Do you think Sidney Powell is a complete nut? So does Laura Ingraham. Do you think Rudy Giuliani is full of shit? So does a Lou Dobbs producer. Think the allegations of voter fraud are Bullshit?

Fox finds the texts or they graciously (as honest people of good will) remove the word "News" from their name. Simple.
