(79,090 posts)As we've seen from the J6 Committee hearings, a number of people from Trump's administration have been willing to tell about his misdeeds in detail. The FBI investigation on the classified documents included at least one source who told them that he had some of those documents in his bedroom. Hopefully, only a limited number of individuals were close enough to Trump's bedroom to know this.
It appears that Trump was unaware that any of the people around him were talking with the FBI. Hence, in the days after the warrant was executed, the reports that he was asking, "Who is wearing the wire?" On one hand, he knew that unsealing the affidavit would cause real problems for him. But on the other hand, he hoped for enough to be included to allow him to figure it out.
There aren't a lot of people willing to go to jail for him within his inner circle these days. He can't pardon them, as he did Manafort, Bannon, and Stone.
