During that bizarre presentation, Giuliani and Sidney Powell, another member of the Trump campaign’s “elite strike force team,” crystallized the craziness of the president’s stolen-election fantasy by describing a baroque international conspiracy that supposedly had delivered a fraudulent victory to Joe Biden.

They should be ashamed of themselves. That’s why I am preparing criminal referrals as the culmination of my investigation,” Comer wrote in the email, which was first…
