Let's watch Charlie Kirk try to hold it together for his eager Republican rubes, shall we?

CHARLIE KIRK: So let me build this out for you. The fact that the Fulton County District Attorney is willing to drop charges down to misdemeanors for Sydney Powell shows that there is a plan and the plan is to build the case.

Of course, what I'm getting at is that this is, if your goal is to try to get Trump, this is a problem because one of Trump's advantages in this Georgia case as it looked like it was just a wild woman who was trying to build a political career.

It still is, but cooler heads have now taken over. Sydney Powell was facing all of this stuff -- seven years in prison. Why?

Well, they sit in a room, and they whiteboard this stuff out, cause and effect, and they whiteboard it. We have no plan on our side. There's no plan.

We can't elect a speaker. We have a contentious primary, you know, totally unnecessarily and wrong… We're too busy attacking each other, the Republican establishment is attacking me.
You have the whole thing happening in the House of Representatives. It is a mess. It's a disaster. It's the worst I've ever seen it.

Some people are going to accuse Sidney Powell of betraying Trump.

She was probably broke financially, and they backed her into a corner, okay? So I would recommend just laying off Sydney Powell with all of these kinds of like “she's a terrible person.”
All this if you're ever in that situation -- look at how many January 6th defendants were broke, okay?

Now then, there is a big problem. If she testifies.

The only way that this really is a problem is if Sidney Powell made something up and then went to prosecutors and said, we're here to work on, you know, something against Trump, and they were so attracted to that.

Or what if she wasn't making something up, Charlie? What if, as an attorney, she knew a guilty plea would keep her out of Georgia's state prison system? And testifying against Trump is far less painful than the thousands she's paying in fines. And no mention of her law license, though moving those charges from felonies to misdemeanors might mean she can still do condo closings in Kissimmee Florida. My money is on Sidney looking after Sidney.
