This is the way the police work lol I can’t believe some people are surprised by this.
The prosecutor and state/feds have to build a case they believe can stick against you. This takes time and evidence. So Daniel is singing but the feds already have the evidence. They probably told him what evidence they had in the interrogation room so he decided to snitch anyway cuz everything was gonna come down regardless.
Side note kinda related but I work in a convenience store now to finish up college. We ID people and shyt, so it’s comical when people get paranoid cuz they might have a warrant out and don’t wanna swipe their ID cuz they think it might give out their whereabouts. I got swooped up on a warrant less than HALF a mile from where I live lol. So saying that to say, when it’s time to come and get you, the boys are ready and they know where you are
they was ready to get Daniel. He is an easy target with no priors so they knew they could get him by throwing that crazy mandatory federal time at him.
