We still won't know the name of the first flipper. But we do know that he/she who flips first, gets the best deal.

I imagine there will be a rush now for everyone to save themselves, even if it means fingering Trump as the instigator and perpetrator of the fake electors scheme

So . . who among this motley crew is the most desperate for a get-out-of-jail-free card for blabbing on Trump?

I'm looking at Eastman. But then, I'll admit that I'm prejudiced because I want to see Ginni and Clarence Thomas dragged into this fray as part of the DOJ's special Counsel investigation of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Trump has a whole new scheme to steal the 2024. No more fake electors. This time he's going straight to the election officials in swing states Biden won to coerce/threaten or otherwise (we KNOW where you live) convince them to outright refuse to certify a win for Kamala Harris. That means that state that Harris won will forfeit its electoral college vote.

Trump is so sure his new plan is foolproof that he's admitting publicly that he doesn't need anybody's vote. This time he thinks he's got it in the bag.

"But I have to ask, is the seeming Lying-Wall-of-Trump cult adulation starting to crumble?"

Well, we do know that there's been a crack in the dam and cracks don't have a history of getting smaller.

And I'm assuming that some, if not most, of these people don't have the funds to withstand months of trials where they have to testify against each other. And they'd be fools not to notice Trump's sudden change of election fate.

So yeah, I'd say that "crumble" is the right word.

I'm still hoping it's Eastman because he's the one who claimed to have a member of the U.S. Supreme Court on speed dial. Which we now know was Clarence Thomas vis-a-vis his wife Ginni.

But it could be anybody, maybe somebody who is just worried about his family and so forth and so on.

"While 'election fate" is imo too soon to tell."

Agreed. But fear is a great motivator. And who wants to wait until the last minute to find out.

"Speaking personally, I do."

Not me. I wouldn't have any faith in Trump even if he does win the election. He's the one who trapped these people in this predicament in the first place. He'd call them suckers.

Given a choice, I'd pick a soft landing any day of the week.
