They wouldn't be panicking this bad if they didn't know he was guilty

Also I think people are panicking because he ain't remotely the only one who's guilty, & if his brazenness opens the floodgates to federal prosecution of prominent national political figures, that's a potentially tremendously costly own goal for the people who signed up with him

Breaking all the rules to protect him, he's like the thumb in the dike, once he's been indicted, and in a possible RICO case, they all go with him.

I am stocked up on popcorn and have nothing better to watch this next few weeks while I await planting weather.

They had to be forced to clean up the mess of the things they did not permanently damage. There was a lot of guilt and hate in there as they were forced to confront their crimes. Being a little older than they were, I was just as disgusted with their attitude after they cleaned up. Having supervised them I will never understand what motivated them.

This is bad for Trump in every way. His crimes are going to be exposed in court and moderate Republicans will not vote for a convicted criminal.

If I payed someone to murder my husband, I would be guilty of that murder, even if I didn't personally "pull the trigger".
