Consider the impossible...you have worked for Trump

Now consider that you have confessed to crimes committed while doing that. Then Trump calls you" a low level volunteer and liar". Would you not tell everything you ever saw or heard? Would you not make sure that jerk for whom you worked and who is now pretending you were not important gets his own punishment for bad deeds???

My lawyer would tell me to keep my mouth shut until the entire case is adjudicated, and unlike Trump, I'd take the advice.

Don't poke wild dog. Sometimes it's better just to walk away. I believe that what goes around comes around and in my experience, the people I want to jam up at risk to myself usually end up getting it in the end by other means. As I watch from a distance unscathed. Karma's gonna get you...

The safest course of action is to finish him off, legally speaking.

And the safest action for Papa George (and any other state's witnesses) is to tell EVERYTHING. Any other choice leads directly to jail.

Not to mention, he was at the table in the picture. That picture says more than all Trump's words. Would he let one of the peons sit at the table? Not to mention, Trump NAMED him when the Washington Post asked who his foreign policy people were.

If asked anything, he just say that he was at the heart of the foreign policy of the Trump team - such as it was - and Trump said so. Then stay quiet.

That's how he got to plea for charges of perjury rather than treason.

Now consider that someone has confessed to crimes committed while you were there. You'd call him "a low level volunteer and liar". You'd know he's told everything he ever saw or heard to get a plea deal.

Missing, Trump's behind the scenes reaction:

He's made it clear he'll hang them out to dry if they're picked up in this investigation. That should be an encouragement to blab, blab, blab. Only a fool would go to prison covering for Don and his merry band of Russian criminals.

Because they wouldn't have interacted with those at the top.

He has already squealed on the top level. They must've already treated him poorly.

So Papa George definitely interacted at a high level. He was no "low-level volunteer" any more than Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort was (and Turd used the exact same language to describe him).

that he will abandon them the moment they need some cover. Hopefully will encourage others to flip as they will get no loyalty from him.

sign loyalty pledges. It is a one way street. He is loyal to nobody. EVERYONE will be happy to hear that the expert, Ivanka, has cancelled her trip to China with Daddy. She is putting her tax expertise to work on the tax reform bill. No doubt she has had extra Botox injections, and hair bleaching in preparation for this.

or campaign aide, you know stuff, you’re watching Mueller make his way down the list to you, and you’re also watching your boss (or former boss) trashing the guy who Mueller has already nabbed.

You’ll tell EVERYTHING.

It said something like no comment now but he looked forward to talking at the appropriate time during court proceedings. And remember, in his indictment it was stated the indictment did not include everything.
