Sidney Powell pleads guilty in deal with prosecutors over efforts to overturn Trump loss in Georgia
Lawyer Sidney Powell has pleaded guilty to reduced charges over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election in Georgia.
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 recorded a statement for prosecutors and agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.
Hahahahahaha ReLeAsE tHe KrAcKeN Sidney! ReLeAsE tHe KrAcKeN!
79The letter to Georgia seems kinda wild these days considering she could just have chatGPT do it.
14Dear fellow citizens of Georgia,
I, Sydney Powell, am writing this letter to extend my deepest apologies for my role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. I recognize that my actions have caused significant concern and division, and I take full responsibility for my misguided involvement.
In addition to acknowledging my mistakes, I must also address my association with former President Donald Trump in these efforts. It has become clear to me that President Trump's repeated false claims about the 2020 election results in Georgia and other states contributed to the confusion and distrust that surrounded the election process. I hereby cut all ties with him and distance myself from these false claims.
I want to emphasize that the foundation of our democracy rests on the principles of fair and free elections, and it is the duty of every citizen to honor and protect these principles. My actions in the past were inconsistent with these values, and I deeply regret any harm I may have caused to our nation and its citizens.
I apologize to the American people for any doubts and divisions my actions may have created. It is my sincere hope that we can come together as a nation, putting aside political differences and working towards a stronger, more united democracy that truly reflects the will of the people.
I am committed to learning from this experience and ensuring that such actions are not repeated. I believe in the importance of respecting the will of the voters and the integrity of our electoral system. It is imperative that we move forward with a spirit of unity, transparency, and cooperation.
Once again, I extend my sincerest apologies to the people of our great nation for my involvement in the 2020 election controversy. I hope that, over time, I can regain your trust and contribute to a better future for the United States.
Sincerely,
9Yeah I just imagine her doing the South Park I'm sorry routine.

I became a cringe singularity when I heard her say that good lord women
8No need to release the kraken, she's just getting probation not incarceration.
4All she'll be releasing now is her ankle monitor every month at her probation meetings

Nobody wants to see that, man.

Jack Smith has a new cooperative witness. One that can't take the 5th.
66Forget the Kraken, I think Sidney is about to release the Great Old Ones all over the remaining defendants
53I thought it would be the "Downfall" video, but this works too.

We know Cheez Bro turned down an offer of 3 years probation. I wonder if Kraken got the same offer or if it's only 72% as good as his.
Also wondering if Cheese Burrow is happy or sad that he'll now be on trial alone.
50The deal would have allowed Chesebro to avoid prison time by pleading guilty to one felony count of racketeering, the top charge in the indictment, according to the sources.
Kraken pleaded guilty to all misdemeanor crimes. That's a huge difference.
18
The fact she didn't plead guilty to any felony charges seems important to me.
Did the DA agree to only misdemeanor charges in order to get her to plead? Chesebro rejected a deal of probation in exchange for a felony guilty plea.
39I don't think they care about this one. Her reputation is utterly destroyed, she's broke, and no news organizations would use her as a source for anything.
They got Trump and the rest of his merry band of assholes dead in their sights
34They got Trump and the rest of his merry band of assholes dead in their sights
They will get some severe finger-wagging pointed in their direction while they continue trying to dismantle American democracy.
13
I hope it's because she has some crazy ass documents that were new to the government.
She's so well known as a whack job that her testimony alone doesn't mean much, unless Willis etc are chumps, Powell showed up with hard evidence.

Just a flashback I've been doing since Nixon. 🤣
16
Time to check rightwing social media and feast on the cope
24Tldr?
3Pretending they saw through her nonsense from the start
Saying these are just misdemeanour charges so it's all a nothingberger
Seems like there is a major feeling like they've lost and have no hope of winning anything more than state politics for the foreseeable future.

Re-leash the kraken!
22should’ve stuck to gerrymandering, the legal kind of election tampering

18I don't normally think of a woman's face as punchable, but man she's got the most punchable looking face I've seen in a while.
16Oh my God! What the hell is she doing with her...face?
2She doing crazy

There goes that speedy trial. Makes sense now that she did that to angle for a faster plea deal. Saved herself potentially dying in prison. Cheese bro really really should take the plea too https://www.ajc.com/news/judge-rejects-request-to-dismiss-charges-against-chesebro-powell/QO2F5HTS65BBHCVS7W3KU35LEE/
If chesebro thinks that
For example, Chesebro argued that one charge against him – conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer – was improper because the Republican electors were, in fact, electors under federal law but never claimed to be Georgia’s certified presidential electors.
is going to save him from a jury, he's fucked.
13I think that legal theory is intended to prevent the trial from even reaching a jury. This was in a motion to get the case tossed out of state court, citing the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

I'm very annoyed with the slap on the wrist of a punishment here. How is there no jail time? Unless she has the smoking gun on Trump and turned it over, no fuck, even if she did have that this is unacceptable!
13This is how RICO works. The sooner you flip, the better your deal. Also, the more info you give up against the big fish, the better your deal. Powell has the advantage of both flipping early relative to everyone else and being one of the key players in the Big Lie even if she didn't have a lot to do with the fake electors scheme.
32I feel you - she’s nuts and drove the clown car in 2020.
But would you rather have DJT and Ghouliani, or Sidney Powell in jail for the remainder of their gross unnatural lives? Direct testimony against the rest of them helps secure convictions.
The MAGAts will turn on her and make her freedom unpleasant regardless, just waiting for a tweet/truth/x/wtfever from dear leader.
It’s ain’t enough but it’s a start, after 7 years of waiting for consequences.
17I want them all in jail! Not sure what more one needs then the phone call of him bullying an elected official to change the vote count...
3A kraken of harassment is coming. When all is said and down she can go on TV to do an interview for the voting machine folks to get paid.

Is this "the kraken" she was referring to?
11Lol, get fucked.
10Hmmm... She may be a better lawyer than I gave her credit for. At the very least she's a better advocate for herself than she was for Trump.
9Dominooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
8This is the best summary I could come up with:
ATLANTA (AP) — 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 was initially charged with racketeering and six other counts as part of a wide-ranging scheme to keep the Republican president in power after he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.
The acceptance of a plea deal is a remarkable about-face for a lawyer who, perhaps more than anyone else, strenuously pushed baseless conspiracy theories about a stolen election in the face of extensive evidence to the contrary.
A lower-profile defendant in the case, bail bondsman Scott Graham Hall, last month pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor charges.
The indictment says a person who is not named sent an email to a top SullivanStrickler executive and instructed him to send all data copied from Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Coffee County to an unidentified lawyer associated with Powell and the Trump campaign.
The original article contains 393 words, the summary contains 203 words. Saved 48%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
7Marge, I was there - the clown is G-I-L-L-T-Y.
6Glad Sidney is guilty.
5Hell of a deal for trying to overturn democracy. But they want the
bigfat fish more.5Woohoo!
5This one wins first post. All others will be removed and directed here! Good job @TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee, I wasn't even AWAKE yet!

Donald Trump is going to die in custody.
1I still can't bring myself to believe that, Trump never ever actually experiences consequences.
But Giuliani? I believe he's going to prison for sure.
