Hi, welcome to another episode of prosecuting Donald Trump. Today is Monday, October 23rd.

I'm Andrew Weissman.

I'm here with my fabulous co-host Mary McCord.

We're going to cover so much that happened last week, but the main event is what happened in Georgia with

Sydney Powell pleading guilty on day one and then on day two,

two, Kenneth Chesborough, pleading guilty,

and we really want to spend some time talking about that.

And we talked briefly beforehand, Mary, about that because we were prosecutors for so long, we want to make sure people understand why we are hesitant to make a lot of the conclusions that we're seeing in the coverage about it and to give people a sense of what's going on in our heads, give you tools,

and then you can make your own judgment about what's going on, but that's going to be the main part of what we talk about.

Yeah and just to remind everybody you know Sydney Powell and Kenneth Jess Pro both lawyers

both people who were associated with Trump and his campaign and the efforts to not only bring lots of lawsuits challenging the results of the 2020 election, but also to come up with the fraudulent elector scheme and in the case of

Sydney Powell to actually seek to seize voting machines from Coffey County

Georgia ostensibly to use these to substantiate her claims of a stolen election.

Now interestingly over the weekend Mr. Trump has been putting out social media posts

claiming that Sidney Powell was never his lawyer so we'll talk a little bit about what that means and what we can expect for both the Fulton County case going forward and the federal January 6

related case.

Yeah, what's so fascinating about that attorney-client

piece is something that got very little news

was that Judge McAfee, the state court judge, just prior to Kenneth

Chesburg pleading guilty, actually issued an opinion about the attorney

client privilege or should I say lack thereof, with respect to Kenneth

Chesborough.
