Three of former President Donald Trump’s legal advisors have entered guilty pleas in an ongoing criminal case in Fulton County, Georgia in the past week, but former prosecutor David Gelman said those plea deals are unlikely to help prosecutors convict the former president.
...
Mr. Gelman said defendants often enter plea agreements because they can’t keep up with their legal costs and predicted many of the remaining defendants in this case would likely do the same.
He said it would be difficult to know how President Trump’s legal team will respond until they know how these other defendants may testify.
“What are they going to offer? That is the whole question on this. And if I’m the defense attorneys for Donald Trump, remember, they’re going to have the opportunity to cross-examine all these individuals who have cut plea deals and who are allegedly going to testify against him,” Mr. Gelman said.
In any case, the prosecutor-turned-defense attorney argued that any co-defendants who do take plea deals won’t be able to prove President Trump intended to commit a crime.
 
I think some might actually see that this is a witchhunt. Those who caved to political pressure probably have something being held over their heads other than trying to overturn elections. Political blackmail is nothing new.
 
This country is going to hell in a handbasket, and there are only a few things we can do about it...pray, seek God's face, turn from our wicked ways, keep witnessing for the Lord, and discipling others. Mr. Trump has sullied his own reputation in ways the Democrats have only contributed to. TBH, in some ways I feel sorry for him, but, in a majority of things, I have very little sympathy for him. His motormouth has helped turn some of his staunchest supporters against him.
 

Former President Donald Trump's erstwhile chief of staff, Mark Meadows, has denied claims made in a recent ABC News report that he's "flipped" on his former boss and agreed to testify before special counsel Jack Smith's team in exchange for immunity.
The denial—made by Mr. Meadow's attorney in a statement to CBS News and to The Independent—stems from a story run by ABC News on Oct. 24 that cited anonymous sources and broadly claimed Mr. Meadows had agreed to testify under oath and didn't believe some of President Trump's claims that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen."
...
"Mark Meadows NEVER told me that allegations of significant fraud (about the RIGGED Election!) were baseless," President Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "He certainly didn't say that in his book!"
Mr. Meadows wrote in his book that it was the duty of President Trump's team to investigate any claims of fraud or voting irregularities, in part out of a responsibility to the tens of millions of Trump voters that he said believed "were cheated out of another four years of President Trump."
...
“I don’t think Mark Meadows would lie about the Rigged and Stollen [sic] 2020 Presidential Election merely for getting IMMUNITY against Prosecution (PERSECUTION!) by Deranged Prosecutor, Jack Smith.”
“BUT, when you really think about it, after being hounded like a dog for three years, told you’ll be going to jail for the rest of your life, your money and your family will be forever gone, and we’re not at all interested in exposing those that did the RIGGING—If you say BAD THINGS about that terrible ‘MONSTER,’ DONALD J. TRUMP, we won’t put you in prison, you can keep your family and your wealth.”
“Some people would make that deal, but they are weaklings and cowards, and so bad for the future of our Failing Nation. I don’t think that Mark Meadows is one of them, but who really knows?”
