Be careful who you listen to and take careful note of who tells you what and where it comes from. Byrne is painting a picture that only comes from himself. Patrick Byrne appears to be attacking Rudy because Byrne wasn't included on the inside team and was let go after that WH meeting. He's the only source for the story that there was a rift in the team, which he says had two sides wanting to go in different directions. He attacks Rudy and claims Rudy only wanted to go after the process crimes, and sucks up to Sidney, who is dealing with the voter-fraud crimes. He claims that he, Sidney Powell, and Mike Flynn wanted to do a televised election count, but the idea was brushed off. This is the appearance of things, according to him. Let's look at things more closely... Rudy has spent most of his time investigating the Biden crimes, both in the Ukraine and China. He's had very little to do with the election fraud case, other than talk about it and help with some court-related stuff. He's been sitting on Hunter's laptop and a lot of evidence from the Ukraine and China, and most of us have forgotten that because everything went silent about it when new events arose. He's made a number of podcasts where he focused on the election fraud and talked about process crimes. That led everyone to forget about the other stuff and think he was involved in the election fraud, dealing with process crimes. Perhaps he was, but it was mostly for optics. The Biden investigation will become a big part of things later on, but for now it's better that people (particularly the DS) forget about it and focus on the election fraud, and more importantly, the impeachment. Note that Byrne quoted Rudy saying, *"You can never prove election fraud in a courtroom."* This is part of his basis for claiming that Rudy is incompetent. But of course, Rudy knows (and probably Byrne doesn't) that it won't be proven in a courtroom but in a military tribunal. Byrne is very likely unaware that the military is in charge and that the Insurrection Act was called. This all goes much deeper than just election fraud. Meanwhile, Sidney Powell has been gathering evidence related to election fraud and building up a solid case. I don't believe she was cut off from the WH like we were made to think, but was rather set aside with the evidence until the time comes to introduce it. Again, it's all optics, leading certain people to think that nothing will come of it. Right after that WH meeting, things took a spin. Trump was banned from social media and others on his team soon followed. Byrne and Wood were allowed to continue to have a public voice, and they both went in their own directions. Wood started making wild claims against certain people based on rumors we've all heard, while Byrne started yammering it up about his own importance in the election fraud case, eventually making the personal attacks against Rudy and others that we see now. But he still kisses Sidney's ass because he thinks that's his one possible way back in the door. He also stays on Flynn's good side because Flynn probably oversaw whatever work Byrne did with his cyber-team, and so it would be better not to trample him as well because Byrne wouldn't want to end up exposing people who may have been involved with him in other crooked deals in the past. It could get very bad for Byrne if he's a plant so he has to tread carefully among Trump's inner circle while still staying connected to his own people. He still has a rope around his neck that the DS holds. It should be noted that Byrne's claim that Rudy is a drunk is based solely on the hearsay of another unnamed person who allegedly told him that Rudy had 3 triple scotches one night, and that he *thinks* he smelled booze on him another time. Big deal. He plays on the fact that Rudy is getting old and makes suggestions that he's incompetent. Very weak arguments meant to lead his audience to think the same. If you don't like Rudy for whatever reason you'll likely accept his claims without question and without concrete reasons. That's basic psychology at work, and Byrne seems to know a thing or two about psyops. I think that Byrne, who came into the picture only because he confessed to Trump about an illegal blackmail deal he was involved in with Hilary, was allowed by Trump to work his way into the deeper circles by volunteering himself, his people, and his money. Why would Trump trust him so quickly after what he confessed to? He wouldn't. Trump was watching him and weighing him while making use of him, and Byrne was led to believe (or hoping) that he was more useful and important than he actually was. Trump may have posed Rudy as an alternative option in the strategy, creating an apparent split in the team that allowed Trump to test Byrne. Byrne failed or was no longer of use and was discarded from the team after that WH meeting. If Byrne's plan was to get deep inside Trump's inside circles and then pass information to his handlers, he would be pissed off and even desperate (under his circumstances) to create doubt and suspicion about people in Trump's team at this point, particularly those closest to Trump. But he worked closely with Sidney and he still feels he has a shot there so he's soft on her, and Flynn could raise concerns about him so he doesn't rattle his name too much either. LuDe Media dropped a hint a while back (at about the time of the WH meeting) warning that there was a plant in the Trump team, someone with deep ties to China and a lot of money. I immediately thought of Patrick Byrne, who by his own admission spent a lot of time in China in the past, speaks the language fluently, and who, by the way, calls Warren Buffet his mentor (his 'rabbi'). Warren Buffet is deeply tied in with the DS. What sense would it make for Trump to keep Byrne around after his usefulness in the election-fraud investigation? What sense did it make to even include him? The answer is that it allowed Trump (through Flynn) to look deeper into who and what Byrne was involved in. It allowed Trump's team to learn what people Byrne was tied to, while Byrne (if he was a plant) might have thought it would allow him to gain information on Trump's strategy and pass it on to others, perhaps even derail it. Whether or not Byrne is a plant, he's using his rejected idea of redoing the ballot count on live TV as an excuse for his animosity and the creation of doubt about Trump's team. He tells us that Flynn accepted the idea, and perhaps Flynn led Byrne to think he did, but if the goal has always been military tribunals, and this has been kept very secret, then Byrne would need to be kept out of it and led to think that the courtroom was the goal. No one outside of Trump's inner circle knows whether or not the Insurrection Act has been called and the military are in control. We see signs that something isn't right with the Biden Administration and guess that this is the case. The impeachment would therefore be another stage in the plan, and everything that Byrne is saying is beside the point. But to cast doubt on members of Trump's team seems to fit another purpose, one that suggests that Byrne is totally out of the loop and has a deep level of animosity (and possibly fear) because of it. As a plant he failed, and may have jeopardized those he works for. Remember who he is, and where he came from. He was involved in shady deals with Hilary at least once, so he's probably got other shady deals in his past that he hasn't confessed to, and is therefore still owned by someone. Things took a spin after that WH meeting and Byrne started yammering more and more about problems among Trump's team while Trump and others were cut off from communicating to the public, so it's his word only. I could be wrong that Byrne was a plant, and I may not have said enough about every point I tried to make above, but nonetheless there's a lot that needs to be considered about Byrne's one-sided claims than his face-value accounts.
