Pool does fine reporting, but I'm going to defer to lawyers on this topic.

And I don't know where you get the idea that Powell wasn't part of the President's legal team. Are you calling the President a liar?

Whoah. A tweet that wasn't disputed by @Jack's organization, that bastion of fact checking.

Powell wasn't representing Trump. However, she is definitely on "Team Patriot".


a) Trump is a primary source of what Trump said; there's no fact checking involved. You either take Trump as a reliable source of info about himself, or you don't. If you don't, this entire conversation is moot because you're claiming a guy who can't even tell who his legal team is is playing 4D chess. If you're trusting some "my mother's cousin's sister works at the Pentagon and she heard what's really going on is" source over the words of the plaintiff in these cases, that's your problem.

b) Check the dates of the tweet vs. the headline. She was on his legal team; now she's not. Kicked off. Incompetent hiring isn't 4D chess.

Honestly, this is the problem with QAnon. If the only way to conclude the dumbest guy in the room is actually the smartest guy in the room is to assume he's the smartest guy in the room and to work backwards to figure out how that might possibly be true, Occam's Razor suggests we already have our answer.
