One for the “least worrying worry ever” file: some Trump people who talked to Mueller are in a sweat that Trump might get mad at them. Waa waa; we’re in a sweat that Trump might kill us all.
Of particular concern is how Trump — and his allies — will react if it appears to be clear precisely what specific officials shared with Mueller, these people said.
“They got asked questions and told the truth and now they’re worried the wrath will follow,” one former White House official said.
Some of those who spoke with Mueller’s team, such as former White House counsel Don McGahn, witnessed Trump’s actions up close and were privy to key moments in the obstruction investigation and spent many hours with investigators.
One person close to the White House said there is “breakdown-level anxiety” among some current and former staffers who cooperated with the investigation at the direction of Trump’s legal team at the time.
They work for Trump. I can’t summon any sympathy.

I gathered all my sympathy for those people and placed it here, in this fairy thimble.

Way down there, in a corner, I think it is slightly visible if you squint.
But, if the report was so exonerate-y, why aren’t they *celebrating* the people who participated in it (and, hence, helped to exonerate Individual-1)?
Exonerate-y or not, they still tattled.
Just to be clear, tattling is very, very bad.
Tattling is very very bad if you’re a dodgy mobster with something to hide. If you are a scrupulous and upstanding person with nothing to hide, not so much.
