| Updated: Feb. 3, 2021, 3:06 a.m. Bizarre new details are emerging about a meeting between a group of election conspiracy believers — including Patrick Byrne, former CEO of Utah-based Overstock.com — and then-President Donald Trump as they tried to convince him to order troops to intervene in ballot disputes. Among the most outlandish is that Byrne, along with attorney Sidney Powell, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney Emily Newman bluffed their way into the White House and all the way into the Oval Office without an appointment. “We had a vague plan regarding how we were going to get through all the rings of Capitol Police [note: they are not posted at the White House], Secret Service, and Marines without any invitation: Sidney and Mike were the center of global attention, and we were going to try to use that to bullshit our way past them all and get to the Oval Office,” Byrne wrote.
