Attorney Molly McCann Sanders, formerly of counsel with Powell, maintained that Powell is “innocent,” but believes she “made the right decision.”
“Sidney Powell is absolutely innocent,” she wrote on X. “The fact that Fani Willis dropped all 7 felonies tells the tale. She had no case, but she did have the coercive power of the state.”
She pointed to the liberal jury Powell would have faced had she gone to trial.
“Criminal prosecution is crushing, and it has become clear that juries are no longer the protection to unjust prosecution they were created to be,” she said. “Juries in these Democrat strongholds convict political opponents. It’s that chilling and simple. And the process of a trial alone is, as I say, crushing.”
“She hasn’t ‘flipped,'” McCann Sanders stated of Powell’s plea deal. “She has made the right decision for herself and her family.”
“The rest of us should be very afraid, though,” she warned. “Why should any successful lawyer put his or her head above the foxhole in future election struggles if the weaponized state can manufacture crimes to destroy them after the fact?”
