I don't think the DOJ needs a plea deal for a sure thing. Not when the defendant openly, repeatedly and confirmed through multiple sources admits to the crime.

A plea deal would never happen anyway, because it would require Trump to admit, in at least some capacity, that he did something wrong. And even if he did it, he'd be right back on social media crying about how he was coerced into it and it's all a witch hunt and hey can I have fifty bucks for legal fees.
I didn't consider that. But I still stand by what I said. If you've been having to do depositions establishing the guilt of your client and now he is being indicted, NOW is not a logical time to quit being his lawyer. NOW is quite late.
Trump case assigned to judge who faced criticism over her ruling in his favor in Mar-a-Lago search
The historic federal criminal case against former President Donald Trump has been assigned to a judge he appointed who faced blistering criticism over her earlier pro-Trump handling of a search warrant in his case. A person familiar with the development confirmed Friday the case was assigned to...

hug, he's getting off, isn't he?
What in the world, Jim Jordan?
What's funny to me is that even if he's right and Trump can legally declassify top secret documents without going through any kind of formal process and then store them in an outhouse, they apparently have no problem with such recklessness. They still think he's just swell and implicitly trust him with our national security.
The cult believes their orange god can do no wrong. Whether the GOP is part of the cult or just currying their favor for votes is probably down to individuals, but they're all interested in keeping their power, which means keeping the mob pointed at the other guys.
And of course, plenty of them also just want to throw shade at the Biden administration for the next election cycle; Biden may not actually have anything to do with the trials, but facts and logic don't really matter in the face of overwhelming outrage and stupidity.

We'll be lucky if any of the trials conclude before the election, regardless of verdict or sentencing.
Even leaving aside the knee-jerk defense of Trump, if we were to follow Jordan's logic, it would be impossible to accuse any President of wrongdoing. Whatever one thinks of the utility of impeachment, the fact that the process exists demonstrates that the founders considered it possible for a President to go bad.
Remember the founders, GOP? Those folks you supposedly hold in such high esteem?
Yeah, he's the freaking President of the United States. He would know if janitors should be reading about France's nuclear arsenal.
doj has like a 97% conviction rate. they aren't gonna let this loose cannon screw that up
Haaaa! I get it!
Probably just the codeine talking: but that genuinely made me laugh.
FB friend:
It's not that crazy when all the media they consume is telling them that Trump did nothing wrong and the DOJ is being weaponized against Biden's enemies. Why would they change what they believe when Fox News and other outlets are reinforcing the right-wing fantasy?
