Sidney Powell Takes Plea Deal For Probation - Will Testify Against Trump, Others

Powell, who was charged alongside Trump and 17 others with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law, entered the plea just a day before jury selection was set to start in her trial. 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.

She was initially charged with racketeering and six other counts as part of a wide-ranging scheme to keep the Republican president in power after he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden. Prosecutors say she also participated in an unauthorized breach of elections equipment in a rural Georgia county elections office.

Inb4 "She was just a low level operative. Only met her once or twice."

She's facing all kinds of civil suits from people like Dominion, which she will probably lose. She probably doesn't have money to have her lawyers fight through this sprawling criminal trial (even Trump is relying on his supporters' donations to pay his legal fees). A probation deal sounds like a decent exit for her to move on with her life

It's the unfortunate truth that many people, including the innocent, plead guilty just to get things over with, not because of actual guilt

Only a gulag country would put a lawyer behind bars for merely attempting to contest election results in court. They acted as if she illegally hacked the legal system in a trial giving her a favorable conditions to overturn the election.

She clearly would have had she the actual opportunity to do so. The “Kraken” got released on her instead.

FWIW, prosecutors claim she participated in an unauthorized breach of elections equipment in a rural Georgia county elections office. If true, she did more than simply contesting election results in court.

"Fulton County prosecutors drop all 7 felony charges against Sidney Powell - in exchange for a misdemeanor plea.

They overcharged and they knew it."

https://twitter.com/Techno_Fog/statu...10423282429965

"The Fulton County DA lied to the court repeatedly about the law.

They hid exculpatory evidence from the grand jury (violating the prosecutor's oath to do justice).

And now the felonies vanish on the eve of trial. Totally unjust prosecution."

[Kraken]

This is how extremist regimes work; they collectively go after the opposition as harshly and violently as possible. In the modern society, wars are fought without firing a single bullet. They rack up as many felonies against the person as possible, with as many cases as possible to overwhelm them, and then run them through an extremely bias court system. Even if they are innocent and there is plenty of evidence to show that, the juries still find him guilty because the jurists themselves are corrupt and unhinged. In almost all of these cases there's no actual evidence of a crime being committed. It's all sensationalism for those who have no law education

This leaves them taking plea deals for lesser offenses, which helps the base in their confirmation bias. This Rallies the regime/collective to believe they were right in to keep going after the opposition.

It's starting to make me wonder if politically motivated cases should never go through the normal court process. There has to be another solution, otherwise they will never be justice

This is how our justice systen functions unfortunately. Courts are so overloaded with prosecuting people for stupid bullchit that having actual trials for them all would be impossible. Over charging people to scare them into plea deals has become the norm. Fascist libs and commies like opie love it of course

The process is the punishment...

The Kraken Lady should be thrown in jail.

hard luck brah. no jail time in plea agreement. The witch in GA knew she couldn't get conviction

[Dave22reborn]

Eventually Trump will pass away, and OP won't know what to do with himself anymore.

What is the cost to defend yourself against the govt in trials like these? Hundreds of thousands at least. I’d take a plea for probation to make it all end too. It’s what Flynn and others in the trump admin did under the mueller probe.

The govt has unlimited funds and time to tear you down.

[JUSA]

Ok, so I remember back in 2020, our Kraken-lady.

At first I said wait and see. We waited. We saw (nothing). I turned on her, declared her a liar, fraud and grifter. Many on the left agreed (or worse).

What is everyone's current estimate of this woman? My view has not changed in the slightest. She is a liar. She is a fraud. She is a grifter.

Still.

Curious if her turning against Trump will suddenly give her some credibility in some people's eyes. Or, the one or two lunatics who held her up (and kept doing so, never accepting she was 100% full of chit) if they still think she's some paragon of honesty.

Do public defenders not exist in these trials? Or private lawyers willing to work pro Bono?

She fell for a hoax. Who were those retards talking about server raids in germany? Pretty sure it all cane from those guys. The worst part is she got giuliani to buy into it for a while. Threw a pretty big wrench into the works and at best giuliani was in over his head to begin with

Maybe, that is a generous way of seeing things. Me, I saw the Skylinerd nonsense for the trash it was, no evidence, insane and an obvious lie. I guess she is just very, very stupid, if she took this and then ran with it as if it was cold concrete fact. Some people are dumb like that.

I also think it's on the table to consider the possibility she was a lying grifter, who saw a chance to rake in $$$ from desperate and angry Trumpers and it kind of backfired in the long run for her. I suspect this is the case but give you that it might also be she is incredibly naive and a drooling imbecile.

Not sure I'd say she turned against Trump but rather acted in the interest of her own well being (staying out of prison). Any testimony she gives going forward will be under the utmost scrutiny and if she lies under oath she'll be be right back where she started.

A person would be stupid to go to prison just to protect a politician.

Lmaoooo

So the same people claiming ultimate principles and patriotism, will also just roll over and accept a plea to save 100k?


Lmao. You're a deluded clown.

Every single one these defendants should just simply hold out for jury trial, then claim they can't find an impartial jury due to the extensive biased media coverage, then provide endless examples of the media polluting the case. The cases will never get to trial.

So that's it, right? She's innocent. Even though she will plead guilty, confess in open court to what she did. There is no way she's remorseful for her crimes and that's why she pleaded guilty, right? It's only because she's taking the path of least resistance.

[Gotti99]

hard luck brah. no jail time in plea agreement. The witch in GA knew she couldn't get conviction

Yet, somehow she did.

[Retoaded]

No jail and a $2,700 fine?

Thats a pretty light sentence for trying to overthrow our democracy.

Probably her first offense, that's why

Exactly. If she was truly guilty of these major crimes, the plea would have consisted of far worse charges and sentencing. This was only to bolster the case against Liberty loving citizens, now labeled “the far right”.
