#KrakenOnSteroids: Twitter Ripped as Powell Reacts to Trump Team Move to Distance Itself From Her

Earlier in the day, the Trump campaign announced that lawyer Sidney Powell was not a part of its legal team, asserting that she is practising law on her own. Before that, Powell teased that the GOP allies of Trump are to soon release a so-called “Kraken” and “biblical” revelations regarding the alleged “election fraud”.

Social media exploded after Sidney Powell – an attorney that the Trump campaign distanced itself from earlier in the day – reacted to the news, issuing a press statement to CBS News, which she finished off with a hashtag – #KrakenOnSteroids.

This was enough for Twitter to propel her name to the trends, as users were not able to stop the Kraken jokes – with the former Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) head Chris Krebs, who was fired by Trump earlier in the week, being one of the first.

​The fate of the yet unreleased Kraken seemed to raise concerns among netizens.

​​​​Some immediately advised Powell to take Trump’s example and simply refuse to concede.

​Others ridiculed the fact that she injected a hashtag into a press statement.

Some netizens carped at the very definition of what a Kraken on steroids could be.

​However, the opposite group of twitterati interpreted Powell’s statement as the equivalent of a call to “trust the plan”.

​A Trump lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and a Trump campaign senior legal advisor, Jenna Ellis, released a statement earlier on Sunday, clarifying that Sidney Powell was not a member of Trump’s legal team and suggested that she was, instead, “practicing law on her own” and “is not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity”.

Before Powell could react, netizens noted that Trump, in a November tweet, explicitly referred to her as part of a team set to defend his claims of “election fraud” in the 2020 election.

Powell touted the release of her so-called “Kraken”, along with “biblical revelations”, in describing evidence of alleged “election fraud” that the Trump campaign believes was behind Joe Biden’s projected win in the 2020 election.
