Trump Fears His Unindicted Co-conspirators Will Turn On Him to Save Themselves: Report
The ex-president has reportedly asked his advisers who he thinks is most likely to crack under questioning from Jack Smith’s team.
When special counsel Jack Smith criminally charged Donald Trump this month for attempting to overturn the 2020 election, the indictment referenced six unnamed co-conspirators—five of whom are identifiable—who aided the ex-president’s plot to stay in power, i.e. break the law. Why Smith chose not to charge these individuals is unclear; while it’s possible that the prosecutor only targeted Trump to expedite the case, it’s also plausible that he did so as part of a strategy to get them to cooperate and become government witnesses against the former guy. And according to a new report, it seems like at least some of these people might be willing to talk to save themselves.

In this and in the Georgia case there are enough co-conspirators who don't want to stay behind bars til they drop. Only one needs to sing the right tune, and loud enough to get a "get out of prison" card. The problem that Trump is only surrounded by weak yes-men is that they are weak.
The Georgia indictment is amazing. Something like 19 people named, and like 30 unindicted coconspirators. There's no way there's not a good number of flips there.
For some reason, I would've had Georgia as the last place to ever bring something like this. I guess I just assumed it was solidly Republican that would never let something like this get this far.
Looks like DA Willis is a democrat, so that could be part of it. I heard the governor wasn't wanting him charged, but I'm glad a patriot was in the DA position to ensure that an attempt at justice could be brought against him.
Having watched Georgia for a few years, the impression I get is that it's pretty close to a 50-50 mix of red and blue with a constant struggle for control. Atlanta is of course consistently blue.
