i've already explained this. of course everyone already has to testify truthfully. you're completely missing the point.
the value of the plea deal is not that the prosecutor can make you say certain things -- it's that the prosecutor can subpoena you to testify, which they cannot do if you are a defendant. if these folks don't plead out, then the prosecutor can't make them testify at all. it's not about making people say certain things.

Japan implemented its nationwide vaccination program against COVID-19 in 2021, immunizing more than one million people (approximately 1%) a day. However, the direct and indirect impacts of the program at the population level have yet to be fully evaluated. To assess the vaccine effectiveness during the Delta variant (B.1.617.2) epidemic in 2021, we used a renewal process model. A transmission model was fitted to the confirmed cases from 17 February to 30 November 2021. In the absence of vaccination, the cumulative numbers of infections and deaths during the study period were estimated to be 63.3 million (95% confidence interval [CI] 63.2–63.6) and 364,000 (95% CI 363–366), respectively; the actual numbers of infections and deaths were 4.7 million and 10,000, respectively. Were the vaccination implemented 14 days earlier, there could have been 54% and 48% fewer cases and deaths, respectively, than the actual numbers. We demonstrated the very high effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in Japan during 2021, which reduced mortality by more than 97% compared with the counterfactual scenario. The timing of expanding vaccination and vaccine recipients could be key to mitigating the disease burden of COVID-19. Rapid and proper decision making based on firm epidemiological input is vital.

hehe these prosecutors don't even know you have to tell the truth in court already!!!
lmao of course anyone testifying in court has to tell the truth. but you can't simply compel the testimony of a criminal or civil defendant. the prosecutor can't just be like "i call the defendant to the stand and they have to answer all my questions truthfully now. gotcha!" lol do you seriously not get how this works?

let's not forget the time he spent a whole month insisting that obama and hillary had been executed because he saw one tweet about it lol

truth is a complete defense to defamation. i keep being told that there are veritable mountains of proof that the election was rigged. giuliani certainly has access to that so-called mountain. and sharing that evidence would take him off the hook for having to pay potentially millions of dollars in damages.
so once again, a member of trump's inner circle has a direct interest in proving to a court that their claims of election fraud are true -- are given the chance to do so -- and then do not even really try.

suppose a grand jury subpoenas my personal diaries. now suppose i tell my lawyer to go through my home on june 2nd and collect all my diary entries and turn them over to the grand jury. but on june 1st, i direct someone to remove some of my diaries out of my home and put them into a storage locker, even though i know for a fact that they have been subpoenaed. to top it all off, i have one of my other attorneys certify to the grand jury that all my diaries have been turned over, even though she wasn't present in my home on june 2nd, and even though, again, i know for a fact that the certification is not true.
i have just committed a felony.
notice that at no point did i ever have to use the words confidental, or president, or presidental records act, or anything else like that. nor would it matter if the security locker is the deepest vault in fort knox. none of that shit matters.
now, the fact that "diaries" in this particular case is actually "extremely confidential and sensitive government work-product that i had absolutely no legal right to possess in the first place" makes the magnitude of my criminal act very very bad and adds a bunch of additional criminal penalties. but it's really not relevant to the underlying felony: intentionally lying to a grand jury.
read the fucking indictment. goddamn.

dude why not just read the indictment instead of responding to your own made-up version of what you think it says.
here's the link again in case you missed it: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000188-a12f-db74-ab98-b3ff4de50000
or listen to what trump's own attorney general is saying:

i wonder why fox news didn't answer this lawsuit by simply proving that the election was rigged and their evidence was accurate. i was made to believe that there were veritable mountains of obvious, direct proof that the election was rigged and that anyone who said otherwise is a desperate shill.
wouldn't it have been a good idea for fox to use some of that evidence here? it seems like it would've saved them a lot of money.
