ATLANTA (AP) — Lawyer Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to reduced charges Thursday over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election in Georgia, becoming the second defendant in the sprawling case to reach a deal with prosecutors.
Spicy! I wonder what she gave up.
It’s amazing how frequently Trump’s lawyers end up convicted of serious crimes. Combine that with his history of refusing to pay them and it makes you wonder why even the sludge scraped off the bottom of the barrel is willing to represent him these days.
Because each sludge lawyer thinks “sure, Trump stiffed all his previous lawyers and many of them ended up in prison and/or losing their law licenses, but I’m smart and loyal to Trump. This won’t happen to ME!”
A few months later, they are facing prison and a brand new lawyer is telling themselves that THEY won’t go through this because THEY are smart and loyal. And the cycle continues.
