You nailed it. They're not getting away with anything, and their salaries and benefits are cheap insurance to keep them safe and under close observation. Trump is forcing Congress to dig up evidence that he already knows but which many lawmakers prefer to ignore. When the hammer falls, the breadth and depth of the seditious plot will be widely known and impossible to conceal. All this evidence is building daily and is not going to disappear. Nervous FReepers aside, who among the actual players appear terrified?
The way this is coming out drip by drip the libtards are having a harder time of dealing with it, perhaps. If this were all coming out in more official ways there would be an army of libtard mouthpieces on TV denying and obfuscating non stop. By dribbling it out in little chunks of these texts what the libtards cant really defend folks are finding out slowly. The Rats have learned how to manage the media but perhaps Trump and his people have learned how to not be managed. Interesting.
