Axios: “None of the six has been indicted by special counsel Jack Smith, but they are all on notice that they face potential criminal liability.”
“By not identifying or charging them, Smith left open the possibility that they could decide to testify against Trump in exchange for lenient treatment for any legal jeopardy they could face. Trump has long expressed his disdain for ‘flippers’; now he has reason to fear them.”
Daily Beast: “Lastly, the absence of charges—made visible by the large amount of white space left in the space under Trump’s name as a defendant—also reminds the co-conspirators that they could be charged and likely takes them off the table as potential defense witnesses due to their probable concern that testifying would waive their 5th Amendment rights.”
