MAGA Attorney Pleads Guilty in Georgia Election Case, May Flip on Trump

Sidney Powell, Donald Trump’s ex-attorney and co-defendant in election subversion case in Georgia, has pleaded guilty one day before it was set to start.

The plea and its acceptance has led many legal commentators to conclude that it is likely Powell has flipped on Trump.

Powell was charged with working with local Republican officials to breach the election systems in Coffee County, Georgia, in January 2021. Together, they accessed and copied confidential information in the futile attempt to prove the election was stolen from Trump.

As a condition of her guilty plea, Powell will admit her role in that effort. She will also be required to testify at future trials, write an apology letter to Georgia citizens, surrender documents, and pay thousands of dollars in restitution and fines.

Powell is also admitting to taking actions “for the purpose of willfully tampering with electronic ballot markers and tabulating machines” and “with the intention of taking and appropriating information, data, and software” of Dominion Voting Systems.

Additionally, she is admitting to deploying employees of a hired data forensics firm to Coffee County for the purpose of illegally accessing government computers to access personal voter data.
