Why are so many willing to throw their lives away for a complete fraud?

[pamelamac]

Mr. Nauta, you can’t possibly believe anything your boss is saying. Hundreds before you can attest to the fact that he only cares about himself and can’t be trusted as far as you can throw him. Whatever he’s pressuring you with isn’t worth your life and reputation. Save yourself and plead before it’s too late.

The American people want this animal out of our lives.

[mexhapati]

what 45 did to this country....and the gullibles that supported him every step of the way...
UNFORGIVABLE

[shelbychesnut]

Trump will not hesitate in throwing his co-defendant under the bus.

[edwardchinnici]

I definitely don't believe Trump should be allowed to go near his aide. I don't trust Trump to not tell his aide what to do and what to say to protect him

[leroysanders]

8-10yr prison sentence at minimum... anything less will be a crime against the American Democracy!

[undertow]

If trumps codefendant is convicted and given 10 years then it makes it hard not to convict and give trump a worse sentence.

[ellennordstrom]

I'm still waiting for Ari, Nicole, Chris, Joy, Lawrence, Stephanie, Rachel, and/or Morning Joe to point out how even Trump declared that he was " "no longer president" in the tape played above which differs from his followers' beliefs and his very own recognition that Joe Biden is, in fact, and always has been POTUS since January of 2021.

[ianbattles]

I would have been arrested IMMEDIATELY if I was caught with even a single page of these documents. *So why is Trump being held to a LOWER standard than the average citizen???*

[barrymantelli]

The resort was used in the commission of a crime and should therefore be subject to civil asset forfeiture

[erichoppe]

If he is found guilty of espionage or any criminal behavior he should also be forced back into the military and face a courts Martial (just like Mike Flynn)!!!

[asheronwindspear]

If I were his lawyer I'd be telling him to distance himself from Trump and flip like an Olympic gymnast.

[paulgrieger]

Nauta's attorney is, "a former public defender with limited experience." He's gonna get 10 years.
Citizens - be careful with whom you ally yourself.

[frankiejean]

Trump has been treated with respect he doesn’t deserve even if the office he held does.

[tracyforbes]

Walt, wake up and smell the coffee. You moved the boxes dude and the 'I was just doing my job' defence will just not fly here. Former guy will push you under the bus, and then walk over your corpse to try and avoid jail time. Fact.

[purplemajesty]

I believe Walt will eventually regret the day he met Trump.🤬

[flyingace]

Maybe it took a long time to find a lawyer because Trump offered to pay the legal fees because he wanted a lawyer he could control and not one that would act only in the best interest of Nauta.

[MrBmic]

Trump has him believing that when he becomes president again, Trump will pardon him. What a fool😅.

[tokejones]

Trump "I barely even knew him. He ran down Cokes on my demand"
I'm not a liar, Im a legitimate person. A legitimate stable genius.
He is so digusting.
