Uh oh! 

Trump co-defendant pleads guilty in Georgia election interference case

One of 18 co-defendants of former President Donald Trump has pleaded guilty to five charges in the Georgia election interference case.

Bail bondsman Scott Hall has struck a plea deal with prosecutors that requires him to testify against others.

The former Republican poll watcher is accused of trying to gain access to sensitive election equipment in Coffee County, Georgia.

The arrangement marks the first plea deal in the case.

During a hearing before Fulton Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Friday, Hall, 59, pleaded guilty to five counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties.

As part of the deal, Hall will get five years probation. He will also have to pay a $5,000 (£4,000) fine, testify against other defendants in the case, complete 200 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to Georgia voters. He is also banned from future election administration-related activities.

Looks like Sidney Powell is going to prison unless she flips too.

Yes, he is a direct threat to her position, so....she might. 

But whatever happens...she is permanently professionally buggered.  Stupid ego driven third rate Lawyer.

Link.

Note the comments of Glenn Kirschner in that Link.  I have been following him for a while and he is pretty much always on the money.

Yeah, I follow Kirschner too (because justice matters) as well as Litman.

This stupid woman Powell has ruined her life, and for what?

I'll never understand how these cult leaders get their followers to do the things they do.

(I'm thinking seriously about doing a PhD on cults)

Anyway, I hope Powell does a plea deal and this trickles down to Giuliani.

I doubt he'll do a plea deal himself so there's the real chance we could see him get locked up (maybe for the rest of his life) and that would be fantastic. 

That creepy little sleazeball needs to be removed from society for the sake of all women females and for the sake of US democracy.

Trump is the anointed one, the Savior, the Messiah who
will lead us out of wilderness.

Biden is the Antichrist who will preside over the end of the world
if he wins the election.

"You can bet that at least 1/2 the defendants in Fulton County are right this second on the phones to their attorneys trying to suss out Hall's deal and what they might be able to get if they come in quickly," former federal prosecutor Harry Litman wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

"It's a particularly ominous situation for Sidney Powell, whose allegations also concern that episode."

The more trumpards they lock up, the better

I'm happy to see the lower down morons do plea deals to get out of going to prison, as long as they testify against Trump & Giuliani so that those two creeps eventually end up in a cell.

Now that one has flipped, the others will start doing it too.

Trump will drain the swamp - he'll lock them up.

He has already said he'll get a special prosecutor to go after them.

It’s probably fair to say that Hall does not have a household name, but as the original Fulton County indictment made clear, he’s a local bail bondsman. As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, he was indicted “in connection with the breach of sensitive voting data in Coffee County in South Georgia. He had been charged with racketeering and six counts of conspiracy.”

Under the terms of the plea agreement, Hall has pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit election fraud, conspiracy to commit computer theft, conspiracy to commit computer trespass, conspiracy to commit computer invasion of privacy, and conspiracy to defraud the state.

As NBC News’ report added, “Under the terms of the deal, he’s being sentenced to five years probation, and agreed to ‘testify truthfully in this case and all further proceedings.’”

It’s that last point that’s of particular interest given the larger set of circumstances. If Hall agrees to start cooperating with prosecutors as part of his plea agreement — if, in other words, he’s “flipped” — then it opens the door to possible new information that might be used against other defendants.

And loving it, Greggery. The Superior Man relishes a challenge. What cruel twist will life bring to me today? He asks. Bring it on!

In the words of Billy Ocean, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Wise words indeed, no? Nietzsche said exactly the same thing. .

Prisoners are allowed one toothbrush, which they can turn into a shiv by sharpening the end on the floor of their cells. They can then use this to defend themselves out on the wing. Rudy's been giving them instructions. He knows all this from his days prosecuting mobsters. Do you see?

Something as harmless as a toothbrush can be turned into a dangerous weapon. The Superior Man studies these things. He knows his Sun Tzu off by heart. There are countless ways that Rudy, Sidney can turn their situation to their benefit. For example, if an inmate stands over them to take their desert, they can practice gratitude, thanking and praising their fellow prisoner for helping them mind their waistline. There are literally dozens of ways this simple practice can be applied to our lives each day if we look.

Stealing Mr Trump's $10,000 shoes that he left outside his cell to be cleaned? Mr Trump always needed a pair with non-slip soles, thank you. Pouring boiling water on him in the shower? Mr Trump was struggling to get the temperature right, thank you. Getting jumped on and sodomised by a gang of big, black bucks? Mr Trump experimented with sodomy back at military school, but never as recipient. It is a unique experience, thank you.

And how did they get so fit and strong? Do they work out in the Yard? The Superior Man's mind is constantly looking for ways to improve. There are countless ways to do so if we apply ourselves to the task.

Rudy and Sidney, great legal scholars, can use the time to brush up on their law. Mr Trump, a great political leader, can use the time to reach out to his constituents. How can he help them achieve their personal best and live their lives to the full? I wouldn't want to be the governor in such a jail, no sir. The big fella will be writing him letters, demanding meetings and fighting for his fellow prisoners' rights every minute of the day!

Mr Trump will have his trusted Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, his lawyer Rudy, his Valet Walt. In many ways, it will be like old times, back in the White House. If they can request a bigger desk from the governor, they can turn Mark's cell into an Oval Office. After breakfast, chores and some executive time, Mr Trump can turn up to Mark's cell at 11am, do a few meetings and finish up at four, same as they did in the White House.

So much winning. When the Superior Man is given lemons, he makes lemonade. Remember that, leftards. When the big fella and his team have done their time in Georgia, the Trump administration will be back, ready to go.

FOUR MORE YEARS.
