It’s a classic case of people wanting to believe so badly they were susceptible to being conned by scam artists, Sydney Powell will probably go to jail and lose her law license, Mike Lindell could easily lose his company and go bankrupt for buying into a fraud

Who are the con artists commie? What side are you going to be on when the war begins in earnest?

I think that Powell may get convicted at trial but vindicated on appeal or in a collateral proceeding in federal court. After all, if Powell was "conned by scam artists," she lacked criminal intent or any intent to deceive. Moreover, under controlling First Amendment cases, freedom of speech includes a right to be sincerely wrong on assertions of fact, even to be false in many instances by embellishing or overstating facts.

The entire point of the prosecutions of Trump, Powell, and others is not to enforce the law but to prevent Trump from getting elected again and to damage the defendants personally and impose costs on them as Trump supporters. For Jack Smith and the other prosecutors involved, they know that even if Trump and the defendants are fully vindicated in the long run, there is unlikely to be any cost to the prosecutors themselves personally due to prosecutorial immunity.

For the most part, the worst that could happen in the way of payback is that the taxpayers of Georgia and other jurisdictions may have to pay for the legal fees, lost income, and reputational damage done to the defendants. Or, if Trump gets back in and put an aggressive Attorney General and line prosecutors in place, there is a thin chance that a criminal conspiracy to violate the civil rights of Powell and other defendants might be proven against Jack Smith, Fani Willis, and other deranged prosecutors.
