Sidney Powell may have pleaded guilty to interfering in the 2020 presidential election, but she still seems to think President Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate.
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 are politically motivated. The newsletter published by her dark money group has shared articles arguing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “extorted” her guilty plea.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
She initially represented Trump, alongside Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis (who pleaded guilty on Monday), as part of the former president’s “Elite Strike Force” team of lawyers challenging his election loss.
On Monday, she asked her followers to watch “Police State,” a new movie from conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza, which argues that law enforcement is biased against former President Donald Trump, who currently faces four pending criminal cases.
Powell has also been promoting posts about the testimony of a witness in a separate, ongoing California disbarment trial for John Eastman, a co-defendant in the Atlanta criminal case and former Trump Justice Department official who sought to overturn the election results.
The newsletter bolded a passage arguing she couldn’t get a fair trial with “a jury culled from deep-blue Fulton County” and pointing out that the misdemeanors she pleaded guilty to “would be discharged from Powell’s record following probation.”
Ronald Carlson, a professor at the University of Georgia School of Law, told Insider that Powell’s comments are unusual for a cooperating witness, who is likely to be asked to testify on behalf of the prosecution at a trial.
But in Monday’s newsletter, Defending the Republic shared a Truth Social post from Trump praising Powell’s “valiant job of representing a very unfairly treated and governmentally abused General Mike Flynn.”
