Another fucking “got’em” article. Sidney Powell plead guilty and she’s still not cooperating, they’re all doing it and stalling and hoping for pardons.

I presume her plea deal depends on cooperation. You can just assume Republicans are lying when their lips move outside of courtrooms.

Why only outside court? there have been little to no real consequences for lying in court either.

I still believe they’re trying to shoot the moon on crimes & insurrection.

That's because as scummy as Republicans are, they change their story once under oath. They are rightly afraid of perjury. The legal system is the one domain in which there are consequences for telling obvious lies.

She's a lying garbage human being....she lied all the time for Trump and invented her bullshit title "constitutional" expert.

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Dingbats ruined their lives for Donald Trump... Smh. Now MAGA wants them dead and everyone else that's a rational human doesn't want to associate with someone that tried to subvert democracy.
