I hadn’t seen this one in the thread yet, so… [https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/02/politics/oath-keeper-plea-deal-seditious-conspiracy/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/02/politics/oath-keeper-plea-deal-seditious-conspiracy/index.html) Just the opening paragraph is probably enough for the deliciousness. > An Oath Keeper who served as private security for right-wing figures around [January 6](https://www.cnn.com/specials/politics/capitol-riot-investigations) pleaded guilty to [seditious conspiracy](https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/13/politics/insurrection-sedition-coup-january-6/index.html) and is cooperating with the Justice Department, becoming the first person charged with seditious conspiracy related to the attack to strike a plea deal. The cooperation will probably weight heavily on those who have so far avoided seeking a plea deal. ---

As the last line of the article points out, Trump only cares about himself. So sabotaging a GOP senate pick up isn’t something he cares about. So, no damage to his nose. Sure, if he becomes president again and the GOP doesn’t control the Senate, he can’t get his priorities passed. But, since he really doesn’t have any priorities that the Senate can help with, why should he care? ---

I’m not sure Ducey is really disappointed by this outcome. I think he wants to make a run for President in '24 or '28 once (he thinks) the Republican fever dream of Donald Trump will have passed. Of course, I’d guess that half a dozen Republican consultants have already queued up B-roll of him ignoring Trump’s call while certifying Arizona’s 2020 election results for an attack ad on spec, so I don’t think he’s got a solid grasp of the electorate. ---
