Chauvin has been sentenced to 22.5 years in prison. There is no need for the Feds to pile on, especially when no evidence has been produced of a racial motive. There is vastly more violence by blacks against whites than the reverse, but only white perpetrators are hounded like this.

He did not murder Saint Floyd, of course, but he had to be sacrificed to the hungry demons of the left.
Maybe the feds are offering a deal; Plead guilty or no contest and we'll let the fed sentence run cocurrently with the state sentence.

I wouldn’t call Chavin a “perpetrator.” He behaved as TRAINED by the MPD. He also didn’t kill Floyd. The drugs that Floyd OD’ed on killed Floyd.

Why would Chauvin change his ‘not guilty’ plea to ‘guilty’?
What advantage might this give him?
Would such a changed plea make it easier to plea bargin?
I wonder if this is something he wants or something one of his lawyers wants.
To: karpov
Don’t speak truth.
The populace can’t handle it.

Maybe he wants to change his plea to no contest.
To: karpov
Yes, but some ADA can get an easy conviction which will help out his year end bonus.

This was a lynching. Chauvin's trial should have been far, far removed to somewhere in the authentic America. There was ZERO chance that Chauvin received a fair trial in an atheist, communist enclave. The outcome was predetermined.

Oh...Then why doesn’t he just say that now, vs changing to ‘guilty’?
Maybe one has to change to ‘guilty’ before going to the next step. All part of the procedure.
First A., then B. to get closer to C.
To: karpov
Chauvin was never getting a fair trial. I’m not saying he was innocent, but no mitigating circumstances would be allowed, nor the possibility of a lower charge that may have been appropriate.
He wouldn’t get a fair trial in the federal court, either. The jury wood he tainted and the findings wouldn’t follow the evidence. The findings of the jury would follow the narrative.

From the article: “The notice did not say how he intends to change his plea.”
So he could change to guilty or no contest. He might be trying to get a plea deal.
To: karpov
What is up with his appeal?
