The DA in Fulton county traded a RICO felony case for 6 misdemeanors....Thats the DA scrambling to save her case
DA's regularly provide lower charges for criminals if they turn states evidence on the bigger fish. This is merely another example of this.
Most of the charges against Ms. Powell involved thedata breach at the Coffee County elections office. There, on the day after the Jan. 6 riot, Trump allies copied sensitive and proprietary software used in voting machines throughout the state to hunt for ballot fraud. Ms. Powell was not there, but she was one of the lawyers who hired a consulting firm, SullivanStrickler, that assisted in the effort. The firm invoiced Ms. Powell more than $26,000 for its work, and her organization, Defending the Republic, paid the bill. Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state, subsequently replaced Coffee County’s voting machines and said that “the unauthorized access to the equipment” had violated Georgia law. Ms. Powell’s restitution will go toward covering the costs of replacing the election equipment, prosecutors said.
Sidney Powell turning apparently led to a trove of 15,000 emails showing the the guilt of others in the Coffee County election machine hacking being turned over to prosecutors. Misty Hampton, the former election supervisor for Coffee County -- who is charged in the indictment -- is apparently at the center of the emails.

And cooperation and testifying against others in the case.The case against the others just got stronger. Federal prosecutors gave Sammy The Bull a few years in prison for over 20 murders for cooperation and testifying against others murders for
