkin pointed out, Sidney Powell and the other Trump team attorneys have taken on a “herculean task.” They are busy putting in 16 hour days hunting down all the evidence on many fronts while also paying attention to court filings and interviewing witnesses. It’s so sad that Tucker Carlson has to make this about him and not about saving the Republic from one of the greatest frauds in American history.
