Talked to Mike Lindell this evening. He said lawyer gave him notes to share with POTUS but repeatedly wouldnt say what lawyer. He said he met with Trump for 5-10 minutes and then was referred to counsels office. Said the lawyers were disinterested, very disinterested.

Lindell said he gave POTUS this document & also provided to me. Said, falsely, it was clear Biden lost and Trump won by 11 million votes. Said the truth would one day come out. After meeting with WH lawyers, who he said werent interested, he wasnt let back in to see POTUS.

(102,291 posts)1. Pat Cipollone is an a'hole, but at least he is competent and not engaging in this seditious nonsense
Good.

Until then it must be taken seriously.

Replying to @maggieNYT
Lindell tells me that he was carrying the notes for an attorney he's been working with to prove the election was really won by Trump, wouldn't say who it was. Said some of it related to reports Trump is now unable to see because he doesn't have Twitter.

Lindell insists the papers he was holding, which were photographed and visible, didn't reference "martial law." An administration official says they definitely referenced martial law.

(23,420 posts)6. I think I'll choose not to believe him.
Even that act of disclosing such notes referencing martial law heightens the likelihood of violence.

So this born again Christian is a liar? Sounds about right.

Pathological lying is their only ally right now. They can't stop themselves.

Wednesdays
(17,380 posts)9. Sounds like a hastily crafted story to obfuscate
the news about the photo of him carrying those talking notes. Some points in their alibi don't jive with what we saw in the photo.

in one of his pillows.
