    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 recorded a statement for prosecutors and agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.

      The letter to Georgia seems kinda wild these days considering she could just have chatGPT do it.

        Dear fellow citizens of Georgia,

        I, Sydney Powell, am writing this letter to extend my deepest apologies for my role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. I recognize that my actions have caused significant concern and division, and I take full responsibility for my misguided involvement.

        In addition to acknowledging my mistakes, I must also address my association with former President Donald Trump in these efforts. It has become clear to me that President Trump’s repeated false claims about the 2020 election results in Georgia and other states contributed to the confusion and distrust that surrounded the election process. I hereby cut all ties with him and distance myself from these false claims.

        I want to emphasize that the foundation of our democracy rests on the principles of fair and free elections, and it is the duty of every citizen to honor and protect these principles. My actions in the past were inconsistent with these values, and I deeply regret any harm I may have caused to our nation and its citizens.

        I apologize to the American people for any doubts and divisions my actions may have created. It is my sincere hope that we can come together as a nation, putting aside political differences and working towards a stronger, more united democracy that truly reflects the will of the people.

        I am committed to learning from this experience and ensuring that such actions are not repeated. I believe in the importance of respecting the will of the voters and the integrity of our electoral system. It is imperative that we move forward with a spirit of unity, transparency, and cooperation.

        Once again, I extend my sincerest apologies to the people of our great nation for my involvement in the 2020 election controversy. I hope that, over time, I can regain your trust and contribute to a better future for the United States.

        Sincerely,

    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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

      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 still can’t bring myself to believe that, Trump never ever actually experiences consequences.

      But Giuliani? I believe he’s going to prison for sure.
