If the President wants to stay President, he pretty much HAS to get in front of the Supreme Court, and he cannot afford to be associated with anything speculative, far out, or weird.
Rudy Guiliani seems to have enough evidence within his bailiwick to overturn enough elections to win Trump a second term.
And as interesting and breathtaking as Powell’s claims are, the case she needs to bring to convince jurors or judges her version of things is accurate may take months or years, and they don’t have months or years.
It is even possible one of the Supremes called Rudy or even Trump and said “look, we will hear the late ballot stuff, the trucks in the middle of the night, but we don’t want to get into servers in Germany. That would take months and we don’t have months.”
What is likely going on is a bifurcation. Powell will continue her thing on one track, and Guiliani and the rest will continue on their much shorter, much more immediately and obviously evidential path.
Put another way, the optics were bad, even if the data was and remains good. If Trump can stay in office, sooner or later Flynn will get out, and then he and she and a bunch of high powered hard chargers can start to chase the crime and rottenness out of our system.
And if Trump can’t stay in office, she can still continue her work, which does not require the approval of anyone. She just needs a plaintiff, and those are no doubt plentiful.
As someone pointed out, if she is telling reckless falsehoods, then her career is over. She will get sued by Dominion, lose, and likely be disbarred. This is ample reason to believe she is on the right track, but that track is the wrong length right now.
That is my best guess.
