Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Man these guys are flipping like no tomorrow.
As was the plan all along. Charge all of the mob underlings in hopes that some/all of them flip on their boss and strengthen the case against him. Each flip moves the walls in juuuuust a bit closer on the Orange Orangutan.
It really is like a mob trial. Maybe the GOP should change their nickname to MOB (not sure what the letters could stand for though, not clever enough today).
They already call their conference the Five Families after the Mafia.

When Sidney Powell and this guy were both angling for early trials I figured something was up. When the Kraken flipped the other day I figured it was only a matter of time before this news dropped.
We can't get too excited. We don't yet know how they'll testify. These sentences are far too lenient as well. Misdemeanors for Sidney?? A single felony for Chesebro? No jail time for either? ?That's bullshit for someone committing treason against the US and trying to overturn an election.
These deals are contingent on their testimony. The prosecution knows what their testimony will be, and has reserved the right to withdraw the deal and send them to trial if they fail to provide fully open and honest testimony. In Powell's case in particular, she's already provided a statement to prosecutors essentially detailing what she'll say on the stand.
I'll take them getting lenient sentencing if it means a better chance at taking out the Orange fuck.
