Trying to get out in front of what they know is about to burst open? Could be (maybe probably) true but sounds like groveling for public sympathy before the "reveal".
No sobs from anons, make your choice pay the price. If they were forced, that'll come out. Trump may seem to be betraying you all, but he's the fucking POTUS now. He was voted in to clear out that crap. Afraid? There are a few countries that don't extradite to the US. Other than that, your choice is to red scarf or cooperate with LEO when they arrive - and they will.
