Jan. 6 defense lawyers ‘gobsmacked’ by Trump ally’s plea deal
Many rioters who stormed the Capitol received long prison sentences. Sidney Powell, an architect of the effort to subvert the election, negotiated a misdemeanor plea deal and cooperation agreement.
When Sidney Powell, a top ally of Donald Trump, pleaded guilty Thursday to crimes associated with the 2020 election, lawyers for many Jan. 6 defendants were stunned by her relatively meager sentence: six years of probation and a modest fine.
For years, those lawyers — and some judges — have lamented that the thousands who breached the Capitol were used as pawns and dupes by Trump, Powell and their associates in a bid to subvert the election. So Powell’s plea was the first taste of accountability for Trump’s inner circle. Yet her punishment, Jan. 6 defense lawyers noted, paled in comparison to even some of the low-level offenders who entered the Capitol that day and now face consequences that may dog them for life.
Yeah idk, maybe.
But all of a sudden "Gobsmacked" is the word of the week.
Jesus christ people try and at least kind-of think for yourselves.
At least "Full Throated" has died.
It got "Slammed"
Some think it's based, but I think it's cringe. I just yoink it, then yeet it the hell out of here.
You're a bad person.
Why you gotta yuck my yum?
Are they still using “unprecedented”? Because that was starting to get annoying.
