Trump's co-defendant, Sidney Powell, just accepted a plea deal...
From CNBC News
Right-wing attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal charges stemming from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen other defendants.
Powell’s plea agreement with prosecutors, the second in the case so far, came one day before jury selection in her trial was set to begin.
The sudden flip by Powell, who spread wild voter fraud conspiracies after Trump lost the 2020 election and filed lawsuits attempting to reverse that outcome, could ramp up pressure on her co-defendants to cut their own plea deals.
Powell, 68, pleaded guilty in Fulton County Superior Court to six misdemeanor counts: five counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties, and one count of conspiracy to commit theft by taking.
She will face six years of probation, a $6,000 fine and a $2,700 restitution to Georgia as part of the deal negotiated with prosecutors, according to remarks in a court hearing Thursday morning.
A first-time offender, Powell will not face jail time.
She will also be required to write an apology letter to the state of Georgia and its citizens.
Powell is the second of 19 co-defendants in the case to plead guilty. The first, bail bondsman Scott Hall, pleaded guilty in September to five misdemeanor conspiracy charges.
Like Hall, Powell agreed to testify truthfully in upcoming trials involving other co-defendants in the case, including Trump.
Powell initially faced seven felony charges, including racketeering and conspiracy to commit election fraud, in the indictment alleging a sprawling effort to overturn Trump’s loss to President Joe Biden in Georgia’s 2020 contest.
She was accused of being involved in a scheme to unlawfully breach election equipment in Coffee County, Georgia, and tamper with voting machines.
She was also at the White House for a Dec. 18, 2020, meeting where participants discussed election-flipping strategies, such as seizing voting machines or appointing Powell as special counsel to “investigate allegations of voter fraud in Georgia and elsewhere,” the indictment says.
Trump and his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, another co-defendant, were also at the meeting, according to the indictment.

They are giving her a light sentence because they are going to use her testimony to sink Trump. He better start putting money aside for the prison commissary because they going in for the kill shot. Getting his “Kraken” as they called her to flip, is the death stroke in his case.💯🇺🇸Anybody but Don The Orange Fat Con 2024🇺🇸
The election was stolen. How do they explain millions of paper ballots with only joe bide a name ticked off? No other candidates were ticked off at an election paper ballot. How do they explain the signatures weren’t the same of the voter? Louder with crowder actually went to the address of the “voters” and many were vacant lots. How could the prosecution explain these deception?
So that Kraken?
After they harassed 2 black women...
