Holy plea deal, Batman... |

Your deal becomes potentially more worthless the longer you wait while other witnesses jump in. The pressure may crack some others. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3114 | As part of her plea she agrees to testify truthfully at the trials of the others indicted, including Trump. This could be "very interesting," as Colonel Klink was wont to say: I can't wait to hear her testitimony about "a White House meeting she attended in mid-December of 2020 in which prosecutors say ways to influence the outcome of the election were discussed." https://news.yahoo.com/sidney-powell-pleads-guilty-deal-140555333.html I can see it now... "Yes, that man sitting there (pointing to Trump) suggested we concoct a BS story about election loss and we silly sheep, desperate for power as we were, we stupidly went along with him an plunged headong into the abyss." |

No further questions…. Wouldn’t you say ANYTHING if the decision not to say it meant jail? And OF COURSE there is no way to really know if the testimony is truthful. |

Police and DA investigators are somewhat good at their jobs, and have amazing abilities to collect evidence to corroborate testimony. If the deal is she testifies truthfully, you can bet they already have a Sword of Damocles ready to wield in case she doesn't. As for the insinuation her testimony and guilty plea was unfairly and illegally coerced, prosecutors don't just put people in jail, There are trials, and if you are innocent, you say "Put 12 in the box and let's dance." |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3114 | Trump probably thought that the plotting and scheming he did with his lawyers could and would never become known, and could not be used against him, due to the well-established rule that communications between a client and his attorney(s) are confidential. Oops...If a client seeks advice from an attorney to assist with the furtherance of a crime or fraud or the post-commission concealment of the crime or fraud, then the communication is not privileged. |

I have no sympathy for any lawyer caught up in all this. While I hold lawyers in high regard, lawyers know what the rules are and know not to break them. |
