Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Bail bondsman Scott Graham Hall was involved in the Coffee County voting machine fuckery along with Sidney Powell and Misty Hampton. This hearing was not on the schedule, and was held ad hoc.

Spoiler:

On five counts, $5000 fine ($1000 per), five years probation (one year per), letter of apology to the State of Georgia, required to testify truthfully in relation to this case and any other defendant.

Probation requires he surrender his weapons carry license. His probation will revert to non-reporting probation after two and a half years. There are no travel restrictions.

Other reporting says that there are also 200 hours of community service added to the above sentence, but I did not see that mentioned in the hearing. I may have missed it.

This is a full flip. Now other defendants know what they should expect if they flip.

First to flip gets the best deal.

I haven't followed this one - it's interesting that his attorney is out of Miami.

In a Friday court appearance before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, he pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor counts of “conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties.”

One, this means that, legally speaking, there is at least one conspiracy. Whether this conspiracy is part and parcel of the greater RICO charges (Narrator: It is.) is yet to be demonstrated in court.

Two, because he has pleaded to a conspiracy, there must be at least one other participant. Since these five misdemeanor counts are in relation to the Coffee County voting machine fuckery, one would have to presume that Sidney Powell and Misty Hampton are Hall's co-conspirators in relation to these counts.

This really encourages Misty Hampton and Sidney Powell to flip. From my reading, all of their charges are in relation to that same Coffee County fuckery. Brokering a plea deal like Hall's, where they plead guilty to the same misdemeanors, and get similar "fine plus probation plus you have to testify" is the only way out for them.
