A defendant charged alongside former President Donald Trump in Georgia has pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman, is the first person to reach a plea deal in the case, in which Trump and 18 others were charged with racketeering conspiracy for their efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
...
Part of the plea deal requires Hall to testify against others at future trials or hearings of “any co-defendants” in the election racketeering case. The felony charges against Hall were dropped as part of the agreement.
Trump was not mentioned by name during Hall’s plea hearing, but a Fulton County prosecutor did mention co-defendant and former Trump attorney Sidney Powell as being involved in the alleged scheme to gain access to Dominion voting machines in Coffee County, Ga.
The key for this guy, as a bail bondsman, is that, if he was convicted of a felony, he might have had to give up his business and he damn sure would have given up his right to possess a gun.
If this guy is a credible witness with direct kowledge of what Powell did, will Powell choose to ride the rap to protect the TOFF or will she now flip?
The wheel is spinning. Place your bets.
Powell is too loyal and too dumb to flip. I’d bet on Mike Roman or Jenna Ellis next.
ReplyDeleteIf we still use the three level game theory payoff matrices, this appears to go the third level. What foxes are among the hens? Lawyers aren't known for game theory skills. What's the VIX vector?
ReplyDeleteVIX is the ticker symbol and the popular name for the Chicago Board Options Exchange's CBOE Volatility Index, a popular measure of the stock market's expectation of volatility based on S&P 500 index options. It is calculated and disseminated on a real-time basis by the CBOE, and is often referred to as the fear index or fear gauge.

Powell and Ellis are both attorneys who will lose their licenses if convicted of felonies.

Which will all be expunged, commuted, dismissed, etc when the orange one is returned to power.
ReplyDeleteI'm even seeing some cracking in the armor of some of my MAGA ex coworkers. But, and it's a big but, They are still going to vote for him at this time. They simply can't take a chance on
biden seeing as how much life has changed since 2020. and these are guys in their 50's and 60's. Abortion directly affects them and the fact that the big beautiful border wall (all 2000 miles of it) has been dismantled by lyin Biden. Coupled with the fact that corruption in the White house is now the name of the game, unlike 2016-2020. And another thing........
Oh boy! Like March Madness! We need a playoff (ratoff? ratout?) grid so we can all bet. The prize of course, is not money but the glee of seeing dominoes fall and hearing cell doors slam.
