Clickbait title.

"To me, what's most significant about both of these deals is that they are no jail deals. So one, Sidney Powell pleads guilty to some misdemeanors and Chesebro to a felony, but neither of them are serving jail. The only reason you would ever agree to that as a prosecutor is if they are providing evidence against higher ups," Katyal, the former acting solicitor general of the United States during the Obama administration, said.

Note that the same crimes were committed in other states where they may not be offered the same deal. They both may end up doing time for election fraud, just not in Georgia.

Are those states likely to care about law and order in this particular instance?

Honest question.

[-] Bridger 1 points 8 months ago

I can't answer your question directly but as I understand it there are several other states either considering or preparing cases concerning the fake electors scheme. Powell and chesebro's submitted documents and testimony under oath in Georgia will be admissible in other states.
