He faces up to five years in prison.

Hell no, he should get a medal of honor.

“One simple solution: Let’s have this trial after the election and solve the problem,” Mr Lauro had earlier proposed.

Oh, yes, giving him more time to spread lies about his detractors, and potentially allowing him to get into a position he could use to bypass the trial or pardon himself. That totally sounds like a reasonable, unbiased proposal.

On Thursday morning — one day before the scheduled start of jury selection for her joint trial with attorney Kenneth Chesebro — Powell appeared in Fulton County Superior Court to plead guilty to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties.

Under the plea deal, Powell will serve six years of probation, pay a $6,000 fine, pay restitution of $2,700 to the state that covers the cost of replacing election equipment, write an apology letter and testify truthfully in future hearings and trials, as well as provide “any requested documents or evidence subject to any lawful privileges asserted in good faith prior to entering this plea.”

Lawyer Cheseboro authored memos detailing how Republicans could send false slates of electors to Congress. Cheseboro is now set to go to trial alone.

A trial date has not been set for Trump and the remaining co-defendants.

The updated indictment that she pled guilty to:

And I thought the pool I was in once with about 50 total took a long time to sort out…

Sure waited 'till the last minute, didn’t he. Wonder if Powell’s decision yesterday finally made him flinch.

I’ve always found it interesting how often they take the deal when all of a sudden they are looking at a seated jury, all of whom are pissed about being there, and are giving the defendant the stink eye for wasting their time. I’ve been on several juries where that’s happened.

I haven’t had the pleasure of serving on a French jury yet, but I’m looking forward to it eventually. Jury trials are somewhat less common here; many trials are bench trials, with just a judge determining the outcome.

Wish I’d been in the one I mentioned. I ended up in the last group from the pool to be pulled from for potential service. Whole rest of the courthouse had shut down and locked up before the lawyers finally decided they didn’t need someone from our group to fill out the jury. We had to be escorted through the deserted, darkened building to have the door unlocked so we could leave.

…and then it turned out that the paperwork wasn’t completed to mark our group as having done our job, so I had to show back up the next morning and explain things to several layers of bureaucracy(while asking if I’d missed something, because I didn’t want to be in trouble for it) before I could go. :roll_eyes:

Pocket change. That’s not how you get through to him.

I think the judge is giving him a chance to watch himself before he jails him, so we’ll see if takes the hint or not.
