The Establishments war on Donald Trump Title: CNN Senior Legal Analyst Says Sidney Powell Plea Could Be ‘Devastating’ For Trump BRIANNA LYMAN NEWS AND COMMENTARY WRITER October 19, 2023 DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDAION CNNs senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Thursday that Sidney Powells guilty plea could be devastating for former President Donald Trump. Powell, Trumps former attorney, pleaded guilty to several misdemeanor charges in the Georgia 2020 election case one day before jury selection was scheduled for her Oct. 23 trial date with co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro. Powell is required to testify against co-defendants in future proceedings and write an apology letter as part of her plea deal. Prosecutors have recommended Powell receive 12 months probation for each of the six charges brought against her, and that she pay a $6,000 fine and $2,700 restitution to the state of Georgia. Honig called the plea deal a major breakthrough for prosecutors. This is a major breakthrough for prosecutors, potentially a devastating development for Donald Trump, because whats going to happen now is Sidney Powell is going to testify for prosecutors in Georgia and, presumably, shell also be prepared to testify for Jack Smith in his federal case in Washington, D.C, Honig said. Shes not indicted in that case, but shes listed as a co-conspirator in that case. Shes going to be able to provide insider information that could be really devastating towards Donald Trump. She was in the room where some things, if not happened, were at least discussed, Elie. She was part of some of these contentious meetings that allegedly took place in the White House before Jan. 6. How can prosecutors now use her? co-host John Berman asked. (RELATED: Georgia Judge Denies Sidney Powells Effort To Dismiss Racketeering Case Charges) So, you use her to bring your jury into that very room. She will be the guide. She will be the narrator. She will be able to say, I was in this room with Donald Trump, with Rudy Giuliani. Heres what we discussed. Heres who said what. Heres what we knew. And John, really importantly, in order to take this plea in this deal, Sidney Powell is going to have to acknowledge what we did was criminal. It was illegal, it was a crime. And so thats going to lend a lot of credibility, I think, obviously, to prosecutors assertions that what Donald Trump did was knowingly a crime, was an intentional crime. Powell pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties. She was originally indicted on two felony counts of conspiracy to commit election fraud and four other felony conspiracy counts, as well as violating Georgias Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

Powell was instrumental in spreading rumors about how the voting machines in various States had been rigged to favor DemRATZ. Her interviews seemed promising at the time, but she never came up with the evidence. Now she appears to be selling out her former client. I am not impressed...MUD
