The new Speaker of the House is a conspiracy theorist who bought into the Sidney Powell malarkey. In November of 2020, representative Mike Johnson gave a radio interview and echoed her discredited conspiracy theory involving Hugo Chávez and Dominion voting systems.

"In every election in American history, there's some small element of fraud irregularity," Johnson said. "But when you have it on a broad scale, when you have a software system that is used all around the country that is suspect because it came from Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, when you have testimonials of people that like this, but in large numbers, it begs to be litigated and investigated."

Well, Louisiana does rank 46th in education including Pre-K through 12th and 49th in higher education, so evidently he's a sad example of his state's educational institutions. Go Tigers!

already from Sidney Powell :

her plea compliance terms must be weak, and\or hard evidence must be amazing.

Sid's sharp legal skills remain intact...Willis's office 'extorted' her plea by threatening her with jail time ' which is, indeed, more or less how plea bargains usually work.

Pretty slick, reframing a prosecution as extortion.

Get busted for anything - failure to report for jury service, speeding, trespassing, theft, assault - simply claim the risk of being found tried and sentenced is tantamount to extortion, so one had to plead guilty.

Apparently MAGAs are willing to buy this inanity.
