Thus, any possible confusion created by Johnson’s testimony is immaterial. Moreover, the jury heard a stipulation about the existence of the agreement and the possibility that the government might make a substantial assistance motion to reduce Johnson’s sentence. The defense extensively cross-examined Johnson about his written plea agreement, during which Johnson admitted that he had a “plea bargain” with the government. Further, Fekrat’s contention that Johnson lied about the written cooperation plea agreement is unpersuasive. If such a deal existed, Fekrat’s counsel is likely the last person that Johnson’s attorney would have told about the secret agreement. Fekrat’s interpretation of the email is also illogical. Fekrat’s interpretation of an email authored by a lawyer working for Fekrat’s prior counsel regarding a plea deal for a six-month sentence is flatly contradicted by sworn declarations from the attorneys–that is, the prosecutor and Johnson’s attorney–who allegedly entered into the secret deal. However, Fekrat has failed to show that any secret deal existed. Fekrat’s argument relies mainly on a purported secret deal between the government and Johnson for a six-month sentence.
