Trump Fears His Unindicted Co-conspirators Will Turn On Him to Save Themselves: Report
vanityfair.com

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.

Uh, I can't wait for the next season of "I barely know them, never really talked to them" !

I hope it has a better end than the last one though.

It'll be an interesting tactic when he tries it on members of his family

I, for one, am excited for the new seasons of "I cannot recall" and "I plead the fifth"
