State case. Presidents can't pardon. President's can only pardon in federal cases.
Yes, she and Kenneth Cheesebro wanted a speedy trial. She was going to be tried with him. Jury Selection starts tomorrow. Trial starts Monday.
So the Cheesebro stands alone.
To get her plea deal she made a proffer. The judge mentioned that she had already completed her proffer agreement.
https://www.scrofanolaw.com/what-is-a-proffer-agreement/
The proffer agreement is a written contract between a prosecutor and a defendant, or a person under criminal investigation, where the defendant agrees to provide the prosecutor with useful information. The statements they made will not be used against them in future criminal proceedings.
Probably all her emails, texts, communications for one.
She was subpoenaed by the grand jury but she didn't show up.
This is where she is mentioned in the GA indictment
Act33. On or about the 6th day of December 2020, SIDNEY KATHERINE POWELL entered into a written engagement agreement with SullivanStrickler LLC....The unlawful breach of election equipment in Coffee County, Georgia, was subsequently performed under this agreement
There's a bunch of other stuff involving Coffee County including
making false statements and representations in a sworn deposition in 2022 to the Jan 6 Committee.
....then she is also mentioned here
Act90. or about the 18th day of December 2020, DONALD JOHN TRUMP met with RUDOLPH WILLIAM LOUIS GIULIANI, SIDNEY KATHERINE POWELL , unindicted co-conspirator Individual 20, whose identity is known to the Grand Jury, and others a tthe White House. The individuals present at the meeting discussed certain strategies and theories intended to influence the outcome of the November 3 , 2020 , presidential election, including seizing voting equipment
Isn't there going to be Trial in a couple of days
She and Ken Cheesebro were going to trial together. I think he's still having his trial......yeah jury selection is tomorrow and the trial is Monday
Before we start claiming bank collapse, this happened before.
In 2019, the London Stock Exchange suffered an almost two-hour outage that hit FTSE 100 and midcap stocks, which LSEG said was
She got a deal because she is going to testify
Powell admitted guilt to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties. She was sentenced to six years probation and agreed to pay a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution to the state of Georgia, turn over documents and testify truthfully in her co-defendants’ trials."
What do you use for news?
This came out this morning and there's like 6 posts on GAW about it.
conspiracy to interfere with the 2020 election
This is not quite what she was charged with. She plead guilty to crimes that happened after the 2020 election.
I'm reading she plead guilty to 6 counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties.
This is about getting access to voting machines in Coffee County, GA. I'm assuming the official there has "election duties" to perform by law and letting Sidney Powell and her team get access to the voting machines violated those duties.
This is how the Washington Post described what happened on Jan 7, 2021.
In rural Coffee County, Ga., forensics experts paid by a nonprofit run by pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell copied virtually every component of the voting system
It's used three time in the movie, White Squall.
Here's a website about a sailboat
https://www.eyeofthewind.net/en/ship/crew/11-schiff
In the old days the bell was also used to indicate the time of day. In one scene of the Hollywood-movie "White Squall" this bell with its engraving WHERE WE GO ONE - WE GO ALL plays an important role. In the audio file you hear the spoken words "Where we go one - we go all" and two double-chimes of the bell. Striking the bell that way means either 2 o'clock, 6 o'clock or 10 o'clock.
Here's the script for White Squall.
Skipper manages a sobering look and climbs on top of the chart house. He pats a small brass sign that is welded to the main mast and reads the inscription.
SKIPPER
(reading)
"Where we go one, we go all."
With that, he disappears below. Nobody moves. This is exactly the kind of man you want around when the shit hits the fan.
.....
SKIPPER Excellent point. As you might have noticed, being out here pretty much puts you in the moment. If you panic, if you lose your head, you die. Maybe you take your mates with you. How'd you like to have to bet on Terry here getting us home today? Each one of you is responsible for the rest. "Where we go one, we go all". If your buddy is asleep at the switch we're all fish food.
.....
Tears begin to stream down Chuck's face. His father, Charles, slowly stands meeting his sons eyes. Go for it.
CHUCK
Tell me Skipper, was it all just a
lie? "Where we go one, we go all".
We listened to you. We believed it.
And we're still here!!
Skipper keeps moving.
That's a very good question and I'm sure one that a lot of people are asking themselves. She got a light sentence.
Maybe the kraken was herself
She's getting a light sentence
She is pleading to six misdemeanor charges, according to the agreement read in court. She will get 12 months of probation for each count, as well as a $6,000 fine.
Lawyer Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to reduced charges Thursday over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election in Georgia, becoming the second defendant in the sprawling case to reach a deal with prosecutors.
Powell, who was charged alongside Trump and 17 others with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law, entered the plea just a day before jury selection was set to start in her trial.
She was initially charged with racketeering and six other counts as part of a wide-ranging scheme to keep the Republican president in power after he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden. Prosecutors say she also participated in an unauthorized breach of elections equipment in a rural Georgia county elections office.
Listening to the YouTube
Negotiated plea. I think it's a misdemeanor.
OH SHE'S TESTIFYING!
Why?
