A former attorney for Donald Trump who was at the center of his effort to subvert the 2020 election has reached a plea deal and will cooperate with Georgia prosecutors in the racketeering case against Trump and many of his allies.
Sidney Powell, who advised Trump during the final frantic weeks of his bid to remain in power despite losing the election, pleaded guilty Thursday to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties.
Powell’s guilty plea, which she entered in a court hearing in Atlanta, makes her the first member of Trump’s close advisers to admit to crimes related to the 2020 election. She had been slated to go on trial Monday in Fulton County, Ga., on charges that she joined Trump in the alleged racketeering conspiracy and helped engineer the breach of election equipment in a Georgia county.

Powell was sentenced to six years probation and will be left without a criminal record if she complies with all aspects of the agreement, Judge Scott McAfee indicated. She also must write an apology letter to Georgia citizens.
McAfee told Powell the plea deal requires her to take the witness stand against co-defendants if requested.
“You’re to testify truthfully against any and all co-defendants in this matter at any upcoming proceedings,” the judge told Powell.


She's realized that loyalty is only one-way for Donald Trump, and decided to cut her own deal. Likely, more will follow her.

She is afraid , just like when Peter denied Jesus. She see's people getting sentenced for 20 years just for protesting a rigged election. She knows she can't get a fair trial. She has to take the deal.

It's awkward when liars testify. Should people believe the stuff liars have said before court? Or should we believe them on the witness stand under oath? Or can we even give anything they utter any credibility whatsoever?

The lady obviously knows her actions were wrong and likely criminal. She knows she can't form a successful defense for the nonsensical behavior. It behooves her to take the deal. It prevents her from going to prison.

If they broke into the Capitol, assaulted police, and vandalized the building.
She knows she can't get a fair trial.
What she's afraid of, is a fair trial.
She has to take the deal.
She's learned that Trump has no loyalty to people he uses. So she's turning state's evidence.

Like rats fleeing a sinking blimp.

You call them rats. But even Jesus at one time called Peter , "Satan".

The old joke...
"Laboratories are now in the process of replacing rats with (your choice of despicable people).
It seems that the scientists tend to become fond of the rats. Also, there certain things even a rat won't do."

Does this mean Trump will plead guilty also? Or is it just Powell who can't get a fair trial?

Remember the bible story about Samson ? How it ended ????

Remember when Trump called the second epistle to the Corinthians "Corinthians 2", like it was an ancient Ghostbusters sequel or something, and then some Trump followers tried to claim that people call it that sometimes?
