    Okay but Powell made a deal and then publicly stated that she made the deal because she had to and it was a lie.

    Like she went out and publicly stated the same lie that got her into this mess.

    So unless the justice department takes her public statements seriously, then it’ll be meaningless.

        That’s obvious to you and I, but we need it to be obvious to those who aren’t paying that much attention, or worse are assuming that the court was a lie and this is the truth.

        The justice system needs to take a heavy hand here to people that are being prosecuted for pushing these false claims. If they plead out, then they need to either acknowledge that publicly or shut up publicly.

        And before anyone starts claiming “free speech”, we’ve already crossed that line, it was her words and actions that got her here. Continuing them in defiance of her plea deal should nullify the plea deal. Seems fairly straight forward.
