Even if Trump can't be indicted and tried while in office they can.

(115,681 posts)Hiring legal counsel isn't proof of one's guilt, of course; anybody who's got law enforcement people looking at them would be wise to do so just to be sure everybody follows the rules. But Trump's minions are a dodgy bunch, and I'm guessing they're nervous. Of course, Trump could pardon them before he goes down.

(10,952 posts)are not the brightest bulbs in the tulip patch. Everybody else is at risk and if Mueller can tick them off one at a time that will leave Trump all by his lonesome. I hope they go after all Ivanka, Jerod, Jr and Eric as well as all the other enablers. Arrest all the kings men and all the kings horses and there will be no one around to put Humpty Dumpty back again when he implodes.

(43,049 posts)Christie had it out for them.
Now that he's a Republican married into the Presidential tribe, nothing can touch him.
Or so he thinks...

(1,089 posts)but a few of them are likely freaking the fuck out. Let's just look at what's been happening:
1. More and more denials of basically everything, and they're getting more ridiculous.
2. No one, and in some cases NO ONE, wants high-profile jobs with this ongoing train wreck.
3. Few officials are ever available for the press.
4. Spicey's move yesterday to not even allow cameras or audio recordings of statements by the press secretary.
5. EVERYONE, other than Mueller so far, who has had anything to do with investigating all of this has been fired.
The only thing we haven't seen yet, and I believe this will be the proverbial Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse for this disastrous regime, is when resignations begin to occur en masse. If Flynn is singing as has been suggested, that time draws relatively near. If The Marmalade Moron is actually dumb enough to fire Mueller, I think you'd see rats jumping ship the next day.
So yes, I think many members of this cabal are having a lot of trouble sleeping at night, as they should.
