Sidney Powell May Be Compelled to Lie After Plea Deal, Co-Defendant’s Lawyer Says

The conspiracy law is construed in such a way that people can be saddled with hefty sentences based on a little more than association, argued Harvey Silverglate

Former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell may be forced to lie in court due to a plea bargain she accepted in exchange for escaping a racketeering conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia, according to a lawyer for one of the co-defendants.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged Ms. Powell, President Trump and 17 others with a racketeering conspiracy and other crimes for their efforts to challenge the 2020 election results in Georgia. M. Powell was only accused of taking part in one part of the sprawling case, allegedly having a data forensics company, SullivanStrickler, copy data from election machines and computers in Coffee County, Georgia, without authorization on Jan. 7, 2021. The data was meant to be examined for evidence of election fraud.
