This is very very bad for Trump because Powell is also a defendant in Jack Smith's federal case being tried under Judge Chutkan.
Powell obviously knows that her guilty plea in Georgia can and will be used by Smith in the federal case, so what it basically says is that she's going to be a cooperating witness (she really has no choice) for Smith as well.
Powell was there at the infamous December 18th meeting wherein things like shutting down all voting and declaring martial law were allegedly discussed. This in turn means that she can provide convincing and potentially damning evidence as to Trump's knowledge of and intent with regard to how the election had actually played out, and specifically with regard to his desire to overturn it.
There's a lot more to be said about this, but I have to go make dinner.
Trump's biggest defense against her testimony was attorney/client privilege.
And now he's saying that didn't exist.
I hope your making popcorn for all of us!
