Trump goes down in history as the most corrupt President along with Nixon.
And they keep falling like dominos. Love it!!
Wow only slanted a little huh?
Russian laughing at America..
Yeehaw! Let the domino's fall!
The Big Lie is Kraken wide open.
Come on Sidney and Fani, bring out Jim's name! 😂
Notice she was the only mugshot who is smiling…..
Beyond interesting 🤔
I just read through Sydney's plea deal. EVERY felony was dropped. There was no mention of Trump. The RICO charge disappeared. It was changed to misdemeanors. Now, you obviously didn't do a simple fact check. Which is why no one I know believes anything you report or even watches your network today. If I were running the FCC your organization and all its staff would disappear, be gone, bankrupted, indicted for treason and reckless endangerment. Need an army of attorneys to defend yourselves. As is your right in America. So, too, is it right for an army of Americans to sue you into the next solar system for all the damage to this great country you may have caused. I think it's coming.
Powell was never trumps lawyer she stood by his side and spoke about the kraken but she was never in trumps team trump did not hire her she spoke on her own that’s why she is testifying and is in trouble 🤣
The Kraken has fallen, I wonder if there's a Witness Protection clause in her deal. She's gonna need it, cause the MAGA hats aren't going to be happy about this.
Sidney Powell is saying "They don't call me the "Kranklan" for northing! You can now call me Back-Stabber, I'm no Fool"
No moral turpitude. This means the kraken lady gets to keep her bar card. She needs to do real federal felony time now and lose her bar card in the J-6 trial. I don't want to see her skate. Probation, what a joke. It will probably be dropped after 2 years. Her testimony better be rock sold damning against Trump, Meadows, Giuliani, Eatman & Clark. or what's the point and honestly, I'm not sure what she can offer to worth this deal.
Sorry trump haters this will end up being nothing again! Get it through your hard heads, he is the Teflon Don! He will matrix right out of this and turn it all back on them and they will all be the ones doing time and disbarred! Don’t doubt it! 🥷💯
Oh ya and he will be the next president 47 😂 so get over it!
Less than $10,000 in fine for tampering with the election process. The VERY fabric of Democracy! There are people doing decades of prison time for much less. America really needs to look at its justice system.
Trump haters are only too easily convinced he’s guilty, regardless. I love Sidney Powell and I trust whatever she decides to do. Trump did too.
Okay, Syd. Now dish.
Predictable. She was terrified in her mug shot. Jail + suicide vs flip = flip.
If Sidney's predicament plays out well, it may be the initial salvo that drives to Trump's being absolved if his counsels are accomplished.

Sidney Powell finally tells the truth in that she is guilty and a willing coconspirator in trumps attempt to steal the 2020 election. who willbe next hah hah ahah
Nice to hear as it may bode very well for Donald Trump- Sidney Powell is the blockbuster of the day, and legal minds will be inferring with certainty. Am I not right?

So they gave her a slap on the wrist so she can testify against Trump….sure…she wouldn’t lie now.
The courts are rigged there are no fair judges in Georgia.
Cbs such left fake news and against American people and thru years spread lie and never tell full truth this wont go any where.FUNNY HOW THEY DONT SAY THEY WERE allowed by coffe County to look at machines but think this rico is gonna scare people to lie or twist facts against trump
How would Geof know that democrats win in Georgia.
There are two completely different justice systems in the US as the rich and connected rarely ever do time. She got no jail time and a $7k fine for trying to overthrow a Presidential election based on lies and deception
the kraken has cracked! M.A.G.A. making attorney's get attorney's 😊
Well Trump will say that it was her and the other attorneys that got him believed that the election was stolen.And he will say that he is not a lawyer, but they are.
The lies come from the leaders in that state.
Actually, Sidney Powell was acting as Trump's attorney, and therefore, attorney client privilege may apply to some items the prosecutor is looking for, Trump fired her because she wanted to release the evidence the military had on the election theft from the voting machines, & Trump didn't want to do that because he feared violence would erupt all over our country.
Interesting enough, during the first week of August 2023 of this year, Trump posted on his Truth Social that the military was in the machines recording all the votes getting stolen from Trump.
