She and Rudy went with a standard, appellate strategy. They advised Trump to take several different states, appeal on procedural grounds, and take those up to the Supreme Court. I.e. not that Trump actually won, but that the various local elections were too contaminated for any votes to be awarded. This was a cause of tremendous friction, between the team and Sidney Powell. Sidney wanted to go on a media offensive, while alleging that Trump actually won, and that those votes were provably switched to Trump. Rudy/Ellis were going for a narrow Trump win, while Sidney was out to get as many electoral votes, as possible. Maybe I’m missing something; if I am, please let me know.

Now, I’m as disappointed in Sidney and Lin Wood, as anyone here. German server raids, and all that. However, I do believe that an aggressive strategy would have been much better. At the very least, in the mindset of Trump’s supporters. We weren’t going to take back 2020, by sacrifice bunts, singles to right, and good baserunning. We needed home runs.

Now, there were certainly things that weren’t the Rudy team’s fault. Pence, the SC picks, and Pennsylvania’s rule changes, the previous year, among others. Not locking down fair election rules, the previous years, despite knowing that it was coming, is also a head scratcher.
