Andrew Weissmann:对Sidney Powell和Kenneth Chesbrough认罪一事,应谨慎解读媒体的结论,需理解认罪协议的细节才能做出判断。他详细解释了联邦层面的合作协议一般流程,包括与政府合作、认罪、作证和最终判决,并对Powell和Chesbrough是否充分合作表示怀疑,认为他们提供的证词可能不够全面,且特朗普是否聘用Powell作为律师的问题是次要的。他还表达了对Powell和Chesbrough认罪协议的担忧,认为如果他们没有充分合作,那么不判处监禁是不合适的。最后,他对Sidney Powell是否会被传唤作证表示怀疑,因为她此前曾公开撒谎。 Mary McCord:Sidney Powell和Kenneth Chesbrough都与特朗普及其竞选活动有关,参与了挑战2020年大选结果以及虚假选举人计划。特朗普声称Sidney Powell从未担任过他的律师,这将影响富尔顿县案件和1月6日相关的联邦案件。她解释了佐治亚州的认罪协议与联邦系统不同之处,重点在于佐治亚州初犯法案(First Offender Act)的影响,以及协议中关于作证和信息披露的条款。她还指出,即使Powell和Chesbrough的证词不涉及特朗普,特朗普声称Powell并非其律师的说法仍然可能在其他诉讼中被提及,并可能影响到特朗普的“律师建议”抗辩。此外,她对Powell和Chesbrough利用初犯法案认罪感到不满,认为他们所犯的罪行极其严重。最后,她解释了华盛顿特区法官暂停禁言令的决定,以及这一决定对案件进程的影响,并讨论了特朗普提出的总统豁免权主张,以及政府对此的回应。
