Sidney Powell pushes claims that 2020 election was rigged and prosecutors 'extorted' her after she pleaded guilty to election interference
Sidney Powell has continued to push conspiracy theories claiming the election was rigged after she pleaded guilty to election interference.
Sidney Powell may have pleaded guilty to interfering in the 2020 presidential election, but she still seems to think President Joe Biden's victory was illegitimate.
On her social media accounts, Powell has continued to push claims that the 2020 election was rigged and that prosecutors in Georgia who brought the criminal case against her are politically motivated. The newsletter published by her dark money group has shared articles arguing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis "extorted" her guilty plea.
I hope she continues to fuck around. I don't think she's had nearly enough "find out" yet.
On Monday, she asked her followers to watch “Police State,” a new movie from conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza, which argues that law enforcement is biased against former President Donald Trump, who currently faces four pending criminal cases.
(D'Souza himself had previously pleaded guilty to making an illegal campaign contribution and was pardoned by Trump.)
What a fucking joke, to have this guy who was pardoned say that other people are the ones who are biased.
How can the GOP be the "party of law and order" when all of them have been convicted of felonies? Not just convicted, but often pleading guilty. Saying under oath in court that they are guilty of felonies.
"Law and order" is and always as been an euphemism for "round up the minorities"
The very definition of a dog whistle
And the poor.
D'Souza should go to prison.
Law enforcement is indeed biased against those who break laws. Is this an admission of guilt?
To be fair, pleading guilty to a crime means all of jack and shit considering how everyone who is arrested is threatened or blackmailed into accepting plea deals regardless of guilt.
I suspect the MAGA crowd is exploiting the hatred of the police the left very rightly has, and we'll see a shift in anti-police sentiment as MAGA adopts a Fuck The Police stance and the left in the most blatantly hypocritical 180 on stances they've done since covid, openly start bootlicking just to spite the right.
Or maybe we'll start having some common ground, can finally come together to overthrow them, and then kill each other afterwards.
She loses her probation deal if she doesn’t play ball. I’m sure they’d love to make an example out of her if she steps out of line. They’re taking way more plea deals before the trial comes.
Everyone who doesn’t take and live up to their deal goes to jail for years. Plural. Georgia RICO has mandatory minimums.
5 years hard time served before the board flirts with parole. 5 hard years before the governor can even entertain a pardon.
Rats in a sinking ship.
As more people flip, and Trump's chances of re-election (and pardons) fade, this is an... interesting choice to make. I suppose they'll just run the "freeze peach, I'm the victim, this is what the communists want to do to you" playbook.
By the time she's out of prison, the magats will have moved on, but she'll always have her book deal residuals from the semi-literate idiots that buy the grift.
(D'Souza himself had previously pleaded guilty to making an illegal campaign contribution and was pardoned by Trump.)
There it is. Trump gets to be president, he can accept "campaign contributions" in any amount from anyone anywhere, right out in the open - and then pardon the people who gave him the money.
So show evidence.
You can't. You just keep talking hoping Tangerine Scream will bail you out.
He won't. He can't.
Give up.
You either lied under oath or you are obviously grifting here. Give it up, you oatmeal with a wig on
Throw this magoo into prison.
When she gets to court she'll have to give testimony consistent with the sworn statement she must have given to prosecutors as a part of the deal she got. If she contradicts it in her testimony in actual court, perjury, and indeed jail. So either she gives her damming testimony against trump accurately, or perjures herself and goes to jail, win win.
She can lie all she wants in social media, but if she tries to pull this in court, yeah it'll be jail.
They should all be in prison though.
I do wonder if the defense can cross using her many countering media statements after pleading, to insert doubt in the jury.
Seems like a smart play on her part, if she can’t be punished for public statements. She can honor the letter of the plea, but provide a mountain of countering public statements.
That's not going to play out well for her. LMFAO
When I told my partner about this, I qualified it by saying how excited I am for the repercussions.
Don't hold your breath. She is a republican.
She seems to have a lot of faith in the conservative media bubble, playing this both ways to different audiences.
She’s probably right. Misinformation certainly works for them.
Gonna be hard when she is in a court room and actually has to tell the truth.
Seems like this would completely negate her plea deal if it was contingent on her testimony.
LOL, bc here in Murica, political violence is skyrocketing, and she's got a huge target on her back for all the MAGA terrorists.
Political violence rise here, and threats of violence to politicians is just one of the many parallels with the fall of the Weimar Republic.
Correct.
To be clear, she did not make an Alford plea that the judge would've likely rejected. She was over a barrel and plead guilty and now wants everyone to ignore that.
She's going to end up doing time.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
She initially represented Trump, alongside Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis (who pleaded guilty on Monday), as part of the former president's "Elite Strike Force" team of lawyers challenging his election loss.
On Monday, she asked her followers to watch "Police State," a new movie from conservative activist Dinesh D'Souza, which argues that law enforcement is biased against former President Donald Trump, who currently faces four pending criminal cases.
Powell has also been promoting posts about the testimony of a witness in a separate, ongoing California disbarment trial for John Eastman, a co-defendant in the Atlanta criminal case and former Trump Justice Department official who sought to overturn the election results.
The newsletter bolded a passage arguing she couldn't get a fair trial with "a jury culled from deep-blue Fulton County" and pointing out that the misdemeanors she pleaded guilty to "would be discharged from Powell's record following probation."
Ronald Carlson, a professor at the University of Georgia School of Law, told Insider that Powell's comments are unusual for a cooperating witness, who is likely to be asked to testify on behalf of the prosecution at a trial.
But in Monday's newsletter, Defending the Republic shared a Truth Social post from Trump praising Powell's "valiant job of representing a very unfairly treated and governmentally abused General Mike Flynn."
The original article contains 1,082 words, the summary contains 217 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This does not surprise me at all, tbh
She really needs mental health assistance.
No she doesn't. She knows what she's doing. They're all hoping Trump or a Republican wins in 2024 so that they get off the hook.
