President Trump is a big fan of his ex-national security adviser’s new lawyer Sidney Powell, a “GREAT LAWYER.”

“Best Wishes and Good Luck to them both!” he tweeted early Thursday.

The praise for Michael Flynn’s new attorney, who will represent him in an impending sentencing hearing once his cooperation with the government is complete, comes as no surprise. Powell, as TPM reported, has been an outspoken Twitter critic of special counsel Robert Mueller and the Justice Department for years.

    So Sidney Powell is really Tony the Tiger? Or she’s the frosted flakes?

    He only knows who she is because she’s on the TV machine.

  2. I’ll bet she’s no Bruce Cutler.

    I don’t know why but I sort of expect her to show up in court without first being admitted to the DC bar. That’d sure make her popular with the judge she’ll be facing, he of such good humor and who so gladly suffers fools.

  3. Somebody’s been watching Clear and Present Danger again…

  4. Sidney Powell: Sugar Frosted Flake.
