What Sidney Powell’s Deal Could Mean for the Fulton County Case Against Trump
The Atlantic ^ | David A. Graham

Posted on 10/19/2023 11:08:35 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Sidney Powell, the attorney who used that catchphrase for her work to overturn the 2020 presidential election, pleaded guilty today to six misdemeanors in Fulton County, Georgia, as part of a sweeping racketeering case against Donald Trump and 16 others. Under the terms of the deal, Powell admitted she conspired to breach the election systems in Coffee County, Georgia. She recorded a proffer video with prosecutors that described the crimes and she agreed to testify at future cases. She also wrote an apology letter to citizens of Georgia and agreed to pay almost $9,000 in fines.

The plea deal appears to be a very good one for Powell—letting her off with only misdemeanors, which can be wiped from her record as a first offender if she complies with the terms of the agreement. She was set to go on trial tomorrow, alongside the lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, who is accused of designing a scheme to submit false electors on behalf of Trump. (Powell still faces defamation charges from manufacturers of voting machines, and she’s an unindicted co-conspirator in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal case against Trump.)

“It’s a great deal. If I were her, I’d be very pleased,” Anthony Michael Kreis, a law professor at Georgia State, told me. “It’s a great outcome especially if you’re engaged in what most people would say are obvious felonies.”

The question is what it gives prosecutors. Although today’s plea doesn’t offer the public any new information about the prosecutors’ case or the evidence they have, it seems to have a potential to affect the overall Fulton County case in three ways. In short, Kreis told me, “I think there are a lot of people who are in more trouble than they were before.”

“It wouldn’t surprise me if Ivanka and Jared throw Trump under the bus if a time comes where doing so would save them.”

That’s how the Amerikan “”justice”” system works now under the demonic Democrat cretins. You’ll have to turn on your own people just to save yourself from the threat of tyrannical prison sentences for ‘trumped-up’ charges. It’s the communist method of control of the people on steroids. And it’s happening despite our 2nd Amendment rights... since.. your right to self-defense apparently doesn’t apply when it’s against “Government”.

where have I said otherwise, good lawyers know better than to say or do things that Sydney Powell was doing, especially when they know for a fact what they are saying is a lie.

There never was a Kracken, there never was a server farm in Europe that was raided, etc...she never has offered any real proof of her allegations and when Tucker Carlson point blank asked to do so, she punted because she didn’t have any evidence.

The point is, good lawyers don’t act that way, they know better to take on the Government, which as you correctly stated has unlimited money and immense power to ruin you.
