CNN’s Honig: Sidney Powell Plea Potentially ‘Devastating For Donald Trump’
Breitbart ^ | 10/19/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/19/2023 10:55:12 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Thursday on CNN’s “News Central” that Attorney Sidney Powell’s guilty plea in the Georgia election crimes case could be potentially “devastating for Donald Trump.” Partial transcript as follows: KATE BOLDUAN: Few people pushed it further than Sidney Powell. HONIG: Yeah, that’s right. It’s important to remember who Sidney Powell is, she’s one of Donald Trump’s closest loyalists. She’s somebody who Donald Trump has claimed he relied on her advice to proceed in his effort to try to steal this election. This is a major breakthrough for prosecutors, potentially a devastating development for Donald Trump, because what’s going to happen now is Sidney Powell is going to testify for prosecutors in Georgia, and presumably she’ll also be prepared to testify for Jack Smith in his federal case in Washington, D.C. She’s not indicted in that case, but she’s listed as a coconspirator in that case. She’s going to be able to provide insider information that could be really devastating towards Donald Trump.

Illegal prosecution of Trump that will be dismissed fairly soon.

“Honig is a ding bat”

Maybe. But there’s no way that Powell agreeing to testify against Trump’s inner circle is a positive for President Trump.

Powell was the first to point out that the 2020 election was “stolen by many means”

... and she was right by not sticking to one scheme like machine fraud, fake ballots, dropboxes, dead voters, fake news, etc.

HOWEVER ... she has been out of Team Trump since 2020 ... https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2020/11/22/sidney-powells-status-with-the-trump-campaign-has-changed-n2580496

She was ALWAYS going to flip. ALL of the attorneys are going to flip.

They will all plead to misdemeanors and a year suspension on their law license.

No one is giving up their law license for Donald Trump. Period.

Cohen got disbarred. Powell has not.

Maybe Trump should have paid his bills on time.

Cohen was hardly a lawyer ... I use several lawyers by practice area ... and I had a Cohen type to take responsibility for minor general matters ... Cohen is a convicted criminal and should be SNL material at this point ...

“Turning state’s witness, SELL OUT, everyone under the kraken bus”

Calm down Poindexter. They plead her out because she was going to blind them with motion filings and they had nothing on her.

This is a win/win for both sides.

I think they would think long and hard about putting Sydney Powell on the witness stand against any of those charged.

While they may get Sidney Powell, Trump’s defense may argue he was only repeating the legal claims made by Powell. That may work if Powell cannot prove she was only following commands from Trump.

She is fraud from the beginning. Cheating via the voting machines could never be proven.

However, there is ample evidence of rampant cheating through mail-in ballots that, because of Covid, were allowed in mass and without proper signature verification and chain of custody requirements.

The Ruby Freeman video in Atlanta was conclusive proof of voter fraud.

Dinesh D'Souza documented the fraud by drop box.

Trump has a unique knack for bringing in people who are completely disloyal to him.

Powell was a nutball.

I had to have a month of detention and write a letter of apology to the head Nun of our school for mooning the Sisters as they crossed the RR tracks to go to Mass. I don’t know how they knew it was me as the only face they saw was my behind and I ran away as quick as I could. That was nothing compared to my Dad’s punishment!

She was the attorney who claimed there was a gunfight between some so-called white hats and election fraudsters at the American embassy in Frankfurt, Germany. Nowhere else was this gunfight mentioned in either the local German media or elsewhere. A gunfight in the middle of one of Germany's largest cities can not be ignored even by the liberal media.

Nobody knows what Powell will testify to.
Just the facts ma’am.
Everyone hopes she’ll turn against Trump.
That may not happen at all.

...potentially a devastating development for Donald Trump...
