...and they would be left holding the bag. Once they were informed of a potential crime they only had two choices: 1) keep their hands clean or 2) actively participate in the coverup. With the first choice they risk their job, with the second choice they risk their freedom. They knew the feds were looking at Trump. If some other insider decided to cooperate anyone who went along with the plot risked doing time for Trump.
