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!

Scott Hall's plea deal was:
Hall's flip was an indicator to all the other defendants, witnesses, potential witnesses, defense attorneys, and pretty much all sentient life in the universe, that the DA wants cooperation, and is willing to be very generous in order to get it.
While Hall's charges were dropped to misdemeanors under a "first offense" guideline, Kerik is not currently charged with anything, although he is definitely known as a co-conspirator. It is reasonable for Kerik to seek some kind of immunity (there are various levels) in exchange for full testimony, so long as those potential charges are looming - otherwise he would have no choice but to plead the fifth, and then possibly end up being charged anyway. He's got nowhere else to go than negotiating immunity from prosecution and giving full testimony. Hall was the first domino, Kerik is looking like he'll be the second, much larger domino.
Since Hall pleaded guilty to misdemeanor conspiracy charges, there is a conspiracy, and his is specifically about Coffee County voting machine fuckery. I expect that Sidney Powell and Misty Hampton are right next in line for being the next dominos to fall. Hampton would probably go first; Hall's flip should have been enough for her to do the same, because she's relatively low on the totem pole. Powell is higher, and may wait to see how Kerik's deal gets worked out before also finishing her negotiation.
Shit's about to get real.
Very fucking generous, indeed.
So basically come all the way clean, tell us you're sorry and don't mess up again at all but especially not in the next five years.
