^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This

And he does not want to be disbarred (he should be because he was acting as Trump's personal lawyer while being AG of We the People).  He also does not want to end up in prison being entangled in Trump's coup, which will not be successful even though Trump Supporters have become terrorist on his behalf by going against our democracy in battle ground states.

My senators and my representative are all republican.  They are likely sick of my calls for accountability.
