Let's do a thought exercise. We're now in September/October. The contents of the orange bloat's safe prove very valuable evidence of serious crimes, perhaps espionage conducted by the orange bloat. He's going down. It's clear he was so desperate for cash that he sold classified information to hostile foreign entities. The FBI has the goods on treason, espionage, massive crimes against America, even worse than the insurrection to steal power.
The corrupt GQP can't defend THAT, can they? Selling America's classified material to hostile foreign governments for cash? How can anyone in their right mind think that's OK?
But imagine also if the contents of the safe included blackmail material on the corrupt GQP. The DOJ is about to blow open massive criminality on an unprecedented scale, conducted by the Senate minority leader, the House minority leader, several congressmen and several senators. They were OK as long as that material was kept securely in that safe. But now it's about to be known to all of America and the world.
Would they sell him out to make deals to save their asses? Or would they go down with him?
