Those who are now betraying Trump were of two groups;
Those who encouraged his behavior and entertained his delusions because they wanted a piece of the pie. They wanted to be Trump’s inner circle of trusted advisers if his schemes to remain in power worked. Some of them are now ignoring subpoenas and pleading the 5th when they can no longer delay testifying. Others are coming clean, choosing to testify to what they saw and heard in hopes of receiving leniency.
The career professionals in the West Wing who were there to do a job, build their careers, and serve the country. They were shocked and appalled by what they saw, and are not content to remain silent. They are willing and ready to tell their stories, and will not be intimidated into silence.
