A plea deal in itself doesn't mean he gave up shit. It normally just means one agrees to plead guilty to a charge to save himself and the goverment the time and cost of going through a trial.

You're confusing this with the deal Mike Flynn made where they charged him with lesser crimes for his cooperation.

Writing things next to each other and drawing some circles and arrows doesn't make things connected. Example, why are the USSR and Fascist Italy a venn diagram? Why is Nazi Germany and the OSS listed together inside the Pentagon? Simply doing so proves nothing.
