    Chesebro plead guilty to one of his 7 felony RICO charges.

    'What charge did Chesebro plead guilty to?'

    'Chesebro pleaded guilty to one felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing false documents.'

    Chesebro was originally charged on seven counts:

    • Violation of Georgia’s RICO Act
    • Conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer
    • 2 counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree
    • 2 counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings
    • Conspiracy to commit filing false documents

    Well, the only "RICO" count was Item 1, to which nobody has pleaded guilty to yet. Everybody has taken a regular Georgia law violation. Doesn't really matter which either...

    Doesn't remotely mean the RICO charges have gone away for those that haven't taken a deal or that the 4 who have taken deals won't still testify about the RICO count.

    That means that the case is “collapsing”!

    That is not a RICO charge.

    If you’re making a plea deal in return for testimony, don’t you have to offer a defendant a reasonable reduction of charges? That’s how it works even if you don’t grasp it.
