Aren't Pence, Giuliani, and Barr all lawyers? Is there no legal or ethical mandate for lawyers to report to someone (maybe the FBI?) when they know illegal acts are being planned? Shouldn't they all be disbarred?

Barr's letter did not tell the public what we needed to know. Instead it was a fawning paean to Donald Trump. Pence did the right thing in the end, but again, did not speak out--and still hasn't spoken out --about the seditious conspiracy he knew was occurring. As for Giuliani--I don't believe that he drew a line. Why would he only do so after calling DHS? This smells to me like Rudy himself was the source of this "information," in some kind of belated attempt to polish his reputation, despite it now sitting at the bottom of the septic tank.
Spot on. How about all the people willing to "tell all" in a book to earn money instead of defend their country? If you wanted to poke a sharp stick at the downsides of pure Capitalism...well...there you go.
Exactly. I can forgive them not going public, and telling the FBI may not have done anything since FBI is part of executive branch, but the fact that NONE of them warned Mitch McConnell at the very least what was going on makes them responsible for Jan 6.
Never mind telling McConnell. How about screaming it from the rooftops to the Times, the Post, all media, instead of writing a book months later. I still hold people like Tillerson, McMasters and all the others who were once accomplished supposedly ethical men and women responsible for a lot of the lies, etc. for not telling the world what Trump was really like. What the hell is their problem????

I'm curious to know what you think Mitch would have done? Have we seen any evidence he would have taken an ethical stance?
Maybe not.
