    Agreed, its not that they can succeed — the original quote points out that “none of those reasons or feelings provide legal justification to violate the law”. What I was wondering is if this is a HINT that perhaps these folks could testify about why they might have felt it was a call to action from the president. Like, did he literally call them and ask them to commit this crime? Would they testify to that in return for, maybe, having this weak ass excuse be accepted and they don’t spend time behind bars?

    Anyway, thats what I was wondering. (And of course this is a simplification. Probably a few levels between them and Trump)
