Who said it doesn't hurt Trump? It just doesn't hurt him near as much as you want it to. Mind you, ALL of them get ZERO jail time and their records expunged immediately upon completing probation. Considering what they were all facing, did you expect ANY of them not to take that sweetheart of a deal?
Meanwhile, their "testimony" will be scrutinized beyond belief. ALL of them were beyond vocal about their 100% innocence, along with saying everything they did was justified and legal. Now, they will be opening themselves to serious attacks on their credibility. Even the article itself questions the value of their testimony.
Simply put, this is EXACTLY what most expected to happen. The "boots on the ground" were all going to take deals, if the deals were beyond ridiculous and they ARE beyond ridiculous. If the perceived "conspiracy" was such an AFFRONT to the Constitution, the actual perpetrators essentially walking away from it without a single scratch, is absolutely damaging to the case itself.
If it wasn't VERY politically driven, they would, or at least should, be going full frontal attack on EVERYONE accused and throwing the book at everyone. If they were as confident in their case as Vodka is on here, the more they convict and the harsher the sentences, the stronger the case gets against Trump.
Again, some of you are acting like what happened was pure "insurrection" and "sedition". With that in mind, this is the equivalent of giving the "hitmen" immunity after killing a bunch of people, so that they can HOPE to get Al Capone, or in more recent times in my area, Black Jack Giacalone...
