It is possible that this was part of a disinformation campaign, and she fell hard for it.

She was a repeated guest at the Trump white house, even after Trump 'fired' her (which suggests the firing was a bit of stagecraft). It is disturbing to see how such a person could get so intimately close to the seat of power.
She wasn't alone in that regard, Giuliani and others were also part of this but maybe not so specific in their accusations and interestingly did not claim actual fraud. Her expert opinions that she relied on when it came to voting machines turned out to not be experts.

Next up: the pillow guy.
What about Giulliani?

Wasn't he also pushing this lie that no reasonable person would believe?

Powell will probably be disbarred at some point. Ghouliani too.

So which category does Trump fall in?
Well - I saw this this morning and an article that Trump is desperately trying to remain “relevant” - whatever that means.....

Both he and Sidney will need to up their game - because behind bars in prison - it will get much much harder.
