Could someone explain the Kraken reference?
I believe Trump's legal team was referred to as the Kraken. They were going to be a powerful force if only there had been any facts to support their claims.
It was from Sidney Powell. She filed some baseless lawsuit regarding the election and claimed she was going to "release the kraken".
I think the Q crowd latched on to that and it was just particularly hashtag-able.
