This makes sense! Why retain counsel if you are going to be tried, why not go out guns blazing… Or go into exile, hiding. So many options. But to go through a public trial?? Doesn't make sense. FLIPPING totally makes sense. The optics of that make sense. He saves his ass while at the same time… It isn't Trump going after the bad actors, it's Obama calling them out. That alone will destroy the Democratic party… And hopefully Republican party. It will drain the swamp of ALL bad actors.
