#Chesebro, a former #lawyer for Donald #Trump’s campaign, pleaded guilty Friday to #illegally #conspiring to overturn #Trump’s #2020election loss in #Georgia. The #plea came in just hours after #jury selection began in the highly anticipated case, ahead of an expected #trial next month.

Chesebro pleaded #guilty to a single #felony count of #conspiracy to file false documents, & faces a #prison sentence of 1 – 5 yrs. He also agreed to #truthfully #testify in the case against others.
#Chesebro’s #guilty #plea is the latest #legal victory for #FultonCounty, #Georgia DA #FaniWillis. In addition to flipping one of the key members of the alleged #conspiracy, prosecutors now avoid a #trial in which they would have had to showcase much of their #evidence against #Trump & others, which might have offered lawyers for others a legal advantage heading into other trials.

The potential for #incriminating #testimony from 3 of #Trump’s codefendants (#SidneyPowell, #ScottHall, #Chesebro) could have far-reaching impact on TFG’s #legal fortunes in the case, + some of the other high-profile defendants, notably #RudyGiuliani.
Chesebro had been facing 7 charges related to his alleged role as the legal architect of a plan to use #Trump #FakeElectors in #Georgia & other key states to undermine legitimate 2020 electoral college votes to steal the election for Trump.
#Chesebro, who had originally pleaded not guilty in the case, appeared before #FultonCounty Superior Court Judge Scott #McAfee, where he agreed to plead #guilty.
The case against Chesebro centered on his role in crafting a plan where slates of #Trump #FakeElectors met in key battleground states including #Georgia to sign documents falsely claiming Trump, not Biden, had won the vote in their states.

Through his attys, #Chesebro claimed he was merely offering #legal opinions… to #Trump… & unsuccessfully argued to block memos & other emails he sent to #Republicans across the country & others working on the campaign from being used at trial.
Once that effort failed it was discovered in one email that Chesebro clearly stated his strategy was #political, not legal.

If he abides by the terms of #probation, the charge will be expunged from his #record under the first-offender terms of the deal. In addition, the #plea describes the #crime to which #Chesebro pleaded #guilty — #conspiring to file false documents — as not being one of “moral turpitude.” That could enable him to resume practicing #law.
(I beg to differ. Step up #ABA)

#Chesebro did not plead #guilty to the charge that all 19 defendants in the case initially faced — participating in a #racketeering enterprise. He alluded to his unwillingness to admit #guilt to some of the allegations in an exchange w/ the judge.
“Are you pleading guilty today because you believe there is a factual basis for moving forward with this charge?” McAfee asked.
Chesebro pointedly replied: “Yes, this charge.”
