All I heard was “ I did it, I should not have, but…”. But move forward? Don’t hold him accountable? Blame the lawyers? Blame maga possible retribution? All this can be put forward as a lame defense in court buddy. You are a lawyer and know how this works. You can’t wish it away or say nothing to see here! Have your trial, let’s see the facts, not your wishlist. I do say DJT has taken hundreds of lives, put those lives in a shoe box and shook it!! Including many ex lawyers, campaign workers, people he owes and doesn’t pay, friends , family and students in his “university”, and the country by stacking the Supreme Court with right wing nuts. Welcome to the shoebox Andrew. Hold tight, because it can get worse. Might cost you right to practice law.

He very likely knew what they were doing was wrong at multiple stages, likely illegal, and lacked a spine to stand up against it.

I'm prepared to grant him grace on this. I was once a whistle-blower. It's not easy to do. I paid for my whistle-blow by losing my job. As a divorced parent, with no income from my ex and raising a child, it was not an easy decision. I made it anyway, which means I get to look in the mirror in the morning and feel good about myself. Had I chosen differently my path in life would have been easier, but my conscience would not be clean.
