After Giuliani's segment ended, Powell took the lectern and alleged, without evidence, that an international communist plot to rig the 2020 election had been engineered by Cuba, China, Venezuela, Hugo Chávez (who died in 2013), George Soros and the Clinton Foundation.[12][54] She also alleged that Dominion Voting Systems "can set and run an algorithm that probably ran all over the country to take a certain percentage of votes from President Trump and flip them to President Biden".[55] The source for many of these claims appeared to be far right news organization One America News Network (OANN).[12] She also repeated a conspiracy theory[56]—spread by Congressman Louie Gohmert, OANN and others[57]—that election results showing a landslide victory for Trump had been transmitted to the German office of the Spanish electronic voting firm Scytl, after which a company server was supposedly seized in a raid by the United States Army.[12] The US Army and Scytl refuted these claims;[58] Scytl has not had any offices in Germany since September 2019 and does not tabulate US votes.[59][60]
Later that evening on his Fox News program Tucker Carlson Tonight, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said he had invited Powell onto the show to provide proof of her allegations. After repeated requests, Powell became angry and said to "stop contacting her", Carlson stated. Carlson's team contacted other figures in the Trump campaign who said that Powell had given them no evidence for her allegations.[61]

Nothing surprising in all this. But really? Can someone name a president that wasn’t also a criminal?
