By now, most of us have seen or heard about attorney Sydney Powell’s appearance on Lou Dobbs Tonight last friday, November 13, 2020. When Dobbs suggested all the election irregularities this year could be purposeful mechanisations designed to keep Donald Trump from remaining in the White House, Ms. Powell agreed and said, “I’m going to release the kraken.” We’ve been watching the waters ever since, hopefully looking for a break in the surface to indicate a little national Justice is headed our direction. Today, Sydney Powell tweeted out a reply to the folks who’ve been asking her to pleeeeeeze unleash the beast and give Lady Liberty a breath of fresh air!
