Alex Jones is having a horrible day
Now that Kenneth Chesebro has cut a plea deal in Fulton County and agreed to testify, he pretty much has to do the same thing with Jack Smith. Otherwise Chesebro would be incriminating himself in one trial while defending himself in another overlapping trial, which wouldn’t work. So Chesebro’s deal with Jack Smith is more or less inevitable, and is probably already underway. What does this have to do with Alex Jones? Everything.
Kenneth Chesebro spent January 6th following Alex Jones around the Capitol grounds. This wasn’t originally known, until video footage publicly surfaced recently. We still don’t know how this ended up happening, or what Chesebro and Jones were plotting together. But there’s little doubt that ever since that video emerged, Jack Smith and his team have been looking to get to the bottom of this.
If Chesebro wants a favorable cooperation deal from Jack Smith, he’ll have to give up everyone. And while his January 6th interactions on the Capitol Grounds with Alex Jones were seemingly outside the purview of Fulton County DA Fani Willis, it easily falls within the purview of Jack Smith. So Chesebro will have to give up Jones to Smith.
This is terrible news for Alex Jones, who up to this point has managed to avoid getting indicted. Now Jones has to worry that Jack Smith is going to indict him with Chesebro’s help. To that end, Jones now has to think about trying to cut a cooperation deal of his own, which would require him to give up people like Roger Stone and Donald Trump.
There’s a reason they refer to it as “dominoes falling” when people start cutting cooperation deals in criminal cases. When Scott Hall flipped in Fulton County, it led to Sidney Powell flipping, which led to Chesebro flipping. And now potential defendants on the federal level have to worry that this Fulton County domino effect is going to knock them down as well.
