Sidney Powell is the second to do so…
There WILL be more…..
Trump-aligned attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts in the Georgia 2020 election interference case Thursday after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors, the second defendant in the sweeping case to do so.
Powell appeared before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to enter her plea, just days before her trial was scheduled to begin next week….
…
McAfee accepted Powell’s plea and said that she cannot withdraw it. She was sentenced to six years of probation, a $6,000 fine and $2,700 restitution. She will also be required to “testify truthfully” in future proceedings and must turn over any documents requested by the district attorney’s office.
Powell was also required to submit a “letter of apology” to Georgia residents, which her lawyer indicated she had already done.
Powell is the second of 19 co-defendants in the case to plead guilty. The other 17, including Trump, have denied any wrongdoing.
Scott Hall, a bail bondsman who was also charged, pleaded guilty late last month to five counts of the same charge Powell did….
…
Once a lawyer for Trump’s campaign, Powell became a powerful surrogate for the former president’s false claims of election fraud.
There’s a Federal angle in this?

Sidney Powell Says Prosecutors Extorted Her
“Sidney Powell may have pleaded guilty to interfering in the 2020 US presidential election, but she still seems to think President Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate,” Insider reports.
“On her social-media accounts, Powell has continued to push claims that the 2020 election was rigged and that prosecutors in Georgia who brought the criminal case against her were politically motivated.”
