Two of Donald Trump’s key election lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, surrendered Wednesday on charges in the Georgia election subversion case.

    This is mildly impressive. I would not have expected Trump’s toadies to be booked and mugshot because, as of yet, Trump himself hasn’t been handcuffed, perp-walked, or mugshot himself.

    We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

    I am fucking thrilled that Sidney Powell in particular got snatched up. She was just so, so awful. Absolutely the signpost at the intersection of Stupid St and Evil Ave.

      It’s weird that I generally have been following this but have no idea who she is. Do you have any place for me to start reading?

        I don’t have anywhere to start reading, but she was pretty vocally involved with the whole alternate electors and election fraud shit. She was on Fox, and other places, pretty frequently pushing it. She was probably more the face of it than Rudy was. I’m not sure how you haven’t heard about her, but she wasn’t hiding. It should be easy to find.

        Just her wikipedia article will get you a general feel. She’s the deep end of Q. Election lies, antivaxx but less on the “it should be my choice” side and more on the “babies of vaxxed parents are born with all-black eyes and sharp teeth/the vaccine makes you magnetic in order to power the surveillance microchip in it” side. She’s at least a 4 time veteran of suing the government about the election and losing, and she eventually went so far off the rails that the Trump legal team sorta disowned her in public though she still met with him in private while he was president. She’s a hateful, harmful monster who was willing to do anything to seize power. Now she’s gonna go to jail, which is dope.

        Let them slowly out themselves one by one. Each and every time they get reamed by PD or the FBI. All the j6 losers have been getting wrecked in court. Keep it coming.

        We are stuck having to deal with these rejects, the very least we can hope for is that they continue to fuck up at literally anything they try to do and get nailed to the wall by the justice system.

    I will pay ten dollars if anyone sees her walk out of courtroom or police station and screams “the kraken is released”.

      We’re all witnesses here: ten dollars to support your favorite lemmy instance.

      Can we throw some funny hat wearing just for comedic purposes?