It's the number of Democrats isn't it?
The documents don't say that though.
Loomer is claiming that, but the documents don't say it.
There's a reference she doesn't understand and she interprets in a certain way.... .but does fully back up her interpretation.
I don't she is ever even claimed fraud.
It's not clear at all.
Give me a minute
ACN was a Multi Level Marketing company that Trump promoted. Trump was being paid by ACN for his endorsement.
In 2018 a class action suit was filed by four investors in ACN alleging fraud, misrepresentation and unfair or deceptive practices.
ACN is a multi-level marketing company. To have the right to sell ACN products, an IBO must pay a sign-up fee and an annual renewal fee. An IBO then receives a commission on any sales of ACN products the IBO makes. IBOs also receive payment for recruiting others to sign up as IBOs and receive a commission on any sales made by IBOs they recruit. ACN IBOs are encouraged to host small gatherings or one-on-one meetings to recruit potential members. At these meetings, IBOs overwhelmingly use marketing materials created by ACN, per ACN’s instructions. Between February 6, 2006, and June 20, 2015, (the “Endorsement Period”) Trump and ACN were parties to a series of endorsement agreements under which Trump agreed to provide a celebrity endorsement of ACN in return for payment. On February 6, 2006, Trump and ACN entered into the first such agreement, pursuant to which ACN paid Trump one million dollars for the endorsement and an additional one million dollars for appearing at ACN events.
Trial is set for Jan 2024. Unclear if the case is throw out or just the class action part, which I think would mean only these four can be part of the suit.

OK found the issue. Case is not thrown out, but judge wants them to explain why this won't be send back to individual cases in their local state courts. The plaintiffs are from different states.
found the ruling. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24038327-mckoyvtrumpclasscertord101723
What's the fraud. Read the article....I don't even see an accusation of fraud.
U.S. Central Command has had an air base in Qatar for 20 years.
What's the actual claim here?
Giuliani & Trump working in tandem with FBI/DOJ (prior to their now corruption/two-tiered justice system) to bring down branches of organized crime.
This didn't happen. Trump didn't help to bring down organized crime, I have heard people talk about this, but it didn't happen. The closest thing that happened was Trump was working with a labor racketeer when he wanted a casino license and the NJ Gaming commission said you can't work with this guy. Trump told them the FBI said this guy is clean....Trump had learned or figured out the racketeer was also and FBI informant. The NJ calls the local FBI and they are like we don't know anything about this and the agent who handled this guy had to write a cover your ass statement to explain why people were blabbing about one of their informants which could put his life in danger and that he never vouched for the guy to anyone.
The real story was Trump was trying to play the FBI and NJ casino people off each other. He was business partners with the racketeer, they were in the drywall business and he didn't want to get out of that business and he wanted a casino license. So he tried to get his license and keep working with the racketeer. He told NJ, hey FBI said this guy is good, and told the FBI if you help me get my license you can do undercover work at the casino. This is the part people think actually happened. It never did. the casino didn't even exist that moment and it wouldn't exist for years.
Giuliani didn't work in tandem with DOJ. He was DOJ. He was a US attorney at the Southern District New York. That's one of the most important jobs at DOJ.
Rudy practically wrote the book on RICO laws
He did not. This is a misperception that Rudy has pushed to advance his political career.
RICO was written in 1970. The FBI never used RICO until 1978 in Louisiana, it was also used early against the Hell's Angels in California.
As I said the FBI got serious about the Mob in the late 1970's (After J. Edgar Hoover died.)
The reason the FBI did use the RICO law for years, was they didn't understand it and they had to learn how to use the RICO laws.....and the guy who did literally write the RICO laws told the FBI why aren't you using this, it's a great tool and he came up with the idea of doing a seminar on it.
He was a law professor at Cornell. So the FBI sent their organized crime agents to a week long RICO seminar at Cornell. This was the late 70s. Rudy did not become the US Attorney until 1983. The first NY mob case was in 1979 against the Gambino racketeer who controlled the new docks. The US attorney was Robert Fisk. This law article on was written by the guy who wrote the Rico laws.
Rudy was the beneficiary of a lot of work the FBI and DOJ were doing before he got to SDNY. The FBI had changed how they investigated the Mafia. The funded a long expensive wiretapping operation. SDNY had already begun bringing and winning RICO cases against the mob. The breakthroughs in the mid 80's were years in the making. The first cases Rudy brought, the wiretaps began two years before he came to SDNY.
Rudy does deserve credit, just not all of it. He hired Michael Chertoff and some of the other young assistant US Attorneys who actually prosecuted these cases. It's said he was the one who had the idea to prosecute the mafia Commission itself and that RICO would allow them to get the bosses. It's probably the most famous RICO case there is. But there wa a lot of momentum built up and the ball was rolling when he got there.
I highly recommend the Netflix Documentary on this. Fear City: New York vs The Mafia
She lives in Texas.
But she would be a fugitive and it would void her deal. Rather than 6 years of probation, she would get 6 years of time if they kept the misdemeanor charges she plead to. But something like that might bring back the full felony penalties. I don't know.
