The Mueller probe has already issued indictments and there have been five guilty pleas. You don't plead guilty unless you ARE guilty.

Unless you are sentenced to death & a guilty plea will save your life.
Confessions have proven to be false. So too guilty pleas. In the cases you are referring to the sentences & evidence are so extreme a guilty plea with a bargain is preferrable.

I hope Mueller is able to take it all the way to the truth. The depth of corruption is amazing, and long.

"You don't plead guilty unless you ARE guilty." I disagree. There are too many examples of admissions being not what they seem.

The wife of the night club shooter was truly coerced into lying about her husband. He did not hate gay people. He killed because he was a believer of islam. He chose the night club randomly. But the feds did not want his actions to be labeled islamic extremism.

Tommy Robinson is another who has been lied about. He is not a racist. He was complaining about what muslims were doing in his community.
He pleaded guilty to something his cousin did to prevent his other family members from continued harassment.
He has since been exonerated and proved correct.

Well, not a true statement, many inocent poor with no means take a plea bargain. Now a person with means doing it... that is different.

True! Denial of Facts, again...like some kind of sickness, spreading through the world, this constant pressure to believe "black is white" is eroding Everything!

I'm not saying anything about Mueller, but people confess to crimes they don't commit and plead guilty to things that they didn't do.

I know that happens. I'm not really worried in this case. It's so rotten here.

Well you know in the US and a lot of other countries it all comes down to how much money you have.

Not necessarily so.
I'm not saying Muellers targets are in the same category, but plenty of folks plead guilty to avoid the death sentences with which they are threatened. It really helps the DA's conviction rate but doesn't reliably target the genuinely guilty.

@Akfishlady Actually often no they haven't. Plea bargain systems operate to improve clear up rates. This has led to poor people being targeted as they will take a plea rather than try to fight for their innocence in a system stacked against those who can't afford a good lawyer. Remembering that if they fight and lose they die.
Approx 48% (IIRC) of death row inmates are innocent of the crime for which they are about to die. This was established when Dubbya was president.

This will be the subject of films, books, documentaries and GREAT REJOICING, once it's all made clear!
