Any chance that the DoJ could work out a plea deal with Benton? Drop or reduce the charges involving Santiago in excahge for evidence against Bull’s militia? I’m sure the Feds would much rather shut down the militia than nail a relatively small fish like Benton, and he doesn’t stike me as the type of “True Believer” who will be fanatically loyal to his group’s cause.
No, that wouldn’t fit the old “He Got Off On A Technicality” theme, which is only admirable when your name is Warbucks and can hire a body double to stonewall the grand jury.
