Lawyer Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to reduced charges Thursday over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election in Georgia, becoming the second defendant in the sprawling case to reach a deal with prosecutors.
Powell, who was charged alongside Trump and 17 others with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law, entered the plea just a day before jury selection was set to start in her trial. She pleaded guilty to six misdemeanors accusing her of conspiring to intentionally interfere with the performance of election duties.
As part of the deal, she will serve six years of probation, will be fined $6,000 and will have to write an apology letter to Georgia and its residents. She also agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.
That seems like a pretty sweet deal. The implication I draw is that she has some testimony that is well worth the deal. And possibly, with misdemeanors only, she'll not be disbarred. As far as I recall, she's licensed in Texas, which probably requires either a homicide conviction for killing a white person or theft of client's funds for a disbarment.
The reaction in the MAGA Universe should be epic.
As for the rest of us, schadenfreude is the beverage tonight.

ReplyDeleteI won't count my chickens until she is on the stand.
Does anyone think that she won't be threatened now by her former fellow perpetrators?
ReplyDeleteI love the way they are falling like Dominoes now. No honor among these crooks at all. I can't wait for the collected testimonies of the talkers to be used against Donny in court. I expect he will blow his last cork then.
