They want to make it as enticing as possible for people to flip on the higher-ups. “Look, it’s not a big deal. You’re just going to have to pay a few bucks, and write an apology, and then you get to go free. All you have to do in exchange is help us take down the big guy.”
It might sound cynical, but I’m thrilled they’re making it so easy for Trump’s cronies to flip. I’d much rather have Trump warming a jail bench and all of his co-conspirators freed than Trump on the campaign trail and every single one of the lackeys behind bars. They’re disgraced enough already–on both sides of the aisle–that there’s no way they’ll ever be taken seriously in politics again anyway.
In short, it’s better for our country this way.
