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.

cornercase,

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.

NotMyOldRedditName,

Sir, I never said he was the president of the United States, I said be was president of the states. As in our larping group called The States. He really was the president!

Nightwingdragon,

So let me get this right. He was impersonating a certified presidential elector sent to DC to fraudulently perform the duties of a certified presidential elector, but that’s OK because he never said he was a certified presidential elector?

“Sir, you were arrested trying to get access to the bank’s safe using an employee badge you found on the ground.”

“Yes, but I never said that I was trying to impersonate him, therefore these charges of attempted bank robbery are invalid!”

Is he paying an actual lawyer actual American money for this advice? Because if so, he’s getting ripped off.

eestileib,

My (divorce) lawyer constantly reminds me “this is your case, if you want to go with that we’ll go with it”. I interpret this as “don’t be a dumbass”, I guess Chesebro took it as an actual offer.

We know Cheez Bro turned down an offer of 3 years probation. I wonder if Kraken got the same offer or if it’s only 72% as good as his.

Also wondering if Cheese Burrow is happy or sad that he’ll now be on trial alone.

The deal would have allowed Chesebro to avoid prison time by pleading guilty to one felony count of racketeering, the top charge in the indictment, according to the sources.

Kraken pleaded guilty to all misdemeanor crimes. That’s a huge difference.

Evilcoleslaw,

As far as I understand it, Chesebro’s plea deal included sentencing under a first time offender program that would automatically expunge the conviction if he completed probation without violations.

eestileib,

Wow what a dumbass. That was a great deal and he’s going to eat shit in court.

Woohoo!

VantaBrandon,

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.

eran_morad,

Lol, get fucked.

DrSleepless,

Is this “the kraken” she was referring to?

Astroturfed,

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.

Reality_Suit,

Oh my God! What the hell is she doing with her…face?

IvanOverdrive,

She doing crazy

xc2215x,

Glad Sidney is guilty.

reverendsteveii,

Dominooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

affiliate,

should’ve stuck to gerrymandering, the legal kind of election tampering

trash80,

Buckle up.

kandoh,

Time to check rightwing social media and feast on the cope

blazeknave,

Tldr?

kandoh,

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.

ZeroCool,

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.

Hahahahahaha ReLeAsE tHe KrAcKeN Sidney! ReLeAsE tHe KrAcKeN!

RampantParanoia2365,

Nobody wants to see that, man.

moog,

I became a cringe singularity when I heard her say that good lord women

syrooks,

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

ProfessorScience,

Yeah I just imagine her doing the South Park I’m sorry routine.

lord_of_gloom,

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,

Wilibus,

No need to release the kraken, she’s just getting probation not incarceration.
