5. What baffles me, is that every single one of these clowns must truly believe

that they are smart enough to beat the law and pull this off with no legal threat to themselves or risk to their political careers. They must believe that they will never have to face justice, and maybe Trump has told them not to worry, he will pardon everyone if that happens. But then there's the other matter of what damage they are doing to the country, to the Constitution, to the norms of governance and ethical standards. The only conclusion I can make, is that none of those things matter against their own greed and thirst for power.
