Does anyone believe Meadows, Flynn, Powell, and Waldron will all take the fall for Trump?

Because if all the reporting on the WH meetings re: seizing voting machines is true (and it appears there are multiple documents and testimony corroborating the reports), they are all going to prison.

Meadows, Flynn, Powell and Waldron (who authored the draft EO) can stonewall the committee, yet it appears there is enough documentary evidence and testimony from other witnesses to put them all away.

Some have been screaming for over a year that Trump and the coup architects should have been locked up immediately, but it’s just been a little over a week since SCOTUS forced the release of Trump’s records. In addition, high ranking Pence staffers have just testified today and in recent days.

Trump’s unhinged rally meltdown over the weekend should serve as proof that things are on the right track.

But when the DOJ goes after them, they will have little choice. I suspect they will be rounded up in a short window of time a little later this year.

Those egotist assholes won't take the fall so it will be wonderful to see them all go to prison.

Didn't Flynn already serve time in jail? Stone and Manafort too. It looks like Allen Weisselberg will keep his mouth shut and spend time in jail too or pay a hefty fine.

I don't know what it is about Trump that commands undying loyalty. Maybe if he were a decent human being I could see something, but he's not. He's a whiny, petulant, little cry baby who abuses everyone around him. I can't see how anyone could be within 100 yards of him, much less work for him, much less take a bullet for him (as some have stated).

Donald tends to surround himself with selfish assholes, cowards, because they are the kind of people who admire a dictator-wannabe

The level of compliance/resistance l is directly correlated to the kompromat.

In the case of Lindsey Graham it’s obviously devastating. These others? We’ll see
