Did she flip on Trump? That would be amazing.
Well the article does say
“A judge agreed that she will serve about six years of probation, have to pay $2,700 in restitution and have to testify truthfully against her co-defendants.”
So yes
$2700 for a lawyer lol, these numbers are so random
Yeah but she was Trump’s lawyer so I assume she is broke and unemployable.
/S sort of
35% of the county would totally hire her.
Well, not now, she’s turned on the God-Emperor.
This. I think her law career is over.
I can’t imagine what job she’d do now. Or maybe I am wrong and there are still people who’d hire her.I’d imagine this would probably put her on the chopping block for disbarment
Newsmax, OANN
On NPR, they state that the $2700 covers the cost of replacing election equipment.

Oh they just expected the truth later from a trump toady for an immediate legal benefit. So wise.
Part of her deal was a written statement describing what she will testify to. They don’t give this kind of deal unless the subject has already provided sufficient useful information and sworn to its truthfulness. She’s bound to her statement now and, if she retracts later, I’m sure they can both pull back the plea deal and charge her with perjury.
These prosecutors aren’t stupid nor is this their first plea deal. They’ve already got the goods.
Oh they will absolutely bring the hammer down if she doesn’t do and say everything by the book from this point forward, that’s the point of a plea deal. It gets the defendant out of (most of the) trouble, but it locks them in to testifying fully and truthfully about the case from then on. If the prosecutor/judge thinks they aren’t holding up that promise, the deal is taken away. You really do have to go full state’s evidence if you take a deal like this, and they are not playing around with the threat of piling all those felony charges - and more - right back on you if you don’t sing just the way the DOJ wants you to.
I’m thinking that if she took the plea deal that she definitely did
They all should have flipped way earlier, it’s not like he would support them or take care of them in any way. I mean, look at the lawyers he hires for himself.
She also agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.
Sounds like it.
Same kind of deal that Scott Hall took:
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 agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.
As much as I want to see the house of cards collapse, that toadies like her get off nearly Scott free is a real miscarriage of justice IMO. She should be serving actual time, and not in a white-collar-resort prison.
The problem is that the actions the state can prove only amount to misdemeanors. That’s why RICO is so powerful. Even if you only did misdemeanors, if you were part of the conspiracy then you get lumped in with all the felonies everyone else committed too. The whole point of RICO is to roll up the underlings with the bosses and try to peel off underlings in exchange for cooperation.
By pleaing out, Powell is separating herself from the others and so those felony RICO charges don’t apply anymore. All that said, this is all at the discretion of the DA and the judge. If Powell fucks up the terms of her deal she’s in for six years of Georgia state prison. At 68 years old, that’d got to be a pretty good motivator for good behavior and cooperation.
I totally get it, and in the grand scheme it makes perfect sense. You let the little fish get off easy in order to secure a conviction on the big fish.
With that being said, I share the feeling of what u/enkers said above. It’s disappointing that a lawyer, who damn well should have known better, can engage in a plot to overthrow our democracy and then get off with a slap on the wrist. It doesn’t exactly serve as a deterrent for future conspirators, knowing that there are no serious consequences for helping “the bigger fish” commit crimes.
She will be disbarred as well. And, depending on what she has said, she may be extremely exposed to civil lawsuits now.
She always seemed like one of the biggest instigators to me. She drove a lot of the worst rhetoric and made up a lot of pure bullshit. Like you said, as a lawyer she should have been even more aware than her co-defendants how illegal this shit was.
I hope there’s good strategy behind the decision to allow her to plea. If her testimony can directly implicate Trump or others it might be worthwhile. She also might be dumb enough to violate the terms of her plea, in which case you get her confession AND you get to throw the book at her.
Will I get a copy of the apology letter in the mail? Lol
This could have been a real punishment if they made her hand sign a letter to every Georgian over voting age. That’s justice. Let her chatgpt the letter. Also make her sign every single one 5 days a week, 8 hours a day until she’s done.
Jack Smith has a new cooperative witness. One that can’t take the 5th.
Forget the Kraken, I think Sidney is about to release the Great Old Ones all over the remaining defendants
I 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.
The 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.
As far as I understand it, Chesebro’s plea deal included sentencing under a first time offender program that would automatically expunge the conviction if he completed probation without violations.
Wow what a dumbass. That was a great deal and he’s going to eat shit in court.
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.
I 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
They 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.
She will also almost assuredly get disbarred once this all wraps up, and also… she’s old lol (within a decade of donnie). She doesn’t have a lot of time left to spend on tramp, especially if she were to catch those federal felonies.
As you said, she’s done.
I can see a book deal in her future. “If I did it 2 - electric boogaloo”
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. 🤣
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.
So let me get this right. He was impersonating a certified presidential elector sent to DC to fraudulently perform the duties of a certified presidential elector, but that’s OK because he never said he was a certified presidential elector?
“Sir, you were arrested trying to get access to the bank’s safe using an employee badge you found on the ground.”
“Yes, but I never said that I was trying to impersonate him, therefore these charges of attempted bank robbery are invalid!”
Is he paying an actual lawyer actual American money for this advice? Because if so, he’s getting ripped off.
My (divorce) lawyer constantly reminds me “this is your case, if you want to go with that we’ll go with it”. I interpret this as “don’t be a dumbass”, I guess Chesebro took it as an actual offer.
I 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.
Sir, I never said he was the president of the United States, I said be was president of the states. As in our larping group called The States. He really was the president!
Re-leash the kraken!
Time to check rightwing social media and feast on the cope
Tldr?
Pretending 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.
should’ve stuck to gerrymandering, the legal kind of election tampering
Buckle up.
She’s good the goods. $6000 for trying to steal an election, you don’t get off with a slap on the wrist unless you know where some bodies are buried.
I 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.
Oh my God! What the hell is she doing with her…face?
She doing crazy
Hell of a deal for trying to overturn democracy. But they want the
bigfat fish more.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!
This 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.
I 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.
I 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…
A 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.
