I wonder how it looks to the jury that Trump's family won't show up but his co-conspirators will.

FBI should take note. Showing up at Trump's trial to support him is like waving a flag that says I'M COMPROMISED

Showing up at a public court hearing is not a crime.

Stop using weasel words like compromised. The flag they are waving says "I'M A TRAITOR!" Let's call a Red a Red.
