Sidney Powell may have pleaded guilty to interfering in the 2020 presidential election, but she still seems to think President Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate.

On her social media accounts, Powell has continued to push claims that the 2020 election was rigged and that prosecutors in Georgia who brought the criminal case against her are politically motivated. The newsletter published by her dark money group has shared articles arguing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “extorted” her guilty plea.

    I feel like publicly announcing she felt coerced would automatically recind the deal, but maybe this falls under the freedom of speech to lie all you want to the people as long as you aren’t under oath that Trump was trying to argue.

      Supreme Court doesn’t consider the sentence to be coercion. See the Alford case, were Alford was facing death. She didn’t make an Alford plea, but feeling coerced by the sentence is acceptable.
