When special counsel Jack Smith criminally charged Donald Trump this month for attempting to overturn the 2020 election, the indictment referenced six unnamed co-conspiratorsā€”five of whom are identifiableā€”who aided the ex-presidentā€™s plot to stay in power, i.e. break the law. Why Smith chose not to charge these individuals is unclear; while itā€™s possible that the prosecutor only targeted Trump to expedite the case, itā€™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.

    Good. I hope the fear keeps him super stressed out and anxious. With a little luck the stress will give him an ulcer so he can live the rest of his life in pain and agony.

      Ugh, I know they donā€™t deserve the sweet embrace of death, but I honestly would appreciate it if him, his whole family, and anyone who ever remotely supported him even for a brief moment just dropped dead already.

      Face it Republicans, you couldnā€™t make America whiteā€¦ ahemā€¦ ā€œgreatā€ again. Perhaps youā€™ll have better luck in Hell? Fucking Nazis and their sympathizers can fucking die.

      Hoping the stress and the decades of eating McDonaldā€™s lead to a fatal heart attack before the election.
