MAGA lawyer Sidney Powell has continued to peddle election conspiracies despite pleading guilty last week to her role in the 2020 election conspiracy in Georgia – and experts are saying she can’t have it both ways.
Powell pleaded guilty last Thursday to six charges related to her breach of election equipment and stealing sensitive voter information in Coffee County, Georgia. Prosecutors agreed to drop the racketeering charge as well as others, and allow her to avoid prison in exchange for a plea and cooperation with investigators.
But if it turns out she was unlawfully manipulated into taking the plea, the legal experts explained, the trial needs to start instead.
Wittes explained that Powell should know what happens if someone pleads guilty and then goes back on it – because she was serving as former Trump adviser Michael Flynn’s lawyer when he did exactly that.
