Is it a crime for W House staff to cover up tRump's crimes

or is it an aspect of their job? So many must have known about a ton of crimes and chose to lie and cover them up. That must be a crime or is just wishful thinking on my part. Bannon, Hope Hicks, Priebus, Kellyanne, Sarah and a ton of others must know the truth, can they be charged for anything?

From 1980 - 1986 I had the worst job of my life. I never woke up one single day and looked forward to going to work. But I had a wife and three toddlers to support, so I did what I had do. When I was hired I was 29th in seniority of the management pool. When I left 6 years later I was 5th. Not counting the 20-30 that were hired after me and either quit or got fired. But as bad as that was, I can never imagine a job where I was required to regularly lie to the American people about issues that directly affected their well being, trust in our institutions and physical security of our country. To me that would be like renting a room in hell and hoping I could someday break my lease.

They must know they will get caught. Do they think their lawyers will get them off the hook?

ideology. I suspect SHS is the latter example. She has been indoctrinated since birth. Prosecutors might be able to use her in some way, but she will not be a big fish. I suspect she pretty much is scripted. She may fall off the cliff for a while but will reappear on conservative websites later. See Mike Huckabee.
