This. I know I'm preaching to the choir for posting this as a response to your comment, but it's for others to read, as I want to piggy back on it.
It is the other (more likely) narrative that people have yet to understand. It will "force" him onto the stand, by which the U1 deal and hopefully the human-trafficking side of it, etc, may be revealed.
It's just as likely that his threat to plead not guilty was a holdout - while negotiating how to proceed - in regard to the Mueller investigation. It seems to serve as a sign that they secured the the deal, which is to say, they made sure that they had all of the required things in place, to do what they had planned all along: get him on the stand, not to defend his actions, but to make him the scapegoat (in the good, useful, tactical sense of the word) that connects the investigation to the real purpose: exposing the Clinton Foundation.
My speculation derives from the notion that this is consistent with the expectation that everything is continuing to go as planned, as it has been. Add to that the continued mainline ignorance of the preponderance of facts regarding the "other" real and actual investigation into the U1 deal, and how that hasn't been factored into public opinion as of yet, and won't just go away as a non-player, especially if the current WH is truly "up against the ropes". It seems that the best way to attack is to force the hand to have been put there, in this case.
All of the arm-chair prosecution being waged by everyone on social media and news outlets that are enthusiastically opining yet again that this is the death noll for Trump, are yet again doing it with full ignorance, disbelief, or non-disclosure that there is a real case that connects all of the investigation to a bigger scandal - and not one of Trump's involvement, but one that involves a cabal that is, matter-of-factly in the process of being dismantled in front of the public's eyes, as evidenced by the high profile figures involved becoming embroiled in scandal, in the mainstream, and yet not acknowledged as relevant by the ignorant or complicit masses.

This will be huge !! ( Just as soon as they make a law against talking to Russians while a candidate for President.)
Buckle up, because the only thing this is going to do is force the President and the NSA to release the child rape files.
