“Fulton County prosecutors are recommending a sentence of six years probation. Powell will also be required to testify at future trials, write an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia, pay nearly $9,000 in restitution and fines and turn over documents.”
That’s it?! Must be nice to try and undermine a presidential election, to only potentially face probation + $9000.
It’s a setup for the RICO case.
In order to prove RICO, you need to prove in court that crimes were committed and that they were part of an organized effort.
Having lower level actors plead guilty establishes that there were actual crimes that were committed. You can’t argue that something is not a crime after there’s a conviction.
Now add in the promise to point fingers in future trials, and you can connect the bosses to these proven crimes to establish the organized efforts.

Testify at future trials is the key part. I the kids gloves are contingent on him singing a good song when they go after other people involved.
I doubt it’ll go anywhere, but that’s probably the logic behind it.
Isn’t this quite literally treason?
How is this the sentencing recommended?
In a Rico case, they always get some people to flip. Her demanding a speedy trial positioned her to get a better deal.
It’s unfair, but if Trump gets Convicted, then I’ll take it.
Being the first person to flip usually gets you a great deal
Second in this situation. She’s #2 so far.
What’s the over/under on how many will flip of the 19?
Once they start flipping, more and more flip and get less fun deals.
First pig to the trough eats the most.
It would be sedition, not treason. Still, your point regarding sentencing still stands.
I wonder if the lenient sentence relies on the fact that a) she is genuinely mentally unwell and b) without the people she is about to testify against she can’t organise anything.
This is all about the testimony. Simple as.
RELEASE THE KRAPPEN!
Looks like Sidney Powell just got swallowed by a Kraken.
Lock her up!
