He has no such authority.
They aren't gonna get those plea deals unless they agree to testifyI would imagine numerous defendants will be accepting plea deals shortly. The attorney's fees have to be killing some, and the fear of going to a medium-level state prison in Georgia has to be scaring the hell out of most.
Piece of Shit
Once some of this initial stuff is out of the way there is every reason for these low level folks to look to make a deal and testify against the others.
First in get the best deals. Willis will only cut so many deals, but she may also want to tidy things up. The fewer the defendants going to trial the better the case becomes.They aren't gonna get those plea deals unless they agree to testify
And time is running short....
The first thing I thought of when I heard Hall had agreed to a plea deal and testify was, "Did this bail bondsman take notes, or tape any calls and keep them as an insurance policy"?

He has been straddling a fence for 2 years now. Giving up bits, holding bits back. The danger of spending a few years in a state prison in Georgia will be tough for him to gamble on. Doughy old white guys don't do so well in state prisons.The most valuable plea defendant will be Mark Meadows. Negotiations will open when his removal appeal is denied. For Meadows the way out of this mess (and for him especially - the Fulton County jail) is either a plea deal or carbon monoxide.
With the possible exception of Jeffrey Clark, Meadows is perhaps the least prepared person on Earth to mingle with inmates of Fulton County. And he knows it. We all know it. Fanni Willis knows it. He takes a deal or checks out.He has been straddling a fence for 2 years now. Giving up bits, holding bits back.

He's invested so much in staying in Trump world, and continuing to grift. I think he's still at a think tank funded by Trump, so clearly Trump knows the danger Meadows poses to him. No wild tweets about Meadows, either.
….and the con man he risked everything for won’t give him money to defend his liberty and whatever is left of his reputation (although he did send DTjr to a “beg the big donors” fundraiser for Rudy for which Trump himself took a slice of the action). Probably trying to drink himself 6 feet under before the jailers come to take him away.Rudy has lost both of his lawyers in Georgia.
He’s broke, doesn’t have a legal team for this case, he’s losing his libel case, his former aide has a massive harassment case against him, and Jack Smith is poking around his drinking habits.
America’s Mayor, folks.
