Rudy G. is the key. He is in the middle of this, and he is stupid/weak enough to spill the beans. If the FBI isn't already squeezing him, they soon will be.

2 reasons:
1. He never listens
2. He never pays his bills

he cheated on when married to his first wife, went after each other when they fell out and divorced.

The problem is Rudy no longer has reliable friends, so if Trump comes after him, Rudy’s only choice may be going into the federal witness protection program, after spilling the beans on Trump.

If that is correct, easy to surmise he'd be carving out an arrangement with the Feds to spill the bean in exchange for him to continue on grifting.

Can you imagine. And now that Trump has finally thrown him under not paying him for his "services", well sort of leaves him with no other option but to sing like a canary. And Trump with all of his infinite evil genius brought it on all himself again and again.

The issue will be is Rudy so blindly loyal that he ends up willingly holding the bag of crap that Trump is setting up to leave him with. Not that I care that Trump is screwing him, I honestly can’t think of a better person, outside of Barr, Miller and his wife, the Nixon back-tattoo nut from Florida, and the Trump spawn (except for the teen).

Rudy has been a loyal supporter for Trump, but Trump isn't a loyal supporter of anyone.

After his “trial by combat” speech, fear of a conviction should be running high. That and getting stiffed for...whatever it was he did...might be enough to flip him on Trump.

Federal prosecutors need to think big.

Thanks for bringing this up.
Why should he be used as some song bird, with a getoutofjail card in exchange for ratting out his comrades? There are plenty of other sycophant cowards left to turn.

No, he also needs to be charged with sedition and encouraging an insurrection. They can't argue only Trump incited violence when Rudy, enthusiastically encouraged "trial by combat" during the same rally as the President spoke at before the break in.
