And the underlings will use the Barry-instructed-us defense.
That has never been a legal defense against breaking the law.
That worked brilliantly for the Watergate defendants. This is MUCH more serious than Watergate. A lot will depend on venue. The chances of anyone getting a fair trial in Washington DC in a politically charged case asymptotically approach zero the closer to Obama or Trump you get. J6 defendants had about as much a chance of acquittal as Claus Stauffenberg. Russiagate defendants will have about as much chance of conviction in DC as OJ in Watts.
Just following orders.
