Like, who are these aides? Where were they the last 20 years?
These are probably new people who, like the old aides, can't say anything honestly to anyone surrounding the campaign for fear of being fired, or outed (they've done this to their own people expect fanatic followers to do them harm). So these new folks realized this pretty quickly, and now just leak to the press like the entire old group of aides and confidants did. It's pretty fucking pathetic.
And then sell a book detailing all the crimes they could have done something about a year later when they quit the administration.
Still: Where were they the last 20 years? They existed in the same world as Trump. They knew what they were signing up for. This isn't shocking to anyone. They don't get to pretend that helping a fascist seize power is a job they stumbled into out of the classifieds.
It's not relevant what Trump did last 20 years. It's only relevant what Trump did during close campaigns in the last 20 years, which is maybe one year in total, or two years, depending how you measure.
Which is to say, just because most people would predict it, doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it and report on it now when it's actually happening. Because Trump could have woken up. There was always a chance that at some level he realized that he doesn't want to face what's coming to him if he loses.
