the mystery to me - what are keeping so many likely very honorable people from adding to the truth tsunami and come forward?

My prediction...more will indeed find the courage to come forward

here's hoping!

Trump is so evil he will attack you as you are testifying. His calls for the whistleblower's identity are threatening. No one wants to be the guy Trump shoots on 5th Avenue.

also see why some wouldn't want to.

It isn't easy to be attacked publicly by very powerful people.

But, now that there have been people who have been largely supported by the public, it may become easier for others.

Remember McCabe getting smeared, and then fired just a day or so before he qualified for pension? A stellar A+ career in shambles. Plus the expense of defending himself? How much money do you think that man is out as a consequence? A lot of people are thinking "can I afford to be a hero?" Those kinds of things factor in with people that are trying to pay mortgages and send kids to school.
