These are the main players. If all of these people flip, Trump is done like fried chicken. These people know where all the bodies are buried, and they know, first-hand, all about Trump's involvement.

Because none of them did anything illegal.
What makes you think they will roll over on Trump? They are not in any legal trouble.

Trump Indictment Leaves Alleged Co-Conspirators Facing Tough Choices
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/us/politics/trump-indictment-co-conspirators.html
The special counsel’s decision not to charge six people said to have played critical roles in the effort to keep Donald Trump in office seemed to give them a chance to cooperate with prosecutors. Some appear to be unwilling.
By the time Jack Smith, the special counsel, was brought in to oversee the investigation of former President Donald J. Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, the inquiry had already focused for months on a group of lawyers close to Mr. Trump.
Many showed up as subjects of interest in a seemingly unending flurry of subpoenas issued by a grand jury sitting in the case. Some were household names, others less familiar. Among them were Rudolph W. Giuliani, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell.
On Tuesday, most of these same lawyers showed up again — albeit unnamed — as Mr. Trump’s co-conspirators in a federal indictment accusing him of a wide-ranging plot to remain in office despite having lost the election.
The appearance of the lawyers at the center of the case suggests how important prosecutors judged them to be to the conspiracy to execute what one federal judge who considered some of the evidence called “a coup in search of a legal theory.”
The lawyers’ placement at the heart of the plot while remaining uncharged — for now — raised questions about why Mr. Smith chose to bring the indictment with Mr. Trump as the sole defendant.
In complex conspiracy cases, prosecutors often choose to work from the bottom up, charging subordinates with crimes to put pressure on them to cooperate against their superiors. It remains unclear precisely what Mr. Smith may be seeking to accomplish by flipping that script.
Some legal experts theorized on Wednesday that by indicting Mr. Trump alone, Mr. Smith might be seeking to streamline and expedite the case ahead of the 2024 election. If the co-conspirators were indicted, that would almost certainly slow down the process, potentially with the other defendants filing motions and seeking to splinter their cases from Mr. Trump’s.
“I think it’s a clean indictment to just have Donald Trump as the sole defendant,” said Soumya Dayananda, a former federal prosecutor who served as a senior investigator for the House Jan. 6 committee. “I think it makes it easier to just tell the story of what his corrupt activity was.”
Another explanation could be that by indicting Mr. Trump — and leaving open the threat of other charges — Mr. Smith was delivering a message: cooperate against Mr. Trump, or end up indicted like him. By not charging them for now, Mr. Smith could be giving the co-conspirators an incentive to reach a deal with investigators and provide information about the former president.
While the threat of prosecution could loom indefinitely, it is possible that the judge overseeing the case might soon ask Mr. Smith’s team to disclose whether it plans to issue a new indictment with additional defendants. And some legal experts expect additional charges to come.
@suzianne saidI really want to argue law with Suzianne. But, she was obviously ‘in all the rooms”, so has the advantage. In the know, don’t you know. She and Marauder, with his LEXIS-NEXIS in his backpack, will be hard to beat.
Go look up "co-conspirator".
I'll wait. No, I won't.

Could you comment on why Biden had docs at FOUR of his homes, but was not raided.............But Trump had docs at his ONE home and was raided?
It is info like this that makes for more solid debates, facts that be stipulated to, so that we do not argue them, as they are facts.

@averagejoe1 saidBecause Biden promptly gave them up to the National Archives BEFORE he was asked.

Trump had far more, and he refused to give them up.

Don't know the etymology or origin of the name.

@suzianne saidMake a note, everyone, that the reason Trump was raided is because he did not give them up?

I thought the first Trump heard of the desire to get the documents was when they swarmed his place for a midnight raid. Prior to that, no request to 'give them up' was made.
Can you tell us what you mean, we do not understand.
You won't. WHY do libs, when caught in lies, not answer questions? Or , helpl us out with a literal answer. You can do this. You are aware that you have not answered???

They have no evidence. co-conspirator or not there are no charges.
The obvious explanation is they only want Trump because the others are not presidential candidates. And the charges are all weak. It is all based on political speech which is protected by the constitution.
You are also conflating speech with actions. You think what he says are actions. No, that is speech.
@Metal-Brain
Oh, so they are innocent of crimes because YOU said so? It is clear you are just spouting what your Russian bosses WANT you to say.
They were not charged because they are given a carrot, you CAN be charged but all will be forgiven if you flip on the REAL head snake and you KNOW who that is.
THAT is why they were not charged but you don't even read a tiny bit of it so all you can do is puke out words given to you by your Russian bosses.
