It was pretty obvious that Nauta and De Oiviera were going to end up in the clear one way or another. Even if they'd have gotten convicted, Trump could pardon them. As I posted at the time, the last administration could have effectively done the same thing, and dispensed with any pretext for not having that report released. A lot of good it does now.
