      Unless Trump actually contacted them and told them what to do, I don’t see that much flipping to be done here.

        Well it would be surprising if he personally contracted any of them, but it pretty obvious it was managed centrally to a pretty significant degree, and that is likely to roll uphill close enough to be uncomfortable for him.

        Unfortunately you usually have to do something in order to do something illegal, and he’s gotten out of things over the years mainly through plausible deniability. Plenty of people did overly illegal things here, just a matter of how close to it he got in this case

        Seems deranged to do this without some kind of promise of a pardon or similar.

        …At the same time, it’s not hard to believe that there are 16+ deranged republicans risking their freedom by conspiring in a basement to own the libs.
