ATLANTA (AP) — Lawyer Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to reduced charges Thursday over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election in Georgia, becoming the second defendant in the sprawling case to reach a deal with prosecutors.

Spicy! I wonder what she gave up.

    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.

    They gave her what barely amounts to a slap on the wrist. I hope they did so in exchange for some pretty damning testimony.

      I think they have to be lenient to give the other co-dependents incentive to flip.

        This exactly. The goal is and has always been to get the guy at the top. They’ll let everyone else off a little easier in pursuit of the primary goal.

      Probation isn’t nothing, but this type of deal is an incentive to testify against others.

      I wonder if this will at least prevent Powell from practicing law.
