An Oval Office meeting Friday turned into a verbal melee among Trump, pardoned felon Michael Flynn, White House counsel Pat Cippolone, chief of staff Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani (who joined by phone) and, finally, QAnon believer and election-conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell.
The points discussed:
-- Flynn urged Trump to impose martial law and re-do the election so Trump would win.
-- Trump talked about naming Sidney Powell as Special Counsel (bypassing Attorney General Barr, who shuffles out of office on Wednesday).
-- Rudy Giuliani advised against elevating Powell. She was fired from the Trump election-fighting legal group because of her wildly imaginative ideas about election fraud. (It was an apparent case of "it takes one to know one.")
-- Cippolone and Meadows argued furiously against both martial law and Powell.
These people were screaming at each other in the Oval office! You'd be hard put to find a bunch of greedier, seedier people outside a prison yard.
White House Security may need to call the National Zoo for a tranq gun to stop the GOP elephants from charging each other indoors. Otherwise, they might break the furniture.
