Now that Sidney Powell has pleaded “guilty” in the Georgia case situation, wherein she attempted to overturn the 2020 election result, she has promised to testify in future court proceedings  against her colleagues, which include Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Jena Ellis, John Easton and Donald Trump. In doing so, she will apparently be spared jail time in the Georgia State Penitentiary but must pay a modest fine and will be put on six years’ probation. Had she gone to trial and been convicted, Powell would not only have risked going to prison but would also have had her law license suspended. Apparently, she determined that the evidence against her was too strong to overcome – but she was determined she did not want to serve time in prison.

So, what happens next? No doubt, Powell’s testimony will provide further damage to the defense of the other people who have been indicted – and whose convictions could draw even more severe penalties than those threatening Powell. So now, everyone is watching who will be the next to plead “guilty” and whether there will be a rush among those indicted to recognize they have no viable defense. As others defect and plead guilty, those remaining will have diminished leverage to made deals. It’s a prosecutor’s dream. At the end of this line, Trump awaits his own denoument..
