Nope. It's just a ploy to reduce prosecutorial costs and free up Moseby's time to better obscure and obstruct the Federal investigation. Also to lighten the case load in the courts (recall that they just recently reopened and have a year+ backlog to get through).
Oh no, I didn't think that was really the reason. I just sometimes forget that you can't apply a rational thought process to irrational people and I was trying to think of how to justify it from their end. As dumb as it was, it was the best I could come up with. I need to just stop trying to understand their motivations and accept that we live in clown world now.
