This seems like a good way to lose a plea deal.
I may not make the best decisions but thank fuck I’m smarter than her
This woman passed the Bar. Let that sink in.
The Bar isn't fucking high enough.
A lot of the dumbest people I went to high school with have masters degrees. It's well past time to stop judging people based on a piece of paper.
Intelligence and morality are not the same thing.
Stupidity is a moral problem not an intellectual one.
Low bar.
I threw the sink away. Too many.
Fun fact: In some states, you can take the bar without having gone to law school. Or college. Or have a high school diploma. If you're lucky, you can pass it too.
Someone really wants to do her 5-20 stint.
Does she not know how judges work? Jesus Christ this woman is about to get her sentence revoked and replaced with the real sentence.
Does she think she has some magic power now that she's not indicted or on trial in Georgia (because she's convicted now)?
My mind boggles. I'm hoping that Trump just surrounded himself with crappy wheedling yes-man lawyers. The alternative, that these kinds of lawyers are common, is too scary to contemplate.
The magic behind probation is that you can lose it at any time, and be sent to jail at any time, if you cross any line laid out in the agreement or reasonably implied by the agreement or if you're flagrantly abusive of your probation. Pissing off the judge will get your leash yanked so hard and so fast you'll briefly lose consciousnesses.
Christ.
Does anyone else get “crazy hoarder” vibes from this lady?
Crazy hoarders think Sidney Powell is fucking nuts.
Fine. She wants to claim that she was extorted? Revoke the probation part of the deal and send her to prison.
Helpful hint: It's not "extortion" if the prosecution offers you a light sentence for crimes you are guilty of in exchange for your testimony against your even-more-guilty boss.
Bold move, Cotton
God I hope this grifter manages to land herself in prison.
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."

And she breaks her plea deal. That didn't take long.
